First there was a basketball game last night.  Not a very good one, but a win.  I think as long as they don’t lose any of these games before conference play, we will all be happy.  There are some things to take from this game. When Terrell Stoglin was out with the foul trouble, the [...]

Reports are Gary Crowton is to be replaced by former New Mexico Head Coach Mike Locksley.  Crowton leaving isn’t really a shock as he was openly offering himself as a candidate for the Colorado State HC job.  A clear sign that either he wanted out, or someone else wanted him out.  The real story here [...]

Two more players and a coach have left the Maryland football program.  Let’s start with the players.  Cody Blue was first to become public.  He has been both and offensive and defensive lineman in his time with the Terps.  I think we can all agree there is some depth issues starting to form on both [...]

It’s been a few days now, but I finally got to look over the letter from Kevin Anderson and Randy Edsall addressed to Maryland Football season ticket holders (or was it Terp Club).  Regardless many of you may have already read this letter.  However, in this version, I included my own sarcastic comments.  The word [...]

Most conventional Contest Updates come out after the action has begun, but not for us.  We came across an error on our spreadsheet.  Apparently we have Toledo facing Toledo in the Military Bowl Match up.  It should actually be Toledo facing Air Force.  When you submit your entry either fix the spreadsheet or put within [...]

As much as it pains me to do so, every now and then I have to give a little credit to my writing partner here at Turtledroppings.com.  Out of curiosity, I went back to his post on the Anderson hire just to see how right he actually was.  I remember he wasn’t thrilled about the hire [...]

After I hit enter on that title, I thought I made it sound like the injured guard is going to go around Comcast Center delivering toys.  The truth is, he expects to return on December 23rd.  So if you are a little kid reading, don’t worry about the gift thing.  The big guy from the [...]

As part of the ESPN College Football Awards show last night, Defensive Tackle, Joe Vellano was named to the second team of the Walter Camp All American Team. The honor was well earned.  Vellano was the lone bright spot on the Terps defense that ranked among the nations worst.  If you are looking for something [...]

This time of year, you just kind of hope you don’t step on yourm own feet.  Last night the Terps almost did that coughing up a 16 point lead to Mount St. Mary’s.  The first half felt like the game should have been a blow out.  Maryland was scoring easily inside with both Ashton Pankey and [...]
