Well it looks as if the replacement for To(dd) Bra(d)for(d) is about to be made.  Brian Stewart, University of Houston’s DC is expected to be announced as the Terps new Defensive Coordinator according to Patrick Stevens.  The interesting part of this for me is, Stewart was passed over by Houston to become the head coach [...]

If you were just a casual basketball fan, it was an ugly game.  If you were a Maryland fan, it was a beautiful game.  Both teams struggled from the floor.  The Terps held Tech to 24% shooting in the first half and 33% overall.  Most importantly, the combination of Sean Mosley and Nick Faust limited [...]

First of all, I would like to apologize for not covering the Wake Forest game, we were sort of in a unique position last week as Chris was without a computer and I am living out of a suitcase up in Philadelphia while my son gets hospitalized for some treatments.  So the Wake game sort of [...]

That title is one thing we haven’t said much about Maryland Basketball season this year.  Sure they went to Puerto Rico, but outside of that, the biggest trip they had was all the way to…DC.  Yet another question for this young and evolving team.  How will they fare in hostile environment? NC State comes into [...]

If you are looking for a reason to look forward to the NFL playoffs, well I don’t know what to tell you.  You might want to get your soul checked out because there is a chance it could be missing.  The NFL has taken sports to an all new level and is, without a doubt, [...]

With basketball season about to go full bore with the start of the ACC schedule this weekend, there is some good news regarding the football team to announce.  Yeah, hard to believe the words “good news” and “Maryland Football” can be used in the same sentence, but last night on the Under Armour All-American game, [...]
