Terps Escape Against Wake, 74-70

Why is it that I feel the same after tonight’s win as I did after the first Wake game? If you’ll remember, the Terps and Deacons played a turnover and foul filled contest that left fans of both teams demoralized. If you go back to my post (entitled “When Winning Feels Like Losing”) [...]

Maryland – Wake Thread

Welcome to the postseason, ladies and gentlemen.
There is no room for error, the Terps need to start playing their best ball of the season tonight. For you out of towners, it appears that the game will be broadcast on channelsufing.net.
Enjoy the game wherever you are and if the tide is turning against us, try [...]

Why I am a Terp Fan

I cannot recall ever having more difficulty writing a column about the Terps. A natural pessimist, I am feeling particularly pessimistic. These last two defeats have left me snake bitten.
However, our Terps are not in unchartered territory. Over the years, we have seen Maryland succeed against amazing odds. We have also seen [...]

Relevance

First of all, nobody is ever banned from this site. We want all Terp fans to have their say. I’m just saying, and I appreciate all those who backed me up, that we don’t want to hear how proud you are to be Terp fan a week/month/year after you say you are quitting [...]

Good Terps vs. Bad Terps

Today, the Terps will be fighting a battle against themselves. At stake is the entire 2007-08 season. That’s it. Everything else is verbal masterbation.
For my own health and sanity, I have avoided writing about, discussing, or dissecting Wednesday night’s loss. I am afraid that Mr. Hyde (aka Bad Terps) has re-emerged. [...]

Strengths & Weaknesses

Okay, now that we’ve had nearly 24 hours to vent, analyze, etc., I was asked to write a strengths and weaknesses column for Roster Magazine. First, though, it’s been interesting reading the comments on Wednesday night’s game. There was a lot of blame and not too much praise going on. “Vazquez and [...]

Maryland Disgraces Itself

Maryland blew two separate double-digit leads tonight.
Eric Hayes and James Gist continued their terrible play.
Braxton Dupree is absolutely horrible.
Once Virginia Tech was able to neutralize Vasquez’s dribble penetration, Maryland’s offense disintegrated.
Maryland now has two losses to Virginia Tech and they should have two wins.
The Terps have lost themselves. They have three days to find [...]

Gameday Thread – Terps vs. Va Tech

I think it is safe to say that I am excited about our Terps. While running on the treadmill last night, I was thinking about how well they have been playing and the opportunity that they have created for themselves. Before I knew it, I was clocking seven minute miles. I’m pumped [...]

Yeah, that’s right. I went with an eight seed spread for the Terps Tournament destination. With a total [...]

I’m Getting Nervous

Like most Terp fans these days, I regularly check Joe Lunardi’s “Bracketology” on ESPN as well as the “Bubble Watch” feature. According to both, the Terps seem to be in good shape, but I am becoming increasingly uneasy.
The Terps remaining schedule suddenly is filled with frisky teams. Wake upended Duke last night at [...]
