NFL Offseason Update

Now that the S.S. Terrapin has been sunk, the college basketball season is officially over for me. It was a hell of a ride. No regrets from me. The future looks bright, but now it's time to get back to my real love. Football. There has been a lot going on this offseason. The Washington Redskins are... Sign in to see full entry.

O.J.'ville

Well gang, the S.S. Terrapin has advanced to the round of 32. O.J.'ville. If we can avoid getting our heads handed to us by Syracuse, we may be able to do some damage. It's funny, but I was never worried about UTEP. Even when they came back and took the lead, I knew that Maryland would win. I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

65 Teams is Too Many

A couple of things before I get to the NCAA tournament. First off, if the Philadelphia 76'ers were smart, they would trade Allen Iverson as soon as possible. They will never win a title with him. I feel like no team will win a title with Iverson on it. Have felt that way since I watched him throw... Sign in to see full entry.

Conference Tournaments Past

It's conference tournament week in college basketball and, where I live, that means that all eyes will be on North Carolina and New York city for the ACC and Big East clashes. Of course the conference tournaments don't mean as much s they used to. Most of the teams are playing for a bigger prize,... Sign in to see full entry.

Maryland My Maryland

Went to the Maryland-Virginia game last night. I figured if the S.S. Terrapin was going to go down, then I had to be there and sink with it. Besides, I had never been to Comcast Center before, so I had to make the trip. It's a nice place, but too corporate for me. I grew up with Cole Field House so... Sign in to see full entry.

Those damn Maryland Terrapins are gonna be the death of me. The S.S. Terrapin survives tournament extinction with a 70-69 victory over much hated N.C. State. And believe me, they tried to give it away. John Gilchrist doesn't start, coaches decision, then comes in and scores 21. Jamar Smith decided... Sign in to see full entry.

Got A Question For You

A coworker and I have been arguing about who a person can choose to root for as their favorite team. He was born in Philadelphia and, as a military brat, moved from place to place before settling a few years ago here in Maryland. He is a Philly man all of the way. Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and...

Where do I start? For the last week of February, there are actually a few things to talk about. I'm in a good mood today, considering that my Terrapins actually won a game. But I am mad at the students for not coming out in full force to support the team when it desperately needs it. I've always... Sign in to see full entry.

This Dream Job of ESPN's is the last straw. Just what we need. Another shameless promotion by the worldwide leader in sports in which one person will be picked out of twelve to be the newest Sportscenter anchor. I'm sick and tired of the whole thing and all that I've watched are the commercials. If... Sign in to see full entry.
