Michigan State Spartan, Korie Lucious, has been charged with DUI.  I will never forget how this kid plunged a dagger into my heart 4 1/2 months ago.  There is a part of me that will always despise this kid for beating the Terps, but I would never wish him ill.  I hope this is nothing more than a youthful indiscretion and not a larger problem.

My guess is that as time goes on, Lucious will become a Jeffrey Maier type.  A name that is more or less forgotten by the victorious fan base, but reviled by the vanquished fans.  Only time will tell.

Football season gets underway this week so be a lookout for a season preview.

It was my first time at one of these things, so it was a pretty cool experience. Ralph had his typical press conference, but it lasted for a good half hour this time around, then they brought every single non-freshman player out for an interview session that lasted an hour. I was able to talk [...]

Sup Soupers. Just wanted to let you all know I’ll be at Terps media day all day today from noon (the Friedgen press conference) to 6:30 (the end of the first practice). I’ll be tweeting @ethanrothstein if you guys want to follow along, despite the collective mild disinterest in football. I’ll writeup some highlights later [...]

As AAU season keeps our optimism glands working at full capacity (Bino Ranson better earn his paycheck, Nick Faust-style) for basketball, our subconscious football thoughts are keeping our pessimism glands occupied. Also, we have glands for everything.
As promised, I’m going to do a list of all the relevant non-stars as the third part of this [...]

Eric updated his Facebook page today and told the world that he would be headed to Spain.  I couldn’t be happier for the kid.  He’s going to one of the better professional leagues in Europe.  It’s a league that has birthed a few NBA stars: Pau, Rudy Fernandez, and currently, the world’s best point guard [...]

Now that Debbie Yow has gone; all of that unspoken animosity has apparently bubbled to the surface.  Apparently, Gary Williams can’t contain his excitement that Yow has left.  Jeff Goodman on FoxSports.com reports that “Yow’s departure has added 5-years to Williams’ career”.
Yeesh.  I knew it was bad; but I didn’t know it was THAT bad.  [...]

After the relentless optimism of Part One, the indefinitely long series returns with an analysis of the incoming recruits. I’ll only break down the recruits that have chances of playing this year. Guys like Tyrek Cheeseboro, Matt Robinson or Ian Evans aren’t going to see any love because their shirts are so red they’re being [...]

There is not much to add other than a hearty congratulations to the reigning ACC Player of the Year, Greivis Vasquez.  Memphis fans (do they exist?) will grow to love the General just as we have.
My passion for the NBA has waned over the years, but I will always root for Greivis. Always.

Since the summer is pretty much the worst time ever to be a college sports fan (though if you’re a soccer fan, the past few weeks have been pretty sweet), it’s time to start looking ahead to the fall, and of course, football season.
I would discuss last year as a point of reference for this [...]

It’s good to be back Soupers. After missing the second half of last semester due to academic reasons that can’t be disclosed due to my status as an amateur, then traveling through Europe for a month, I have returned. I’ll be around for the foreseeable future, entering my final year at Maryland.
I’ll pick up where [...]
