With the depletion of our reciving corps, the Ravens could be forced back into a run first offense.

His goal in the 69th minute gave the United States a 1-0 victory over Panama and the CONCACAF Gold Cup title. It is the fifth Gold Cup title for the Americans, but their first since 2007. It also is the first international title as a coach for Jurgen Klinsmann, who won the 1990 … Read More »

The Maryland men’s basketball team went out to Las Vegas and dipped into the middle school pool this week, offering a scholarship to rising ninth-grader Tomas Murphy at the Adidas Super 64 tournament during the summer’s final evaluation period.

Certainly it was the Maryland connection in control for Denver–Lee Zink, Drew Snider and most of all Jeremy Sieverts (4 goals on 4 shots). Jesse Bernhardt gets better every week on defense and ground balls.
