Can’t say we didn’t see this coming. But it doesn’t make things any easier. DJ Adams today was granted his release from the University of Maryland to go pursue his College Football career elsewhere. Adams joins sophmore Defensive End David Mackall who will also be leaving the program. DJ was coming off a successful freshman [...]

 I knew this was going to be a long winter for Maryland Basketball but I had no idea how HARD of a winter it was going to be.  And I mean that in the most complementary way towards the Terps.  I was prepared to see us come up short night after night and have a [...]

I think one of the last games, if not the last game, that I went to in Cole Field House was the Maryland -Illinois game in November of 2001.  Ahh, the memories.  The Terps beat a pretty jet lagged team up and down the court.  The Terps were ranked #5, and the Illini were #2. [...]

Is there hope for a coaching change in College Park?  You would have to think no, right?  I mean our Athletic Department doesn’t have a pot to you know what in, how can we pay two Football Coaches, one to coach, the other not to coach?  It just doesn’t make sense.   Throw in that this [...]

I will have to admit, I wasn’t home for the first half of the game.  You see these days, Maryland football isn’t appointment television for me.  If something more appealing comes up, I am going to do it.  Yesterday, it was an afternoon on the town with my wife who finally felt well enough to [...]

With the holiday fast approaching this week, I contacted LRM from State Fan Nation to get a look at all things regarding Debbie Yow and her NC State Wolf Pack football team.  Unfortunately, I think State wins this one easy, but it is nice to see at least one State fan is a little leery of [...]

Just a few (bad news) notes for the Terps and the depth chart as they head down to NC State this weekend.  First of all, Ronnie Tyler has played his last game for Maryland.  He will not be making the trip due to academic issues.  It is kind of sad to see how his last [...]

Look, we all know this was going to be a long winter.  We didn’t know the Football team was going to ruin the fall as well, but anyone who knows anything about Terps Basketball knew this season was going to be tough.  And it will be.  But don’t let it get you down. In 2010 [...]
