For better or worse, Jordan Steffy was named the Terps starting QB on Monday morning.  Apparently all three QB's were close and the Fridge said he expects all three to play at some point, but apparently he feels the most comfortable with Steffy at the helm. Here is an excerpt from the Washington ......

Recently, I am sure you have heard the news about foreign multi-nationals coming in and buying up US assets. First it was an Abu Dhabi conglomerate buying the Chrysler Building. Then, it was the venerable and iconic Anheuser Busch being sold to a Belgian Company for $52 Million. As comedian L......

The Fridge says he'll have a starter named this weekend, but after hearing it was a two man race all spring and summer long, it seems Josh Portis has had one hell of a last two weeks.  It's now been reported that it is a 3 man race for the starting QB job with all [...]...

Before I get going, a couple of housekeeping notes…. My lack of production this summer is inexcusable. Not that you care, but I'm chalking up hideous performance to the fact that my company is going through a major transition (we are combining with our parent company), and this basketball offse......

Billy Packer is out as lead analyst at CBS Sports.  Much of the college basketball world is cheering this news.  I have to admit Packer mostly annoyed the crap out of me.  However, I will always give him credit for calling out the officials in the 2001 Final Four for blatantly favoring Duke. I re......

First, I'd like to thank DBR for all of the Terps news updates.  It's tough with Jeremy and I not being local to keep up with some of the goings on in College Park, so thanks to him and everyone else for giving us the latest information!  It's you guys that make this site so [...]...

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 [...]...

No matter what, it's always nice when a player gets drafted. Despite our struggles and despite James Gist's struggles, he is currently an NBA player.  That is good for the program. Will he be an NBA player in November?  We'll see.  But Gist, who was drafted by San Antonio in the second round, has......

So, the message boards are aflutter that Gilchrist is playing both sides of the coin and may return to Maryland if he isn't allowed to play during the Fall 2008 semester.

A little football news: I'm not sure if anyone caught this little nugget; but it appears that the Maryland vs. California non-conference game on September 13th is scheduled to start at 12pm ET.  This is good news for Terp fans as that represents a 9AM start time for the Bears who will hopefully b......
