"Terrapins Rising" to Rise Again on Tuesday

Terrapins Rising, the popular (at least among us) behind the scenes documentary of Maryland football, will return for another season of spring practice-y goodness. It will occupy it's normal time slot, which would be Tuesdays at 9:30 on Comcast SportsNet. (h/t Pat Stevens)

Last year had quite a few high points, from a guarantee of a national championship from then-new offensive coordinator James Franklin that obviously didn't turn out, to a trip to the yoga instructor with some offensive lineman, to the heartwarming tales of Bemi and Boom.

If you miss any episodes, FridgeTV usually has them, though it sometimes takes a week for them to be posted.

Definitely looking forward to this one again. It's one of the very few reasons to look forward to Tuesdays in the summer.

Franklin's goal

It is far better to fail trying to achieve a lofty goal than it is just being content with goals that do not challenge a team. A lofty goal is not just about what the coaches believe a team can do. It says a lot about what coaches think they can do with the players they have. The goal requires forethought and a plan to achieve it. It creates tension as players and assistant coaches realize that more is expected of them than they may have expected of themselves.

I don’t know the basis for Franklin’s goal. I do know that I would like to hear what Friedgen, Franklin and Brown think “they” can do with this team.
