Miami – Maryland

Tonight is a special night for Turtle Soup as I have temporarily reunited with Jeremy for our annual college reunion game.
Yes, Jeremy and and I will be present at the Comcast Center to witness the goings on.
For better or worse, we are here to see the Terp Circus. Will the madness continue or can [...]

Beginning of the End?

First I’d like to offer my condolences to Jeremy on the loss of his friend. 
It’s not easy to change subjects after something like that, but here we go.
Today is not a good day to be a Terps fan.  As you sit down to watch Duke take on Wake Forest, all you need to do is [...]

My Friend Jon

Today is a great day to be a Terp blogger.  Fireworks between the adminstration and Gary Williams.  A team on the court that can’t seem to win.  Frustration everywhere.  This is good for the blogging business.  There is lots to digest, disseminate and discuss.
Unfortunately, I don’t feel like talking today.  You see, my close friend, [...]

Bounce Back?… BC Thread

After 3 days of reflection, embarrassment, calls for Gary Williams’ head, and analysis of the current players, the Terps return to the court tonight in another must win game. 
I believe we’ll find out in the first 5 minutes whether this team has what it takes to rebound from the crushing loss on Saturday.  However, it’ll [...]

A Reckoning

Moments like these beg the question:  is it better to be a fan or should we all find another hobby?
Maryland has never beaten an ACC opponent the way Duke trounced the Terps today.
41 point loss.  The Terps only scored 44 points.
Herm Edwards was ridiculed for telling the Chiefs they “could build on this!” after winning [...]

Gameday Thread: Maryland v. Duke

Maryland enters the first installment of its biannual dance with Duke at a crossroads.  At 13-5, the Terps desperately need a signature win to get back into serious contention for an NCAA berth.
Terp Nation is uneasy.  Clearly undermanned upfront, the Terps have played valiantly, yet they appear to be fatally flawed in a distinct way: [...]

A Must Win: Virginia-Terps Thread

It’s clearly a must win game.  It’s most definitely a must win game.
The Terps can get some of that confidence back with a victory tonight at home.   With a win, I think the Terps can get themselves to 4-4 in the conference at the midway point.  That will give them a chance.  A loss tonight [...]

Another Heartbreaker

Sorry that we did not have a thread for this game folks.  I was unable to get to a computer, but did watch the game.
I don’t know exactly what to say.  I’ll try and do a better job later, but my initial thoughts are this:
There are 2 ways to look at the Terps right now.
1).  [...]

12 Minutes That Ruined The Season

I don’t know how they did it, but they found a way to demoralize the fanbase just a little bit more than we all thought possible.
That was a stomach punch game if ever there was one.
What can Gary and crew possibly do for an encore? Trot out a fan at halftime and publicly disembowel [...]

Maryland – Miami Thread

Maryland needs to leave the state of Florida with a split at minimum.  What better way to get the two game road trip started than with a win tonight?
It will be tough, but the Terps are capable of winning.  This is a big opportunity for the Terps.  I will be watching intently.
