    Thank you.

    You don't know what you're talking about. College Park IS a crummy TOWN, but the campus is one of the nicest in the B1G, as is the arena, which is NBA-esque.

    Maryland Honors McNair

    Listen, I say this with all due respect to you, and realizing I am an outsider on this board: you are speaking on this matter before you fully know what you are talking about. First and foremost, Jordan McNair died in June, weeks after he suffered evident heatstroke at a practice when the...

    Maryland punking Texas

    While the halt was due to lightning, it rained shortly afterwards, and like cats and dogs for close to half an hour. For the duration of the game, every time a player's shoe, a ball, or a body hit the turf, a huge splash of water flew up. For such a brief storm, it was fierce -- but the...

    Maryland punking Texas

    The game wasn't in College Park; it was at Fed Ex Field (Redskins) in Landover, about 15 miles southeast. Also, "rain delay" is a misnomer. The game was stopped due to lightning strikes in the immediate vicinity. It wasn't even raining when officials cleared the field and the stands. Then, the...

    From the Purdue site

    Rutgers fans, you should be proud of your team. They showed grit and determination, won those first two games, and dang near beat the nationally ranked 3 seed. Wish my own team would have showed HALF the determination yours did. 2018-19 should be a good year for Rutgers bball.

    1976 Documentry

    That was indeed a great season. I grew up in Piscataway and that Rutgers team was, of course, historic in its achievement. May you someday return to that level. I ended up attending and graduating from Maryland. I work in DC and, the other day, actually passed Eddie Jordan on the street...

    Politi Article : Final 3 Candidates

    Jimmy Patsos, Siena, would be a good choice, but haven't heard his name mentioned. Like Lonergan, is a product of the Gary Williams coaching tree. Lifetime record is just north of .500, but has totally turned around two programs. Rutgers needs a HC with experience doing that. Not everyone is...

    Randy Edsall Not Fired-Will Coach Against tOSU

    He will NOT "remain the head coach at Maryland". He will coach Saturday against Ohio State. Otherwise, he is toast (and thank God to that).

    Basketball should be our signature program in the B1G

    Indiana? Illinois? Most consider them (and they consider themselves) to be more basketball-oriented than they are football.

    Just saying...after we beat Kansas on September 26

    One cannot control what other teams do in the rest of their games; you schedule OOC opponents, usually, years in advance. Whatever their state of competitiveness at the time you schedule them, you may find that they are measurably better -- or worse -- when it's time to actually face them on...

    Maryland gets commitment from 5* Recruit Diamond Stone

    Cekovsky has shown flashes of future brilliance at various moments this past year, especially as part of a committee that handled Frank Kominsky when we beat Wisconsin. Like most European ballers, he can shoot decently away from the basket, but needs to improve his footwork and put in some time...
