Maryland Minute 10.29.09 - One More Reason to Hate J.J. Redick

JJ Redick Releasing a Rap Album

Nope, not kidding. - bbroman

CFB's Bottom Ten - ESPN

Surprisingly, Maryland doesn't make the cut. Don't get too excited though. We're on the "waiting list."  

Football Undergoing Youth Movement - WAPO

Here's one interesting note from the story:

"Some of his (Friedgen) players came to him the other day, relaying the news that some of their teammates had been saying they have nothing left to play for this season."

This is obviously not what you want to hear from your players. Ralph better find a way to get through to his guys because a 1-7 ACC record is not going to help his chances of returning next season. 

Two MD Wrestlers Picked for All-Star Event

Pretty cool story here from the Wrestling program. Steven Bell and Alex Krom, two ACC champs and All-Americans, were each selected to participate in the 44th annual National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Clinic. It's the first time in school history that the Terps have sent two wrestlers to the event. 

Adriean Payne to Michigan State

That's bad. Had Payne gone to Kentucky or West Virginia, you could count out that destination as Tobias Harris'. -bbroman

Explaining Eric Franklin's appearance - D1scourse

It was entirely inexcusable, IMO. But this would be worse:

"He played pretty good. ...," Friedgen said. "We knew he was going to be a good player. It's just it is what it is. We're hoping we don't have to do that with [Dexter] McDougle or one of the quarterbacks, but that might come about, too."

If McDougle burns his redshirt, that's a definite sign that Ralph needs to go. - bbroman
