I am not a big Virginia Tech fan. I am not a big Seth Greenberg fan. However when a team is 11-8 in conference play with a victory over Duke, it should be included in the big dance, I know if it was Maryland, I would be screaming. I wonder what the Commissioner will have to say.
Commisssioner Swofford seems only to be concerned about taking taking care of his beloved Carolina teams. I am making no excuses for the team’s record this season, but let me ask some questions
–Why is the ACC tournament almost always in Greensboro. Many talk about how Maryland isn’t showing up but for a Baltimorean or DC guy it’s about $1800 per person to go. For a Carolina native it’s barely a tank of gas and he can decide to go … Read More »
I absolutely am in shock.The NCAA and NIT have spoken –the Terrapins are not one of the top 100 schools in the nation in Men’s basketball in 2011? Here is a message from Gary:
The University of Maryland men’s basketball team will not play in the 2011 postseason after not receiving invitations to the NCAA Tournament or the National Invitation Tournament.

Seven different Terps scored to lead the No. 8 University of Maryland men’s lacrosse team to a … Read More »
No. 12 Syracuse tried its best to slow down No. 1 Maryland’s high-powered attack Saturday but the Terps were able to survive the stall and drop the Orange, 7-5. Maryland (7-0, 2-0 ACC) was held to its lowest scoring output in 2011 and was led by senior Tewaaraton nominee Sarah Mollison, who tallied a team-high two goals and two assists.Katie Schwarzmann, Karri Ellen Johnson, Kristy Black and Brandi Jones each added a goal and an assist … Read More »
Football’s loss may be boxing’s gain. With the NFL in labor limbo, Ravens safety Tommy Zbikowski returned to pro boxing Saturday and produced a first-round technical knockout over less-fit opponent Richard Bryant. The 25-year-old Zbikowski pounded a left hook to the 235-pound Bryant’s belly, and the big man lost his breath and slumped to the canvas. Bryant was so out of wind referee Russell Mora stopped the fight at the 1:45 mark of the first. Zbikowski was able to strike … Read More »
