This is a big sports weekend for anyone from Baltimore.  The Orioles will be playing in their first playoff game in 15 years.  While that in and of itself is notable; what's more interesting is how the Orioles got to this point.  At 93-69, the 2012 Orioles have turned in one of the best seasons the franchise has had in 30 years and they've done wit [...] Read More »

I am shortly boarding a plane for 8 hours and I'm not going to have time to do a full analysis of tomorrow's game.   Suffice it to say that the Terps will have their hands full with the 8th ranked team in the nation.  In particular, the Mountaineer offense will pose a stiff challenge.  The Terps defense has been relatively stout so far, but they [...] Read More »

The Edsall Bowl.  There are only two states in the Union that care about this matchup tomorrow.  We just happen to go to school in one of them.  For the Terps, tomorrow's game represents the opportunity to get to an improbable 3-0.  In the Terps way is an offensively challenged UConn squad.  NC State barely escaped their game with UConn winning [...] Read More »

Well we're here.  The Terps are playing the perennially pathetic Temple Owls and we're underdogs.  How did we get here?  It's not worth rehashing.  I'll just say this:  a loss to Temple will solidify my belief that the Terps are headed a bad season, perhaps as bad as last season.  If that comes to fruition, Edsall will need to light it up on the re [...] Read More »

Let's be honest.  No one really thinks these Terps are going to be much good this year.  I'd say all hope went out the door when CJ Brown got injured but that would be a lie.  My hope faded when Danny O'Brien transferred.  In order to be competitive, the Terps will need a similar freshman campaign out of one of these two freshman to the one Dan [...] Read More »

Here's a screenshot of what could be announced tomorrow. If true, the penalties are unprecedented.  It's hard to imagine but it now appears likely that there will be no football in State College in this year.  What's more, all current players will be allowed to transfer without penalty.  There will be no TV until 2015 and no football recruiting [...] Read More »

Get a good look at that, folks.  It could be the what you see when you walk into Byrd Stadium come September.  Nevermind that the product on this field is likely to compete 30% of its passes; we have new fancy artificial turf field. There is a fine line between being avant-garde and a laughingstock.  Personally, I don't think the football team i [...] Read More »

 Stefon Diggs, the 5th highest ranked football recruit in the nation is making his college choice public today at Looney's in College Park at 6pm this evening. All signs point to either Florida or Maryland as the choice.  Can you imagine, if he came to College Park and went with Florida.  That would be some kick in the balls, huh?  In fact, I'd eq [...] Read More »

Wes Brown committed to the Terps tonight coinciding with his appearance on ESPN in the Under Armour High School All-Star Football Game.    Every major recruiting service lists Brown as one of the best 20 running backs in the senior class.  It's a huge get for Randy Edsall and the best piece of news the football program has had in over a year. [...] Read More »

For Maryland fans, today's game should have been the most anticipated of the season.  A chance to knock off the most storied program in college football history.  Instead, Maryland has limped into this game in such a sorry state, that it's hard to imagine anything but a blowout. Maybe the Terps will surprise us, but it seems pretty obvious to al [...] Read More »
