    OT: 2026 NJ HS Football Offseason…

    I'm sure you're right in general. However, I must tip my cap to Washington Township (where I live when not in Atlantic City) and Kingsway High Schools, which are lucky enough to have solid feeder programs in most sports and manage to succeed while being homegrown at the same time. I'm sure...

    No. 17/18 Men’s Lacrosse Hosted Johns Hopkins Sunday

    [Sorry, this was a reply to the Schaller question] I haven't been on top of it. However, although nobody seems to want to confirm "ACL" its widely acknowledged that he's out for the season. Spanos will likely be back in the next few weeks, from what I could gather...

    No. 17/18 Men’s Lacrosse Hosted Johns Hopkins Sunday

    Good luck tomorrow, Rutgers. I haven't been around much lately, but it isn't because of Maryland's lackluster season. If that were the case, I'd have disappeared in October, ha ha. I've been on here once in a while following along. I was actually down in Bowie, Maryland, for the past month...

    Pike Really Has to Go...

    Maryland coach said this about Coach Pikiell after yesterday's game: "From a tactical standpoint, I am not the coach that he is. I have great respect for who he is, personally and professionally." He's not helping your cause (in this thread), ha ha...

    Rutgers is 5-0…

    Sort of on topic, one I'm not used to caring about: why do the dreg teams care about not having any byes in the league tournament? They're not good enough to go anywhere anyway. At least they might have a shot at one more win...

    USC dismisses player......

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding the timeline. Was he dismissed for multiple violations of team rules, but only (minutes) after he was out for the season anyway?

    OT: RIP Neil Sedaka

    I've loved that guy ever since I heard an interview with him on NPR about 20 years ago. He was a tough son-of-a-gun from Brooklyn. Ha ha, my first Neil Sedaka experience was hearing "Laughter in the Rain." I had no idea who he was at the time (I was a dumb kid who had recently discovered that...

    28/27-2/28 non-Rutgers Men's lacrosse scores

    Holy moly. He was so dominant against the Terrapins that I thought he was finally living up to the hype...

    2/23 Polls

    With regard to the Terps: I'm butchering the idiom, but it seems the product on the field is less than the sum of its parts so far. Hopefully Coach Tillman gets its fixed. Definitely the worst year of Maryland athletics in my memory...

    Basketball Rutgers blows 20-point lead, barely hangs on at Maryland

    Nice game, Rutgers! You guys are down on Coach Pikiell, but he hung in there when it got tough on the road, and, more importantly, got his players to do the same...

    2/23 Polls

    Maryland plays a pretty good schedule, but dang, I think Notre Dame plays an even tougher one. And they scored 29 goals a couple of weeks ago. This will be a challenge for the Terrapins. Hats off to Notre Dame for this: Notre Dame Lax Schedule

    College Football Report coach's hot seat temperatures

    It's definitely accurate with regard to Maryland. Many hardcore boosters have been calling for a change since the 2024 dip. It's pretty much understood within the fanbase that there has to be a major uptick this season, or else. ETA: Many were surprised that the change didn't happen in...

    OT: Weekend snowstorm - historic blizzzard

    I'm disappointed the the official Atlantic City accumulation was only 14". I was sure it was closer to two feet. I shoveled my place and neighbors on both sides before coming back to dig out up in Washington Township, so I guess it felt like more than that. How did my friend Newell get 2...
