National Signing Day Eve

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

It is hard to be too optimistic after the disaster that was the 2011 Maryland Football season.  Enter DC Recruiting specialist Mike Locksley, and maybe, just maybe there is a sliver of hope us Maryland fans could be pleasantly surprised.  I guess the worst case scenario is that the 23 players who “committed” actually sign [...]

Quick Thoughts After VT Game

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

There for awhile it looked like we might finally get the blow out win we have been waiting for all season.  However, this is the “M.O.” of this years team.  Maryland simply has trouble in late game situations.  Everything from allowing easy layups when trying not to foul to missing free throws.  If you can [...]

Taking A Look At Virginia Tech

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

There is no denying it.  Maryland needs to win this game against Virginia Tech today.  It will be very interesting to see the atmosphere today.  THE event of the year was Wednesday night.  Duke, Gary floor ceremony, Gymkana.  That is the perfect storm of getting Comcast rocking.  Today is an afternoon game for the Terps, [...]

Duke Outmuscles Maryland

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Currently I’m trapped up here in Philadelphia going on week 3.  My son is in the Philadelphia Children’s Hospital going through some lung treatments that are supposed to help his left lung open back up.  It was a planned admission and nothing is wrong with him, but as our 1 to 2 week stay  moves [...]

It’s Here, Duke at Maryland

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

The team everyone at Maryland love’s to hate is in town tonight for the big game with Duke.  If that isn’t enough to get you going, it is also the night Maryland will honor Gary Williams by naming the court after him.  Before I go to far about Duke, let me get this off my [...]

Alex Len Ankle Injury Update

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

In his weekly teleconference, Maryland Coach Mark Turgeon said he expects Alex Len to play in Wednesday’s night game against Duke.  The question is how much.  Apparently he had treatment yesterday, and will need to improve each day between now and Wednesday to get a lot of burn in my mind.  There is no doubt [...]

Annapolis, Milkshakes, and AJ Francis

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

The original post was going to be about how great Maryland plays basketball down the stretch, but…well…. Anyway, Chris and I both followed this story close on Twitter and know that this has a lot of meaning to many of our friends.  In fact, this has a lot of meaning for anyone who has lived [...]

Terps Comeback Falls Short at Temple

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Another second half comeback for Maryland fell short for the Terps at the Pallestra against Temple today.  It was an extremely sloppy game for Maryland and more importantly Alex Len left the game early in the first half with an ankle injury and did not return for the second half. Terrell Stoglin was able to [...]

Huey, DUI, and Louie

Friday, January 20th, 2012

I got nothing for those other names but the dreaded DUI has raised his head in College Park. Assistant Basketball Coach Dalonte Hill was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. For this still alleged discretion, Hill will be suspended for at least the Temple and Duke games. Obviously drinking and driving is a [...]

Last Look at Terps Loss to FSU

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Better late than never I suppose.  Sorry yesterday was a surprisingly busy day for me, and I never got around to writing about the game.   If we look at this season with the thought that I had before the season started, this team is performing at a level I think we can all live [...]
