With Debbie Yow’s move to NC State, an era has ended at the University of Maryland.  Obviously this is pretty big news and as such, I feel we here at Turtledroppings.com should have some sort of opinion on it.  I mean if you have a blog you have to be passionate one way or the [...]

Not to steal the thunder from Greivis after a great night but it has been reported by multiple news sources that Debbie Yow will be accepting the North Carolina State Athletic Director position today in Raleigh.   Yow is a native of North Carolina and a graduate of Elon University.  Her  sister was the head women’s [...]

4 Maryland baseball recruits have been selected in the first two days of the MLB First Year Player Draft.  Their prize shorstop, Cito Culver, from NY was selected by the Yankees at the end of the first round.  3 other players including, Patrick Leyland, the son of Tigers Manager, Jim Leyland, have been selected within the first [...]

The Maryland Woman’s Lacrosse rallied today from a 6-0 hole to beat the defending Champion Northwestern Wildcats.  Not only is Northwestern the defending champs, but they have won 5 straight National Championships coming into today’s match up.

The Terps turned away a pesky Hofstra team 11-8 to move to the Elite 8.  The Terps, taking a cue from Gary Williams Basketball Team are now 12-3 in first round NCAA action.  They will travel up to New Jersy next Saturday to take on Notre Dame who knocked off Princeton.  This will be interesting [...]

As the Terps move into the Post Season for Lacrosse, once again the story on the field is dwarfed by the events off of it.  The Murder of one UVA female Lacrosse player, by a member of the UVA Men’s team is a story that doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon.  And it [...]

It was only a matter of time when you think about it.  The economy is in a tough spot and when stuff like this happens, the first things to get cut are the non essentials.  Of course the term “Non Essential” is a relative term.  For example for the University of Maryland, non essentials are [...]

The Maryland Baseball Team named Vanderbilt Assistant Erik Bakich as it’s replacement for Terry Rupp today.  What is impressive (considering the mediocre records) is this is only the Terps sixth head coach in 116 years.  What does Bakich bring to the table?  It appears he has done very well recruiting for Vanderbilt over the last seven years.  While there he [...]
