Terps Ranked #26 in Latest AP Poll

Can you believe that?  Just three weeks after getting embarrassed by Middle Tennessee State; the Terps have risen to elite status.  Sure, they are not in the Top 25 yet, but the writing is on the wall.  Not only that, but the Terps seem to be playing their best football in years.  I guess that [...]

Terps Adjust, Beat Clemson!!!!

Wow.
I’m nearly speechless. For anyone who watched this team play in the first half, we had no business to be on the same field as Clemson. They ran it down our throats all day long in the first half. It was men against boys. The offense shot itself in the foot [...]

Can the Terps Defy Death (Valley)?

Winning a football game in Death Valley is a rare occurance for Clemson opponents. Few venues in the ACC boast a larger capacity than the 81,473 seats in Memorial Stadium. The Terps have posted victories in Death Valley only three times since 1985- roughly 27% of the time.
The odds are against the [...]

Duke Football Revisited

This is a story I first wrote about over the summer, but I found this on YouTube; and it I just had to share it.
I’ll recap for you: The University of Louisville sued Duke University for backing out of its obligation to travel to Louisville for a football game. In the clip, Duke’s lawyer [...]

Eastern Michigan Preview and Game Thread

Now, this is exciting.  The Terps are playing a “Directional” Michigan University.  Wow.  Hold on to your hats. (Note: I get this same feeling of excitement every time I drive through Delaware).  Maryland’s goal tomorrow should be to prevent the classic Maryland letdown.
Given that this team has demonstrated an epic ability to underachieve; the Fridge [...]

Best. Hit. Ever.

We all saw it live. It is simulataneously gross and engrossing. It begs the question, “who has mint chocolate chip ice cream for breakfast, anyway?”
Regardless, it is forever immortalized in the You Tube pantheon. The Balto Sun’s Rick Maese even speculates that this hit could prove to be the spark that electrifies [...]

A Much More Enjoyable Week

It’s been a couple days and Terpland is still smiling.
As I said all weekend, it was a much better win this week than it was a horrible loss last week.  By that I mean that everyone saw the Terps beat Cal.  It was on ESPN, it was on the bottom line scoreboard all throughout the day, [...]

Terps v. Cal (Almost) Halftime Thread

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 [...]

They Can’t Win (& Cal Game Thread)

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 [...]

Terps Lose the Battle of Murfreesboro

Judging from the box score, the game was not all that dissimilar from a Civil War era slaughter.
The Terps came into the game against MTSU thinking it was a trap game. A trap game it was. Chris Turner played like absolute ass and the play calling was atrocious. Here’s a news flash [...]
