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 »

I have to remove the "They Can't Win" Thread off the top of the page; just for karma's sake.Today is my birthday. I can't picture a better present than what the Terps gave us in the first half. The running game has stayed true and Turner has been able to make them pay when Cal stacks the box. He isn't going down the field (except for that laser [...] Read More »

I don't mean the Terps can't win the game against Cal on Saturday. They might.I mean the Terps can't win in the media, and that's not a good sign for this program.First let me say I'm as frustrated as anyone in the Terps inconsistencies in the past 4 seasons. They have not earned the benefit of the doubt in any way, but the way some of the media [...] Read More »

Welcome to our new home! Clearly it is a work in progress, but our move from MVN came with little notice.Thanks to Hurricane Gustav, the LSU game has been moved from its time slot and guess who ESPN has decided to show instead? None other than the budding Terps - Blue Hens rivalry. Well, this certainly beats hovering over my laptop, watching the ga [...] Read More »

Today is Maryland's penultimate chance to impress the selection committee. Some probably think that this is an exercise in futility and there is nothing the Terps can do short of winning out to get in.I'm inclined to agree. The Terps just aren't good enough to compete with the likes of UNC. As we've seen all year; the team's flaws often get expo [...] Read More »

Make no mistake. The Terps are a long shot to make the NCAAs. However, a loss at Clemson on Tuesday, will not eliminate the Terps. Maryland is not expected to beat the #8 team in the RPI on the road. So, the Terps have no expectations and nothing to lose. Add that to the fact that this is the MD's only shot to gain a modicum of revenge against [...] Read More »

Well fans, here we go.Today, the Terps begin in earnest their quest to earn that elusive NCAA bid.  This season has delivered mixed results but the Terps have a chance to right the ship today and set themselves up for a run that could turn the season around.We are seeing signs that the team has rallied around Gary Williams and that is probably just [...] Read More »

I feel like this is the third or fourth "must win" game so far this year.  With each "must" win that turned into a loss; the Terps somehow have at least kept their hopes alive for an NCAA berth.Let's be honest; the Terps are on the outside looking in; and will need to play out of character to get themselves in the hunt.  Working in their favor are [...] Read More »
