My Thoughts On Greivis’ Comments

I just read through Greg’s remarks and all of the subsequent comments about Vaz and I have this to say:
Leave the kid alone!
If there were indeed any racist slurs hurled at GV as has been alleged; then I am indeed ashamed as we all should be. If true, than the University needs to do [...]

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 [...]

Halftime – Wow. What a stinker.

I have to say I’m shocked. Sure, the terp fan in me could see this coming, but I did not want to believe that the team would come out and play like a bunch of bums, thinking this was going to be a romp. They have looked listless in offense, very little creativity [...]

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 [...]

Irrelevance Continued

If you haven’t already seen it, Andy Katz came out with his always meaningless Top 25 for next season. Of course Maryland wasn’t on the list. I didn’t expect it to be. But, the thing with these lists that invariably come out as soon as the season ends is that they are based on historical [...]

Salt in the Wound from the Worldwide Leader

Thanks, ESPN. Maryland fans really need to be reminded that our program has sucked over the last five years. Not only did the ESPN write an article about how far Maryland and other programs have fallen, but it decided to feature Gary Williams on the front page this morning. Gary looked like [...]

How Did the Terps Beat Carolina?

If anyone else has been following the Tarheels blast through the East Region, you are probably wondering the same thing. Louisville is an excellent team. That Terrance Williams is a special player, but Louisville can’t do anything to slow Carolina.
Louisville threw a 2-3 zone at UNC after made buckets and UNC [...]

A (Not So) Quick Note on the Zone Defense

Since I write a blog about Maryland basketball, it is hard to get excited about events that do not include the Terps. Nevertheless, the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is the best sports weekend of the year and I enthusiastically gave the goings on their due attention.
I have a long personal history with [...]

Maryland’s Season Ends Predictably

Post Mortem
When the clock struck double zeros, it was another miserable ending in what was almost an uninterrupted string of miserable endings. It is really saying something to call this year’s Terps the most inconsistent squad ever to play for Gary Williams, but it is true.
(I say this and I remember the John [...]
