The New Gary

Before getting into this, let me say once again that I love Gary Williams.  He is the best coach in the history of our program and is a Hall of Famer.  He is who he is and will always be more comfortable coaching character guys than guys who are using the school as a stepping [...]

Jordan Williams Commits to Maryland

As has been widely reported; Jordan Williams verbally committed to Gary Williams today. It was also reported that Gary Williams had no idea what Jordan was committing to; as it had been that long since Gary had actually recruited anyone. OK, I made that up. I couldn’t resist.
Seriously, this is a huge [...]

Garyland on Life Support?

This has been the hardest post I’ve ever had to write. For anyone who has read my thoughts over the past years, I have always been a Gary Williams apologist. I trusted in the coach that brought Maryland basketball back from the brink and gave us our National Championship. I loved the guy who was [...]

If Not Gary, Then Who?

I’ve been the biggest Gary apologist and definitely believe he should be given two more years to get us back to respectability, but there is a lot of blame to be passed around and a lot of it has to be on Gary.
Now, after reading what a lot of you are saying about Gary ‘losing [...]

Terrence Jennings Commits to Terps

Is there anything more beautiful than seeing a 6′10″ 225lb athletic shot-blocker commit to your alma-mater? 2008 will see the dawning of the Terrence Jennings era at Maryland. Currently, he is the 17th-rated prospect in the nation. Lord have mercy. I guess old G-Will hit the recruiting trail this summer. [...]

The Terps of Dangerfield

Maryland’s 20 point win yesterday felt more like surgery than a game. NC State could not compete. Everything seemed like a methodical march to inevitability. Jones and Strawberry were unstoppable. Forcing their will on to their opponents. Yet, there were the freshman. Cool and focused decision makers. Dishing out dimes as needed and not turning [...]

Hail Gary! Hail the Seniors

What a game! Can you believe they pulled that one out? The most crucial sequence of the game came when Mike Jones turned the ball over, and the Tarheels were heading for an uncontested layup. The layup was missed, and Jones promptly drained a three cutting the lead to seven. That was a five point [...]

Gary’s Best

In preparation for the biggest game of the year, it’s a good time to look back at some of the greatest wins of Gary Williams’ tenure at Maryland. Hopefully, this will get you pumped for the Carolina game.
In reverse order:

#5 January 31st, 2002. Maryland 91 – Virginia 87
Also known as Drew Nicholas game #2. Let [...]

UVa Post Mortem

Wow. Thank you for all the comments. I was too exasperated to write anything last night, but the game spoke for itself.
I think part of the reason why we have passed the 50 comment mark less than 24 hours after the game is that by and large, the entire state is mystified by [...]

Carmelo, Gay, and Durant

Former Maryland high school standout, Kevin Durant had 37 points and 23 rebounds tonight for the University of TEXAS!
Gary Williams has done a tremendous job building a program without getting guys like that.  It truly is amazing.  However,  wouldn’t it be nice if just once, a blue-chipper came to College Park?
I’m not so cynical that [...]
