The University of Maryland Football team landed a huge fish when Stephon Diggs committed to the Terps today.  Diggs represents the first 5 Star Recruit the Terps have landed since 2007 (Bruce Campbell).  The Terps recruiting class, depending on the source was ranked 6th or 7th in the ACC and in the mid 40′s nationally.  [...]

Twitter is a great thing, but sometimes it can be maddening.  If you want to hear a joke or witty observation from a friend or celebrity, it works just fine.  If you want it to be a source of news, well then you are taking some risk.  Just like yesterday when word leaked that Danny [...]

Here are the list of officially signed Terps from the UMTerps website.  It looks like there are a few stragglers out there.  Let’s just hope everyone who committed signs.   And keep your fingers crossed maybe we can get a surprise signing as well.  For those who made it official, welcome aboard, and we look forward [...]

It is hard to be too optimistic after the disaster that was the 2011 Maryland Football season.  Enter DC Recruiting specialist Mike Locksley, and maybe, just maybe there is a sliver of hope us Maryland fans could be pleasantly surprised.  I guess the worst case scenario is that the 23 players who “committed” actually sign [...]

First of all, I would like to apologize for not covering the Wake Forest game, we were sort of in a unique position last week as Chris was without a computer and I am living out of a suitcase up in Philadelphia while my son gets hospitalized for some treatments.  So the Wake game sort of [...]

With basketball season about to go full bore with the start of the ACC schedule this weekend, there is some good news regarding the football team to announce.  Yeah, hard to believe the words “good news” and “Maryland Football” can be used in the same sentence, but last night on the Under Armour All-American game, [...]

Boy, if I were good at math, this would probably be a lot of fun figuring out who is left and who is out.  But glancing at the spreadsheet just gives me a headache.  Here is what I do know, the maximum score that Forrest, LeAnne, Alex, and Laura can get is less than what [...]

Before I get into this, I had to post it prior to tonight’s Boise State game, yet it will go up after the Boise State-ASU game, so it isn’t 100% updated, but it’s pretty close… As we anxiously await the Maryland Radford basketball game tomorrow night, I thought I would hold everyone over with a [...]
