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 »

After the Terps began the 09-10 season with some disappointing losses in Maui; we all re-calibrated our expectations downward. The Terps were a top 25 in November, but as that quickly faded, selection for the NCAA Tournament became the goal. Because of the lackluster non-conference performance; just about anyone with any authority agreed that 10 AC [...] Read More »

The Wolfpack are riding high after soundly defeating the Duke Blue Devils on Wednesday.  Now they must take to the road and try to beat a Maryland team that seems to have found its confidence.As Terp fans we rarely look at things from the other teams perspective.  If we were State fans, we'd be terrified of a "letdown" after their huge Duke victory [...] Read More »

This afternoon's contest is simple for Maryland.  The ACC is wide open.  There are plenty of winnable road games on the slate and the Terps need to take their share.  One slipped away on Tuesday and the Terps can't afford a repeat performance.Greivis Vasquez needs to trust his teammates more.  He selfishly cost Maryland the game against Wake.  I ca [...] Read More »

The Terps travel to the venue for the ACC Championship.  I suppose the coaches want the team to be familiar with the arena and its environs.  After the first half of the season, it is clear that ACC Tournament will be important if the Terps hope to turn their season around.It shouldn't be this way.  It just shouldn't.  No one is to blame and everyo [...] Read More »

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you are playing a directional Kentucky University that doesn't have "Western" in front of it; the game should be a cakewalk.  Despite playing Pitt (who lost to Indiana this week) relatively close, I don't expect the Colonels to challenge the Terps this evening.That's fine with me because the Terps have [...] Read More »

Image via Wikipedia The New Hampshire Wildcats visit College Park tonight for Maryland's final tune-up before shipping out to Maui.  NH finished 8-8 in the America East last year and lost in the semifinals of their conference tournament.   Despite being a program on the rise, the Wildcats have no chance of competing tonight.I'm expecting a result [...] Read More »

Clemson comes to town today and frankly, I'm not excited.  In fact, it could be a blood letting.  Maryland is in complete disarray and reeling from losses to schools with next no football pedigree.  It is not exactly the best time to host perennial power, Clemson.The loss last week to Rutgers officially lowered the floor for the season. There is no [...] Read More »

Maryland squares off today against what is arguably the 4th best college football team in the state of Tennessee.  The game will be close.  The Terps have not demonstrated that they are a class of above the likes of MTSU.By my count, we have one player on the squad who has shown true quality on the field- Da'Rel Scott.  Freiden and Franklin would b [...] Read More »

Before I get into my brief pre-game analysis; I need to tell you a quick story.\~ At around noon today, I was scheduled to be a guest on Terrapin Sports Network's Pregame Radio Show (that's 105.7 in Baltimore and 106.7 in DC).\~ I was going to talk about Turtle Soup and the general state of the Terp Blogosphere.\par\parWell, I just got a call from [...] Read More »
