Is Ralph Still A Good Coach?

It begs the question.
Anyone looking at this team from afar can see that they have beaten two quality teams in Cal and Clemson, yet lost to two horrible teams in MIddle Tennessee and Virginia. They made those bad teams look great in doing so. It’s hard to explain how a team can ride [...]

Fading Glory Goes Mainstream

Given the disastrous offseason, it was only a matter of time before ESPN wrote the obligatory “The Terps are falling apart” piece. And, here it is.
There is nothing new here. It’s all things that have been said over and over again on this site. The article even salted the wounds of the Terp faithful by [...]

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 [...]

Bob Lipper – A-Hole Extraordinaire

Soupers–
There is nothing like a tirade from an ignorant Virginian to rouse me out of hibernation. Bob Lipper, who is apparently a professional sports journalist, wrote a grimy piece of yellow journalism for the Richmond Times-Dispatch about the Tyree Evans affair.
In his “article”, he trashes Gary Williams and the program that he built at Maryland. [...]

Why Maryland Should Be Kicking Itself….Or

….how I put the chemistry problems of twelve 18-22 year old boys and their coach into perspective.
Before I get to the question I posed in the title of the post; I am going to attempt to explain Maryland’s season through a complicated metaphor. That’s right. I’m going to compare the University of Maryland’s Men’s Basketball [...]

This Team is a Disgrace

I’m embarassed for the University. As it turned out, the beginning of the season was not the low point that we thought it was. Tonight is. This team has pouted it’s way through the last 3 weeks of this season, and frankly, I’m disgusted. How do 12 guys fall apart like this?
There [...]

This Just In: Terps Stink. Season All But Over

…and scene. Maryland’s basketball season more or less ended at 9:30 ET this evening.
Here are some postscripts for the recently departed:
Thanks for coming James Gist. I really appreciated your off again, on again performances of the last four years. I’ve learned from watching you that being a supremely gifted athlete is not [...]

Season Over

There is no coming back from this.
Welcome to the bottom.
I have never seen a bunch of players so afraid to lose in my life. They were literally shaking in the last 5 minutes of the game. I don’t know what more I can say other than they had a ton of wide open [...]

Maryland Disgraces Itself

Maryland blew two separate double-digit leads tonight.
Eric Hayes and James Gist continued their terrible play.
Braxton Dupree is absolutely horrible.
Once Virginia Tech was able to neutralize Vasquez’s dribble penetration, Maryland’s offense disintegrated.
Maryland now has two losses to Virginia Tech and they should have two wins.
The Terps have lost themselves. They have three days to find [...]

MD Playing Atrocious Perimeter Defense

That is why we are losing at the half. They need to get their collective heads out of their collective asses. FSU is having shooting practice out there. Get a hand in their faces!
Why is Jason McAlpin playing? Is half the team sick with the flu. There is something going [...]
