He ate up Ralph Sampson, a 3 time All-American, every time the two played against each other. Buck! And please don’t say Joe Smith should be … Read More »
It’s time to put an asterisk next to the 2 Majors Paddy Harrington won last year in Tiger’s absence. Yesyerday , he was paired up with Eldrick and was going along great until he attempted an idiotic flop shot on 16 that bounced his chances into a watery grave. What in the world was he thinking.

Sunday morning at 11:30 AM on Channel 2 the first of a 3 segment interview has survived the television cuts. I believe in this first segment Stan will interview me about the evolution of Terp Talk and my feelings about the University.

If someone has the phone number or email address of John McNamara, please send it to me bruce @terptalk.com as I would like to have John on Terp Talk.
After my one hour interview with Terrapion great Derrick Lewis, I came away with the following impressions.
Derrick still absolutely loves basketball.
Derrick has a tremendous knowledge of basketball.
Archbishop Spaulding and Derrick Lewis are a perfect fit.
Pat McKindless is a knowledgeable, loyal and excellent assistant coach selection.
Derrick will be a super coach and bring Spaulding back to prominence in local hoops!!!
