It was great to cover a game for Maryland last night after the week of Coaching conjecture. The Men’s bball team responded with a crushing defeat of the Highlanders from New Jersey. Maryland was coming off a 10 day break after it’s opening ACC loss to BC. Gary place Pe”shon in the starting lineup giving Cliff Tucker a seat on the bench for but a few minutes.

This is right from Espn.com—
“Leach has already had discussions with potential members of a Maryland coaching staff and has the strong support of Under Armour, the Baltimore-based athletic apparel company run by a former Maryland player, sources told ESPN’s Joe Schad. Maryland considered hiring Leach after last season but it would have cost too much to terminate the contracts of Friedgen and former coach-in-waiting Franklin and hire Leach, a source told Schad. Leach and Maryland were discussing a deal last … Read More »
At least Gino was not his usual obnoxious self tonight at the post game presser. What amazes me about this is the margin of victory UConn usually enjoys. Gino must be a helluva coach. Maya Moore scored 41 tonight. Let’s do a home and home with them, Brenda.
Mike Leach—clearly the most popular choice among the fans at this point. His ability to put points on the board and being able to coach his QBs way up catches your eye immediately. His success in the Big 12 speaks for itself. I do believe his hire would put the fans into the seats at Byrd. However we are receiving mixed signals about him from Kevin Anderson: “Is he interested because it’s Maryland or is he interested because he wants to … Read More »
How is it a school from New jersey is in the Great Western Conference? The highlanders are 2-6 this year but have played their opponents tough. It seems like the team has been off for 1 month not just 10 days. Will Gary tinker with the starting lineup in the 3 games before the Terps travel to Cameron to play Duke? probably not. Will Jordan continue his dominant presence? Probably yes. Will the Terps overcome their foul shooting woes? Lets … Read More »
Early in the year I was talking with my good friend Marc Appel who was extremely impressed with Danny O’Brien, Marc said to me that with a healthy O”Brien –Maryland would be in every game and win more then their share. Never has a prediction rung more true. The 2 pivotal games for the Terps were UVA and NC State–both winners based largely on the great play of QB1. As a result of the 8-4 record, Vanderbilt came calling for … Read More »
Shortly after Ralph was hired there was the annual Terrapin club event at Artie Donovan’s Country Club in Baltimore. I had a chance to sit down with Ralph with 6 or 7 Terrapin members. This was long before my start on the air waves. Was impressed me immediately was when I asked him if he saw 6 wins in the near future,. (remember now, Maryland hadn’t been to a bowl in a long while). He busted out laughing and said … Read More »
According to Leach, Kevin Anderson, Leach’s agent there has been no interaction as of now. This should change very quickly.
THe university has sold its 10,000 allotment of seats to the Military Bowl. Ralph will be coaching his last game for the Terps and this will be an interesting game.
