This poor horse who only won the Derby and got parked out of a victory in the Preakness can’t find a stable jockey. My suggestion: Edgar Prado for once and the future, There is no way I would let Borel back on this horse after he deserted him in the Preakness. Remember his sire was Birdstone, a Belmont winner. The filly will duck the Bird and not race in the Belmont.
I am only doing this because everyone is asking me about him. According to zagsblog.com, Lance just had a great weeekend winning 2 games for his club team, scoring 45 points in the process. No college decision has been made yet, though speculation is running towards Arizona
When the inadvertent whistle blew, eliminating a winning goal against #1 UVA, Maryland’s season was dealt a huge blow. Confidence wise, a win at that game could have reversed the entire season. From that point on, it just seemed like the offense went into a funk. The Notre Dame victory was certainly the highlight of the season.
Can you imagine at one point Virginia led Johns Hopkins 17-5. Hopkins defense was non existent as Glading, Steele Stanwyk, and Shamel Bratton pummeled Hopkins goalie Mike Gvozden. Duke won 12-11 and will now play Syracuse on Saturday. Virginia will play Cornell. Look for UVA and Syracuse to advance with Virginia exacting revenge on Cuse in the final and winning the Championship.
While on the subject of Carmelo, though he was not a Terp, I have always admired how he has given back to his community. Playgrounds have been supplied with equipment all over Baltimore. And now Carmelo has produced a self portrait movie about one of boxing’s most controversial figures ever, Mike Tyson. The film told in Tyson’s words, takes you all the way back to his roots in Brooklyn. Tyson blames all of his trouble on himself though there is … Read More »
After going 4 for 4 in my Conference Semi Final Predictions it is now time for the 2 Conf. Finals analysis.
Eastern Cleveland over Orlando in 5 games Besides LeBron, the Cavs are just too deep for Dwight, Rashard, and Hedo, the Cavs will come off the bench with Ben Wallace and ex Maryland #1 draft pick, Joe Smith. Orlando will not have all the open looks they had in the Celtic series.

The pupil defeated the teacher today as Cathy Reese defeated one of her mentors, the legendary Gary Gait, and will enter her first final four as a coach next weekend at Johnny Unitas Stadium on the Towson University Campus. I remember back to last year when a great Maryland team was upset in the quarterfinals and missed the final four at Towson. Cathy was upset having to watch rather then be in the 2 semifinal matchups. Well her response was … Read More »
As soon as I heard Syracuse goalie Galloway was ill and the backup goalie was replacing him, I sensed the Terps were in trouble. Why? Sometimes when a kid is thrown into a brutal situation he either rises to the occasion or his team gets so pumped up to save the unknwon.
To me the first few minutes were crucial, Maryland’s failure to score on their early possessions was their undoing. The Terp’s needed to be on top of this … Read More »
The Rockets have put up a valiant fight without Yao Ming but this is the Forum and Kobe is Kobe. This one will be over by the 3rd period. Lakers 110 Houston 95.
On the other hand expect Boston and Orlando to claw and battle to the wire. Can Pierce and Ray Allen continue to nail tough shot after tough shot? I say not today Dwight Howard gets another 20-20 effort, Orlando 92 Boston 89.
Before I get into my analysis for the game today listen ot an excellent preview of the game on CBS radio syracusemarylandpreview Why I believe the Terps will be victorious today.
In the past 3 NCAA playoff games the Dave Cottle has gotten his guys off to a fast start. Maryland will come out on all cylinders , get the lead and take Cuse out of its comfort zone.
