Every year there is one game that comes out of nowhere and makes you scratch your head. Actually it is usually more than one game. There is the one we have no business winning, that we pull out, and there unfortunately is one we have no business losing that we cough up. So far, we’ve [...]
The athletic department at the University of Maryland has long term leases on 41 of the 64 suites at Byrd Stadium. That number is 7 short of the number required to pay the annual debt requirment for the new Tyser Tower addition. In today’s Washington Post the university also reports having only sold 357 of the [...]
Well I’m sitting down here in North Carolina, aka the heart of ACC Country as I begin my vacation. Up in College Park there are a bunch of kids in the exact opposite situation. For tomorrow is the start of fall practice, and for all intensive purposes, the start of the season. In a way [...]
Next up for Meet the Newbies is another incoming Linebacker. Bradley Johnson is a 6’1″ 210 lb lineback coming to us via Dinwiddie High School down in Virginia (just southwest of Petersburg to be exact). While at Dinwiddie HS Bradley recorded 124 tackles and 4 interceptions in 2008. His Junior year was equally impressive with 113 [...]
The defense back position has always been important in ACC play. There are a ton of speed guys in the ACC, as well as all the other BCS Confernces, and when you can’t stop the pass, it creates all kinds of problems. You end up opening yourself up to the run, and you also become [...]
After watching the Washington Huskie’s win the Woman’s 2009 NCAA Softball Championship, I figure this is a good a time as any to recap the Maryland Woman’s Softball team, which wasn’t quite as successful. Though the Huskie victory was in itself quite an accomplishment, it was nothing like the game Florida won to advance to [...]
Before we get into the Dropsie Awards for Baseball, we first need to report that after nine years at the helm of Maryland Baseball, Terry Rupp resigned today. Rupp had a career mark of 227-271 over that span, with an ACC record of 61-183. As bad as it sounds Rupp did make some progress during [...]
Welcome everyone to the first year of the Dropsie* Awards (*name pending). With the ending of the Woman’s Lacrosse season we have reached the end of what we can possibly write about for the 2008-2009 school year. So with no where else to turn, and still needing to cover two more months until Football opens [...]
Well the dream season for the 2009 Women’s Lacrosse team came to an end on Friday night, just shy of the Championship game in Towson’s Johnny Unitas Stadium. The Lady Terps fell to the Tarheels of UNC 8-7. The 7 goal total was a season low for the Terps. Though calling a 21-1 season a failure is [...]
Or maybe I should call this entry the John Deere “ACC Bowl Tie In Blog” brought to you by Dell Computers. I swear this sponsorship stuff is getting out of hand. Anyway, the ACC has announced the bowl tie ins for the 2009 season. Not much new, but there are some shake up’s near the [...]
