I’m still a little bummed out about the NC State loss, and the ramifications for our season.  It will most likely cost us a bowl game, but looking at the big picture, anything over two wins would have been viewed as a success in 2012.  So for us to be sitting here at 4-3, with [...]

I really can’t think of any other way to describe this game.  I usually don’t allow myself to start thinking ahead until the final 0:00 is on the clock.  I’ve been burned too many times.  But all day long yesterday I thought the Terps were going to pull it out, and they did…sort of. By [...]

I knew it couldn’t last forever. The October 27th game at Boston College will be “broadcast” by ESPN 3 and be a 1 pm kickoff. I knew it wouldn’t last forever, but I was really starting to like those 3:00 kickoffs. I guess I am not too surprised though given the season BC is having [...]

I don’t think anyone will be surprised by this, but Stefon Diggs won the ACC Specialist of the week. His 100+ yard kickoff return was a huge part in Maryland’s win over UVA. For good measure he finished with 239 all purpose yards. Not to be outdone, Darin Drakeford was awarded the Linebacker top spot. [...]

Before I get into the game, I would personally like to thank the folks at Comcast Sports Net Mid Atlantic for having me miss the most productive quarter of Maryland football in years.  The killer was I simply thought, oh they will have this on the CSN + station they had midnight madness on the [...]

I live for weekends like this.  Autumn is in full swing (why some in the Baltimore area may even be getting their first frost of the year) and the Terps are playing a huge game down in the Piedmont of Central Virginia.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I know most guys are still upset about the Edsall [...]

It’s a great day to be a Terp.  The Football team is 3-2 and looking at a huge Saturday match up in UVA, which if they can pull out, will put us 4-2 on Homecoming Day.  Hard to imagine us on the happy side of .500 after 2011.  But perhaps the best news of all, [...]

Here we go, it’s October, the baseball post season is mere moments away, and the Terps are favored.  Live is good in College Park.  But is any of it going to last?  This is a key game for Maryland, the momentum they gained by sticking with WVU has had two weeks to subside, however, on [...]

You know, it was a weekend without football, and for the first time in a little while, I can say I missed it even with our Terps coming off a loss.  I think it has a lot to do with watching Stefon Diggs.   If he moves the excitement meter for me, hopefully some other [...]

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 [...]
