Ok, nothing in that title is true, but I’m still rolling with it. As much as I am still reeling about the abandonment of the ACC, I will try to put those feelings a side for a moment. Because if this is the Big 10 we are going to be joining, sign me up! Granted, [...]

As per TRADITION, on Wednesday night I returned to my hometown to hang out with friends prior to Thanksgiving.  As per usual when friends and drinks mix, the topic of sports dominated the conversation.  Because I grew up in…well what for 60 years was ACC Country…most of those friends are fans of ACC Schools.  Needless to say, [...]

As per tradition, here is my Maryland Thanksgiving Post.  Oh crap, my University of Maryland developed grammar check just said I can’t put “Maryland” and “Tradition” in the same sentence, it does however recommend “Maryland” and “Money”.  I’ll just hit ignore and move on. As we reach another Thanksgiving below are some of things I’m [...]

I know there is nothing my ranting can do, but the more this decision sets in, the angrier I am getting.  I just can’t believe what has transpired, and all the people who think this move is good from any stand point.  If you aren’t outraged, god bless you, I wish I wasn’t, I wish [...]

Another football season, another rumor of conference realignment, and this latest one is dateline College Park.  Once again we are going through this Maryland to the Big 10 issue.  Look, let’s be clear, I have no problem with the Big 10, but it isn’t where Maryland belongs. I know everything is driven by money, but [...]

How depressing is this, it is now time to do the forecast for the final home game of the season.  Where does the time go?  I remember a few years ago before we had turtledroppings when I would do the forecast for our tailgate web page.  I would wait until the end of August when [...]

Apparently my wife and I were one of the few people who realized there was a game in College Park last night. The announced attendance of 8,724 was pretty abysmal. And that was noticed by Mark Turgeon. Look, we get it, Morehead State is not an elite team, but you have to be excited by [...]

I sure hope so.  With the news that Stefon Diggs and Wes Brown will be out with ankle injuries for the Clemson game this weekend, we need something more positive to look forward to.  Luckily for us, the Maryland Basketball season begins tonight.  Luckily for us, freshly cleared Dez Wells should give the Terps a [...]
