The start time of the first three Maryland Football games have been released.  The Terps will face Navy at 4:00 pm (which is a very convenient 10:00 am tailgate start time) at M and T Stadium.  Hopefully this year they will have more Port-a-Potties in the parking lot than they did in 2005.  The second [...]

This time of the college sports season is tough to come up with news worthy post, but there is one topic floating around out there that won’t go away.  Talk of Maryland to the Big 10(11) when they expand, which seems very likely, won’t go away, and here Andy Katz mentions Maryland.  It has been [...]

Nick Novak is back in the NFL.  The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the former Maryland kicker has signed on with the San Diego Chargers.  If you go back to my draft post, you will note that in addition to Hill and Davis in San Francisco, Heyward-Bey and Bruce Campbell in Oakland, we now have [...]

First on the quarterback front it appears Jamar Robinson will be the starter.  In the few quotes [...]

The news trickling out of spring football has not been very exciting this year.  That is both good and bad.  The good news is there haven’t been a ton of injuries, the bad news is, there just hasn’t been too much news worthy.  Last night however, was the first scrimmage of the spring, and there [...]

Well, if you look at a certain readers response to the start of spring practice post, you will notice our pal JH said it was very important for Maryland to escape without any injuries.  Wouldn’t you know it, after the first week of practices, a likely starter is out.  Taylor Watson, who was likely penciled [...]

Well, if having your tournament life sucked out of you on a buzzer beater wasn’t bad enough, the Maryland Football Team started to build toward rectifying the disaster of 2009 yesterday.  That’s right, no sooner does basketball end for us, spring football is there to keep us busy here.  The first of 15 practices was [...]
