Picking Up The Pieces From A Blowout

Tonight was an utter disaster. There really is no other way to say it. I can’t recall a Terps squad getting so thoroughly manhandled. When was last time Maryland lost by 27 points? Not only did the Terps get embarrassed by a local rival on national TV; but a blueprint for how [...]

Georgetown – Maryland Thread

I do not have much time to write anything as I will be traveling most of the day; but I can’t let a Georgetown-Maryland game pass without commenting on the importance of this regional contest.
The first MD-Georgetown game of recent history signaled the rebirth of the program.  Joe Smith unveiled himself to the world and [...]

A Football Wrap

Well, the regular season is over.
The Terps went 7-5.  A lot better than we all had to sit through from 1990-2001, however with the talent this team seemed to have, it’s just a disappointment.  They were a couple plays from being 5-7 and a couple weak outings from being 9-3.
So, how do we look at [...]

Terps BC Thread

I know it’s an anti-climactic way to end the football season, playing to not have to go to Boise for the holidays, especially two days after a big basketball win, but the Terps football squad looks to end the season on a good note today.
Will the good Terps show up? Will they go [...]

Maryland – Gonzaga Thread

Due to the start time; I will be forced to tape this game as well.  I’ll be back in the aftermath to give you my thoughts.  Until then; make good use of the thread below and go Terps!

Maryland Trounces #6 Michigan State, 80-62

The Terps took it to Michigan State.  Boy, did they ever.  Tonight’s victory was a season defining triumph. It was Gary Williams at his best.  No one gave the Terps a chance.  Most Soup readers thought that Maryland had a chance if everything fell our way.
I’d say when Dave Neal SCORES 17 POINTS that everything [...]

A Reasonable Michigan State Thread

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I don’t know about you, but tipoff will occur right about the time that my family is sitting down to dinner.  Needless to say, I will be taping the game (taping the old fashioned way as my parents have yet to embrace the DVR concept).
The purpose of this post is to create a [...]

Previewing Michigan State

I can’t start this without sharing this quote from MSU coach Tom Izzo today:
“Vazquez is like the ‘Magic Johnson’ of Maryland”
Now,  he meant it as to say Vaz does everything for the team, including being the leading rebounder, but it just made me chuckle to hear him say that!
I’m listening to Izzo’s press conference today (an [...]

O-line, Turner Horrid

You know, Ralph Friedgen is always complaining about lack of fan support for the football team. Well, if he expects to have good crowds, I would think he’d like to show up in the biggest game of the year.
The offensive line, one that is big and experienced should be ashamed of themselves. They [...]

Just When I Thought I Was Out; They Keep Pulling Me Back In!

I admit. I jumped the gun a little. Here’s the post (unedited) that I started writing with 10 minutes left to play. I’m still standing by most of my comments; but boy that Vasquez sure has a way of seizing the moment, eh? Shades of Drew Nicholas!
Overtime illustrated what confidence can do [...]
