The Maryland Men’s Lacrosse team failed to advance to the final four, falling to Notre Dame 7-5 in Princeton, NJ today.  This makes this years classs of Seniors only the second classes since 1971 to have never played in a Final Four.  That fact will certainly increase the temperature of Dave Cottle’s hot seat.  Cottle’s Terps [...]

Well, in my rant of all things I detest about the Big Ten yesterday, I picked on Penn State.  Low and Behold, the Terps Basketball Team will be traveling to Happy Valley to take on Penn State.  Not the marquee matchup I had hoped for, but I guess you couldn’t expect the powers to be [...]

First and foremost I don’t claim to have any inside knowledge of the Derby.  I’m an average horse bettor on my best day, and I have a lot more stories of woe than of triumph at the track.  So maybe I’m not even average.  At any rate I feel horse racing is a sport so [...]

Just when I was starting to think the Maryland Basketball coaching staff was starting to get some continuity going again, likely the top recruiter on the staff, Chuck Driesell is off to the Citadel for a head coaching gig.  Obviously, you hate to loose assistant coaches, but at the same time it is nice to [...]

Turtledroppings.com would like to congratulate the University of Maryland’s Competitive Cheer Team (or is it squad?) for winning the 2010 National Championship.  The Terps beat out the University of Louisville for the crown.  For the Terps this is their 4th championship in 5 years.  Can you say dynasty?!?! Want to see some highlights?  Click below: [...]

Well, the first annual Turtledroppings.com Bracket Challenge has come and gone, and we have a winner.  Unfortunately, for the bank account here at TD, Bob or myself did not win, so we will have to pay out, Jodi A!  This is amazing considering, she was in dead last for almost the entire contest, but she [...]

When I saw this I was stunned.  Not because I didn’t think he deserved it, more because some guy named Wall didn’t win it.  This is wonderful news and well deserved.  He beat out the likes of John Wall and Evan Turner.  Past winners are Jameer Nelson, Raymond Felton, Dee Brown, Acie Law, D.J. Augustin, [...]

Wow, this was a little more of an undertaking than I thought it would be.  Anyway, at long last here is where we stand after the first round of games.  I will go in depth following Sunday’s games to give you an idea of who has a chance at winning, but the weather is just [...]

It must be hard for a coaching staff to know you have a big game set for a certain date, yet not knowing your opponent until 22 hours before the game.  For the Terps, that has been the case, but now we know they will be playing Georgia Tech tonight at 7 pm.  We all [...]
