This evening, Maryland will be taking on #6 ranked North Carolina.  Even though this has been a down season for the Terps, there have been plenty of things to take away from this season that lead you to believe things are truly heading in the right direction.  However, one thing is missing for me this [...]

I have never been a big College Baseball fan, yet that doesn’t keep me from watching the College World Series each season and wishing how our Terps might one day represent us there.  Call me biased, but I have always believed we live in a state with fertile baseball soil, after all we produced such [...]

It’s that time of year again, time to schedule your baby sitters and send regrets to those jerks who planned their wedding during college football season.  That is right, as of 2:00 today, the ACC Football Schedule is out.  Here is a first look at who our Terps will be facing, or more importantly when [...]

I already had a post ready to go yesterday celebrating the Terps win in Atlanta.  Those who are supersticious can now blame me for jinxing the team, but in my defense, the Terps were facing a Georgia Tech team at the bottom of the standings playing in, what only the most optimistic Tech fan could [...]

I had a nice little review in my mind and got about 2 sentences in, when I got a work related call that changed the entire day for me.  So instead of finishing that now, I am going to condense that and look ahead to today’s game at Virginia. First, the Boston College game.  That [...]

Let me preface this by saying I have no inside information, no connection, no idea what is going on inside Danny O’Brien’s head, so everything to follow is just opinion and speculation in the highest degree. With all that being said, the big winner this week that no one is talking about is CJ Brown.  [...]

It was a very newsworthy week last week, and I didn’t have computer access since my wife took the laptop to a conference.  Sure I have the WordPress App for iPhone, but that usually is better left for short news updates.  So, here I am to talk all things Maryland from last week.  The Terps [...]

As much as the Terps Football team seemed on cloud nine after the Diggs commitment, things are back to being a mess, as Danny O’Brien, Max Garcia, and Mario Rowson all announce they will be transferring from Maryland. There are two ways to handle this news, cry “Woe is me?” until the pain passes, or [...]
