A sneak preview of Gary Williams Court
Shoutout to broadcastterp to getting up a FanPost on this earlier. It does look a little plain, and Gary's signature isn't quite as flowing as I thought, but there's not much you can do with something like this. If you don't want to see it, don't click.
Gary Williams on Maryland-Georgetown
Yes please.
"I think Georgetown and Maryland should play," Williams said. "I think it will happen, I really do. With me out of there, and the II out of there, I think it’s gonna happen. We played, if you remember, we played at U.S. Air Arena the last game, so that was the sticking point."
Also, it's cool that he calls him "the II." But yeah, this needs to happen.
Court-naming ceremony begins at 8:40
Seen a lot of people ask this, so here's the answer: fans "are encouraged to be in their seats by 8:40" if you want to see the ceremony.
Rivals on prediction commitments
All unanimous: Stefon Diggs to Florida and Ronald Darby and Eddie Goldman to FSU.
Jalen Tabor(!) visiting for the Duke game
Just FWIW. Don't read too much into it. Still, cool.
Gonzaga F Kris Jenkins taking things slow as bigger schools start calling
A lot of people seem to like Jenkins. No idea where he'd fit in at this level, but if you're interested in a recruiting update, here's one.
Top 2013 TE Adam Breneman visiting Maryland on the 4th
For the UNC game. *gulp*
Even Kansas basketball fans mocked Billy Cundiff - The Dagger
Sorry, folks, I couldn't resist. This is clever.

Parts of it, yes, I believe so
Its part of ESPN’s pregame coverage.

My Parents went to the Gary Williams dinner last night
And they said it was absolutely amazing. There were toasts by Izzo, Coach K, Dixon, Vasquez, and some others I can’t remember. She said Mouton, Taj, Grinnon, Turg, and some others were in attendance as well.
Oh, and she said Scott Van Pelt was hilarious as an emcee with Holiday.
I thought it was odd when she said Lefty wasn’t there and didn’t do a toast.

They didn’t say, but when I talked to them it seemed like they were live toasts.

I guess K came up before his team or they stayed in CP last night
Izzo coming into town is pretty impressive… unless he was also in town to recruit…

Sorry for the confusion
Those toasts were via webcam

Decently big
It was on the floor of Comcast. Apparently the rat and Gary are good friends. Who knew?

I've always been under the impression there's a lot of mutual respect between the two
As much as I dislike the rat, I get this sinking feeling that I’ll have respect for what he accomplished… after her retires!
I'm still amazed
that some think their is this hatred or strong dislike of each other. Gary and K are friends. It’s not only mutual respect, they’re friends. Gary talked about the 60s and playing Army in (I think) ’66.
In the end, coaching is a big fraternity. If you think of it that way, their is very few brothers that dislike each other.

I know that Gary and Izzo are really good friends
They did a USO tour in Iraq together a while back, iirc.
When we played MSU in the tourney a couple years back (DAMN YOU KORIE LUCIOUS!) I remember thinking, and hearing the announcers saying, that it was a real shame that those 2 great, old school coaches had to face each other so early in the tournament. How true.
I wasn't referring to you
others think they’re mortal enemies – lol.
Yeah, I like Izzo and it just burns me up that he’s dealt us two bitter tourney defeats the past 10 years, both coming too early.

FROM THE BALTIMORE SUN
Terps Beat Army, 57-54, To Win Charlotte Tourney
Maryland’s Terrapins, who had overcome an 11-point deficit… trailed Army until only 4:12 remained when Gary Williams drove in for a basket that put them ahead 48-46.
48-All Tie
But Williams fouled Mike Krzyzewski while making the shot, and Krzyzewski made his two free throws to tie it at 48-all. Maryland took the lead for good with 3:43 to go on a three-point play. This time Krzyzewski fouled Williams, who made the first free throw and missed the second, which Joe Harrington tipped in. That made it 51-48 Maryland.

The fact that Coach K took the time and showed the respect for Gary
by showing up and giving a toast, may make me hate him a little less…and I don’t think I could handle that, especially a day before we play those bastards.

Coach K's toast was via webcam
Same with Izzo, Vaz, Dixon (I think)

JALEN TABOR!!!!!!
Now onto a serious a note. I can not wait to see Gary. I personally love the man. Wasn’t awarded a student ticket :(, I cant understand why. I’ve been to every game this season during the time at school and even went to 3 over winter break. But I’ll be there, just have to buy a ticket.
Yeah man.
I can’t miss this. Even if we lose by 30 (I hope not). I grew up on Gary in my household. Went to games at Cole (not may current students can say they have done that). Hopefully he gives us one more first pump. Yeah, kinda bummed I didn’t get a ticket, but gotta do what you gotta do.
by Timothy Bowen on Jan 24, 2012 9:27 AM EST up reply actions
You can totally sneak in to the student section if you buy a legit ticket to get in
The last time they checked my ticket was never.
That's my plan.
I’m just going to use a friends student ticket just in case the want to check when your going down to it.

Anyone know what they are naming the court?
I am pulling for “Garyland” even though i know that’s not happening.
I believe it's going to be
just “Gary Williams Court”.

I'm going to cry during the ceremony
I’m proud to admit it

I've never cried more in public
Than at the retirement announcement… that was rough
My night will be a success
As long as we see a Terp sliding on the floor for a loose ball right over Gary’s signature…and leaving a puddle of sweat on it, needing the floor sweepers to come out – lol

Turge double pump fists going to be up in a few years
I want Gary’s and Turge’s side by side at that point!
"A new era has dawned in Maryland Athletics..."
by bball purist on Jan 24, 2012 2:43 PM EST up reply actions
Kinda like
Gary’s one fist pump= 1st Natty
Turge’s double fist pump= 2nd Natty
When (not if) Turge wins his, they should hang the banners above the trphies.
good idea - go hand in hand together

Duke v. MD 6PM ESPN
Hopefully, loudmouth will be somewhere else.
The ad next to the Gary Williams Court picture...
When I clicked on the picture of the court, the ad that came up to the right of it was one of Google’s “Google A Day” questions. It asked:
“If you were being served terrapin stew at a historic presidential inaugural ball, in what government building would you be?”
Not cool.
Sure would be nice if Bobby Knight was the color commentator
instead of some of the big mouths like Dicki V, Bilas or Jay Williams
Looks like it will be Knight and Shulman
“Dan Shulman (play-by-play) and Bob Knight (analyst) will call the game for ESPN.”

Sweet. Love Bobby Knight doing games.
I don’t need a loudmouth douche to get me excited for this game.
