As much as it pains me to do so, every now and then I have to give a little credit to my writing partner here at Turtledroppings.com. Out of curiosity, I went back to his post on the Anderson hire just to see how right he actually was. I remember he wasn’t thrilled about the hire [...]
Oh, I had a feeling the day would come. Someone finally pulled the trigger on hiring Mike Leach. It wasn’t Maryland. For a brief moment, we had a ray of hope thinking Edsall might be NFL bound, but that pipe dream didn’t last too long. Anyway, Washington State and their 30-some-thousand seat stadium landed Leach. [...]
Happy Thanksgiving from Turtledroppings to your family. As tradition, here is list of all the things we are thankful for as Maryland fans and Alums. Please feel free to add your own in the comments section. We will gladly accept sincere and not so sincere thoughts. Also before we get into the list, I never [...]
First and foremost, if you haven’t read the Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics Report to President Loh, you should probably take a peek. It is a very interesting look inside of the University of Maryland’s Athletic Department. You can find it at www.umterps.com. If you don’t want to look through all 27 pages, (I just put [...]
It seems it is time for Maryland Football to get back to basics. They will be wearing red jerseys, white pants, with the white shell patterned helmet. Does that seem a little bit like last year? I think so. Hopefully it will make the play on the field a little more like last year. This [...]
Ok, I hate the term throw away season, but that is what it has become. I hate the excuses. However, I do have a few things Randy Edsall can do to allow me to give him one more chance. From the time Friedgen was being let go, until now has been an absolute disaster for [...]
For those of you who think God hates Maryland Football, this forecast isn’t going to change your mind. But before we get into that, lets take just a quick look at where we are with the season. This weekend sees the beginning of a much easier stretch of Maryland Football, starting with Boston College. Poor [...]
The Terps will square off against Clemson under the lights at Byrd Stadium for the first time since 2001. That year Maryland clinched a share of the ACC Title with a win over the Tigers. The game will kick off at 7:00pm and should draw a nice crowd. The game will also be televised on [...]
Normally I hate change. The CW here in Baltimore put the King of Queens on at 6:00 pm bumping one of the Simpson’s from what was previously the best two hour stretch of the day. Simpsons-Family Guy, Simpsons-Family Guy from 6-8:00. Now it goes KOQ-Family Guy-Simpsons-Family Guy. AND THIS IS PROGRESS?? But sometimes change can [...]
West Virginia may have won the game on Saturday, but the Terps emerged from the weekend a lot more sure of their immediate future. It is official, Syracuse and Pitt will be joining the ACC. My thoughts…I would have loved to see the ACC remain more of a “Southern” Conference, but we already have Boston College [...]
