Now the Exit Fee

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Looks like I can’t let this go after all.  Sorry, for yet another rant, but I saw this in the Baltimore Sun and thought it was mighty interesting.  As we are all painfully aware, the ACC is charging Maryland $52 Million to leave the ACC.  And as we are all aware, Wallace Loh does not [...]

One Last Rant on Leaving the ACC

Saturday, December 1st, 2012

I know I need to let this go.  At some point railing against an issue that is already settled just makes you look like a psycho, and as the surrounding voices of discontent one by one give way to the acceptance, I look around and see I’m the only one still yelling.  And I don’t [...]

A Maryland Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

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 [...]

Terps to Big 10? Just Say N(1)o!

Sunday, November 18th, 2012

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 [...]

Random Terps Thoughts…and Baseball

Wednesday, April 4th, 2012

This is the time of year when covering Maryland Sports gets a little tough.  Actually Summer is probably the toughest, at least until Spring Ball begins, but lets face it, Football and Basketball drive Terp Sports.  Lacrosse and Baseball are interesting, but most alumni don’t live and die by how these teams do.  Especially with [...]
