Turtledroppings Bowl Pick’em Update #3

Friday, December 28th, 2012

Let me preface this by saying that the Minnesota-Texas Tech game has not gone final yet.  I just have to get this update in while I have a chance.  Tomorrow, weather permitting I plan on heading up to College Park for the Maryland-Delaware State Basketball game, so I wouldn’t be able to update until later, [...]

Turtledroppings Bowl Pick’em Contest Update #2

Wednesday, December 26th, 2012

Alright, I’m back from my Amish Christmas (Mom doesn’t have internet or HD TV), hopefully everyone had (or is having) a great Holiday.  There were several game played between the last update and this morning.  Despite those five games being played there really wasn’t much of a shake up. J is still the man to [...]

TD.com Bowl Pick’em Contest Update #1

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

Sorry, this is late.  I lost the pools for a bit, but they have re-surfaced.  Please don’t let that be a reflection on my organizational skills.  Then again, me asking that, is like Chris Brown asking people to not judge his respect for woman based on his beating up of Rhianna.  So I guess I’m [...]

Terps and Big 10 TV Trouble

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

Turns out the Maryland marriage to the Big 10 may not be as smooth as we all hoped.  Interesting article out of Baltimore Business Journal today saying there is no guarantee that Maryland games will be on the Big 10 network.  You can read the whole article Here. To summarize, Maryland could have as many [...]

Terps to Face George Mason in the BB & T

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

If you are nostalgic for the BB & T classic, or at least for seeing Maryland play in it, you should hustle down to Verizon Center today.  Turgeon has made it clear if this game lacks some fan support or atmosphere, it could very well be Maryland’s 18th and final appearance in the charity tournament.  He [...]

Getting Caught Up Post BC

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

Unfortunately for me it was a pretty busy weekend.  One that saw me listen to the game on the radio, get text updates, and finally see most of the last quarter on the internet.  Add to that, I haven’t watched the replay yet either.  So, for me to get into the game a whole lot [...]

Today is Decision Day for Harrison Twins

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

Well the day is upon us.  The day that could perhaps be a game changer for the Maryland Basketball program.  If Aaron and Andrew Harrison choose the Terps over Kentucky, it could be the start of something big for us Terp fans.  They are both ranked in the top 10 in 2013′s rankings by all [...]

CJ Brown Out for 2012

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012

Multiple sources are reporting that CJ Brown, the Terps projected starter at QB this year has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the entire 2012 season. The Turtledroppings staff would like to wish Brown all the best during his recovery. Looking forward I have to say that the season was already going [...]

What’s in a Name?

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

The Maryland Terrapins once again will have names on the back of their uniforms.  Does this mean much in terms of how we do on the field….well no, but to me it is a step in the right direction.  Maryland was the first school to put names on Jerseys so having a name on the [...]

The Playoffs Are Here, But…

Friday, June 29th, 2012

I can’t believe it has finally happened. Then again, College Football changes so much from week to week, it’s crazy to think that something like this couldn’t happen. I mean if WVU is going to the Big 12, who says we can’t put a bowl game on the moon? But if you are like me, [...]
