Here we are, folks - on the edge of another basketball season.We all love the pigskin, we really do. But basketball is where it's at. There's no feeling like gathering together inside the Comcast Center, screaming your lungs out while watching the fast break across court end with a hellacious ...

Rising Stars in Terp Basketball

So it's been pretty hard to get out of the negatives when it comes to Men's Basketball at the University of Maryland. However, the team gave the fans some hope today in a 104-60 win over Northwood.Yes, OK, it was an exhibition against a crappy, crappy team. But still, the Terps operated well and ...

This Blog is a Lie

As many of my readers felt it necessary to point out, I'm a big, fat phony. This past Saturday, it did rain in College Park. A lot. I know. I was there. My clothes are sitting in the basement next to a dehumidifier and I'm praying they don't grow mold. So sue me. Or do something constructive and think of another name for this blog. The game itself was fairly good...

Dominant Defense Downs Demon Deacons

Unless you were hiding under a rock, you probably heard the Terps absolutely crushing No. 21 Wake Forest last Saturday, 26-0. Grinding offense, stifling defense, another upset victory... shocking, right? Well...

On the Frontlines: DeMatha v. Good Counsel

This Thursday, I attended the nationally televised high school football game between No. 10 DeMatha and No. 2 Good Counsel. I wrote this story for class: Last night's game between Washington-area powerhouses No. 10 DeMatha and No. 2 Our Lady of Good Counsel was sold out. The match was broadcast to a national audience on ESPN2. Recruiters from Penn State, Maryland and Syracuse...

Maryland nabs new 09 recruit

Maryland got their first 2009 commitment for basketball, assuming of course that Jin Soo Kim is considered eligible for this fall. James Padgett, a 6'7 power forward out of New Yawk, chose the Terps over West Virginia, Pitt, Tennessee, St. John's and Florida, so that's a nice pool to be picked from!

A True Test

Clemson came very, very close, but they just couldn't beat the Terps. You could see the frustration on the faces of Clemson fans as soon as Cullen Harper came up short on a QB sneak. I pitied them for a few brief moments before I realized that my team was going to win today. I can understand their frustration - Clemson probably should've won today. They had more offense...

Reality Check - Terps Going to Death Valley

Don't get me wrong, I love to celebrate wins. I think it's great that we're 3-1, and that's really the best we could've hoped for in the first four weeks of our schedule. I think it's great that we just put up 51 points on Eastern Michigan. I think it's great that every College Park resident gets 12 free toppings on their pizza at Papa John's. But...

Da'Rel Scott - The Best Back in the ACC

When the season started, more than a few questions were raised about how the Terps running game would go on without the tag team of Keon Lattimore and Lance Ball that basically carried the Maryland offense on their shoulders in 2007. Da'Rel Scott, a sophomore with blazing speed, had been a hero against Boston College the year before, but would he be able to do it with a full...

Terps Topple Golden Bears

So that's pretty crazy, right? One week ago, let us recall that we were rehashing the Terps latest disappointing letdown against MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE. And today we beat... a No. 23-ranked Cal? WHAAAAAAAAAA?!?!?!?! I don't know. Nobody knows. Not even the Schmuck. I'm not even going to pretend to understand how different this team looked today. I suppose you...

Middle Tennessee State? Ouch...

The people have spoken: The blog is back. And we're talking Terps. Unfortunately. For those of you that don't follow too closely, Maryland was embarrased Saturday night by the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Also for those of you who don't follow too closely, I don't blame you. Who wants to watch this team?

Holy Crap, Go See Dark Knight

This has absolutely nothing to do with sports, but if you get the chance, see this movie. "I try not to make ludicrous claims about movies. I don't think I generally buy into movie hype, especially those with the most hype of all: summer "blockbusters." "But if there's one movie that should be overblown this summer, without a doubt, it should be...

James Gist taken in the NBA Draft

I just have a few small wishes in this world, and several of them have to do with Maryland alumni making it at the professional level of their respective sports. This spring, I was denied this privilege when linebacker Erin Henderson, the defensive star on Maryland's football squad, went undrafted due to injury concerns. Last night, I was surprised to see this wish fulfilled...

Sports Blogging v. Sports Journalism

My take on Bissinger v. Leitch. I guess that I must be the last person weighing in on this issue, and I'm not carrying much weight to throw in. However, I feel like I'm one of the people caught in between the sides of this suddenly hot issue.

What Happened to Erin Henderson?

Erin Henderson was a top-rated outside linebacker by pretty much EVERYONE. - 3rd best OLB by ESPN - 8th best OLB by NFL Draft Countdown - 2nd best OLB by The Football Expert - 5th best OLB by About Football - 3rd best OLB by Walter Football - 4th best OLB by KFFL So why did Henderson not get drafted this weekend?
