It’s time for Maryland Football, it’s time for Tailgating, and it’s time to do a Maryland game day forecast!  What else could be better?  As you are probably aware (if you bother visiting Maryland themed blogs) the Terps will be hosting William and Mary this Saturday.   Now normally, this would be a “Yawn, wake me [...]

While Maryland’s QB situation seems a little more dire and almost tragic losing Danny O’Brien to transfer and C.J. Brown to injury, William and Mary also has some issues under center as well.  You know the saying if you have two quarterbacks, you really have no quarterbacks?  Well the Tribe was going into fall camp [...]

It’s game week!  Hard to believe but College Football is here!  Yeah.  Anyway, for us Terps fan, this week may be the biggest one of the year, as it represents our best chance at winning (wait weren’t we just a 9 win team two years ago??).  Any who, today the news out of College Park [...]

With the excitement/panic of the start of the college football season, the ACC reminded us that basketball still counts to many of us.  Today the conference and school released the 2012-2013 basketball schedule. We already knew the season would start in Brooklyn against defending National Champions Kentucky November 9th.  Call me a little excited about [...]

With the advent of text messaging, I must say that when my phone actually rings, it is either something complex that needs to be worked out, or the news is so bad that it has to be broken by a human voice.  So when you get that ring, especially if it is in the middle [...]

Can you believe that at this time next week, it will be game week?  Where does the summer go?  I say this every year, but when I was much younger the start of College Football season seemed like it approached with about as much speed as a glacier going uphill, now I blink my eyes [...]

As I sit down here at the beach, I decided I probably wasn’t going to post any material this week, unless some news broke that could not be ignored.  Well guess what, it did.  Not that anyone who is reading hasn’t already heard the news.  Maryland will be without the services of starting QB CJ [...]

Multiple sources are reporting that CJ Brown, the Terps projected starter at QB this year has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the entire 2012 season. The Turtledroppings staff would like to wish Brown all the best during his recovery. Looking forward I have to say that the season was already going [...]

Maryland Football is officially preparing for the 2012 season.  Media day was yesterday, and camp starts in earnest today.  For fans the chance to move on from last seasons disaster should be a welcoming site.  However, the season ended, but the drama did not as the fall out from Randy Edsall’s first season continued in [...]

The Maryland Terrapins once again will have names on the back of their uniforms.  Does this mean much in terms of how we do on the field….well no, but to me it is a step in the right direction.  Maryland was the first school to put names on Jerseys so having a name on the [...]
