Terps Baseball Update

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Yesterday I got a text from my writing partner here at Turtledroppings that “Maryland Baseball swept”.  I being the optimist wrote back “Awesome”, which he probably took as sarcasm or just another WTF moment from his writing partner. Unfortunately the text was misinterpreted and our baseball dropped 3 in a row to Wake Forest.  So [...]

Terps Baseball Continues Hot Start

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

And with this post, I believe Turtledroppings.com has now brought their total baseball posts # up to 3! But that could soon be changing. Terps Head Coach Erik Bakich has the Terps men rolling. They are now 9-1 coming off of a 4 game sweep of Manhattan. Now I’m sure many people are saying “Well [...]

Terps Baseball, A Rising Tide?

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

I have never been a big College Baseball fan, yet that doesn’t keep me from watching the College World Series each season and wishing how our Terps might one day represent us there.  Call me biased, but I have always believed we live in a state with fertile baseball soil, after all we produced such [...]

A Terps Christmas List

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

My wife’s aunt recently bought my daughter a statue of a Maryland themed Santa with a little girl in a Terps Cheerleading outfit sitting on his lap.  On her list is written “Beat Virginia”.  Though I totally agree with the little girl, I also have a few other things I would like to add to [...]

Maryland Weekend In Review

Sunday, November 6th, 2011

With the football team floundering around, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look around the rest of the cash strapped athletic department since there was so much going on over the weekend. We might as well start with football since it is the least interesting.  The Randy Edsall era seems [...]

Terps Grind Their Way into Lacrosse National Championship

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

The University of Maryland Men’s Lacrosse team isn’t exactly a high flying production with jaw dropping goals and lightning quick attacks, but man can they play some suffocating defense.  In fact, how appropriate was it that the game was played in M & T Bank Stadium, where 11  years ago the Baltimore Ravens won their [...]

Terps Lacrosse in Final Four Action Tonight

Saturday, May 28th, 2011

Don’t forget to check in at 6:30 to watch the Maryland Men’s Lacrosse team try to do what the woman’s lacrosse team did last night…..which was beat Duke.  As a Marylander from one of the poorer counties who did not have Lacrosse growing up (though they now do), I can’t claim to be any kind [...]

Maryland Lacrosse Wins In OT, Advances to Final Four.

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

Maryland Lacrosse wins a sudden death game against Syracuse to advance to next weekends Final Four in Baltimore.  Maryland lead 5-3 (yes 5-3) going into the fourth quarter before Syracuse tied it with about 1:30 left. In OT Maryland dodged a bullet as Syracuse missed on a fast break, but the Terps actually got the [...]

Saving the Super Bowl Halftime Show

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

I know this is a Maryland sports blog, but give me a break.  When you have a plan to save an event as lovable as the Super Bowl, you don’t hold it in, it has to be heard.  Plus I promise to somehow tie this back to Maryland.  So just hold tight. But before we [...]
