Still a little giddy about the Terps loss on Saturday.  What?!  Giddy about a lose?? Absolutely!!  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, it is sort of lame.  But to me, the fun of college football is the ability to compete week in and week out, knowing we can at least make 3 hours of TV interesting [...]

Monday is usually a busy day for fans of the ACC.  It is the day the conference announces its players of the week and also the day the game times are announced for two weeks down the road.  Now as a Maryland fan recently, there hasn’t been to many opportunities to have players receive honors, [...]

Let me be the first to say, I was right there with most of the Football fan base.  In my mind, Maryland was going to lose,and by a lot.  While it is still a loss, there are some positives to take from yesterdays game with West Virginia.  When your two deep has 12 true freshman [...]

This is easily the longest I’ve gone durning the football season without writing.  The combinatoin of a super busy week, and just the down right depression from the UConn loss has taken it’s toll. Don’t get me wrong, the UConn loss was not a bad loss, in fact I think UConn was favored, but that [...]

I think everyone who bleeds red and black (and gold and white for that matter) have a feeling deep inside that this game could get ugly.  Really ugly.  It is game a both schools want to win.  Dana Holgorson has said it, Randy Edsall has said, and you can go back to Friedgen and RichRod. [...]

It’s finally here!  That’s right….The Don Brown Bowl…no wait.  I mean the Randy Edsall Bowl.  Or if you follow Edsalls thoughts, we can just call it week three.  I like the idea of calling it week three, but to be honest, this is the Edsall Bowl.  There is more riding on this than Coach likes [...]

As a kid when we went crabbing, even when we weren’t pulling traps or running the trot line, we always had someone with a net looking for “Doublers”.  When crabs mated, the male would cradle the female along the surface, if you had a sharp eye, you could see them a few yards away, position [...]

Maryland Football and Maryland Basketball have always been sort of a ying and a yang.  Except for one brief glorious period in 2001 when we were a Final Four Team and a BCS Football School (remember those pick your poison shirts??), usually one is up, and the other is down.  This last year was particularly [...]

Confession time.  I did not get to see this game.  I had a family commitment that kept me away from the TV on Saturday, but I followed as closely as I could on my phone.  I’m glad I did because it could be the highlight of the 2012 season….or maybe not. There is no use [...]

According to West Virginia University. The Big 12 (wow that’s weird to write) has announced the WVU game will be a noon kickoff televised on FX. Confirmation here.
