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 »

Damn Central Time Zone.  These games creep up on me.  I almost missed tip-off.  I had to look up who the Terps were playing so suffice it to say that the excitement for the season has been ratcheted down as we head in to cupcake time. The Mount (had to look up their name) will not pose much of a threat.  However, our Terps have yet to defini [...] Read More »

The Terps head into to today's pivotal tilt with the Mountaineers a bit underhanded.  As has been widely reported; the Terps will be without their top two wideouts.  Messrs. Tyler and McCree have been suspended indefinitely. Will the offense click with the same precision?  It had better if the Terps are to beat the #18 team in the country.  A wi [...] Read More »

2-2 or 3-1?  That is the question. Mr. Smith Goes to Byrd Stadium       Image via Wikipedia The answer will determine if the rest of the Terps football season is even worth following.  Am I being dramatic?  Yes.  Is a 2-2 record that includes a home loss to Florida International University an unadulterated disaster?  Yes.  Can it happen?

Tonight the Terps can reach the promised land of 10 wins.  By no means is this the biggest hurdle left in their path; but it is a major one nonetheless.  Clemson is clearly capable of making life extremely difficult for our skill players and the Terps will not be taking them lightly.Of course, after Saturday's heroics; there's always the possibilit [...] Read More »

I apologize to folks who have been unable to get on the site for the last few hours.  GoDaddy clearly sucks as a web hosting platform.No matter.  The Terps are taking on a frisky Cavalier squad that could put a major dent in what has largely been a great ACC season thus far.  Maryland will need to forget about the Duke debacle and focus on what got [...] Read More »

Outside of the snow, the most popular discussion in College Park this weekend is about how this afternoon's contest against UNC is a "trap game"  Don't bet on it.  When your coach exhibits the kind of dedication we have seen from Gary Williams (as mentioned previously, he hasn't slept at his home since before the Florida State game); then you bette [...] Read More »

From here on out, every game the Terps play is the "biggest game of the season" and should be treated as such.  But in my view, tonight's game carries a little extra weight.  A road win at Clemson will prove to the country that Maryland is for real and not just a good team feasting on lesser opponents.Clemson's coach, Oliver Purnell has called the [...] Read More »

Crazy day at work...I'm leaving the office now and won't get to watch the game live.  I'll be on tape delay.  The Terps can't afford a slip up.  We need to keep the momentum going and so we can head into the road trip with momentum.Enjoy the game. [...] Read More »
