17 bloodwatermission Crabcakes, football, and yelling
17 mb333terps Tony Kornheisers also an idiot.
17 FearTheTurtle Sheehan: "...the Duke-Maryland games; the Carolina-Maryland games were huge for so long. And that’s over. They’ll be at Purdue next year."

8 Pzterp You're right..
8 fkterp imagine
8 73TerpGrad From one Terp to another

7 Andrew Emmer I actually don't work tomorrow at all
7 TerpFan2001 B1G Time Offensive Line
7 say_al gif party
7 Delmarterp It's not the coach!
7 Pete Volk A big difference
7 ckstevenson We're being set up for the biggest Volking of them all
7 Lucky Horseshoe I think winner of Rutgers/ Md game gets Delaware for a year.
7 Maryland1206 I think you're taking a long reach here just to attack RE

7 KStalz Woo!!!
7 SiliconValleyTerp [no title]
7 s.r.genovese Where is that FloridaTerp guy?

7 djcarv2005 In perspective
7 MTMDFan Faust was useless?
6 Pete Volk Here ya go
6 KStalz Princemas!!!
6 KStalz ...
6 1 proud terp for those that missed the game, my take:
6 s.r.genovese [no title]
6 SiliconValleyTerp God help you Volk, if you are wrong
6 Brendan Darr For the record
6 Maryland1206 LETS FUCKING MURDER THEM
6 nonstopjoe MT must be taking yelling and screaming lessons from GW.
6 AtlanticVerde I'd love for the trophy to be a Delaware flag
6 Fear the TurGle Good Shouldered Kid
6 fatchris Yea kinda my points a little earlier
6 Lucky Horseshoe probably something as
6 KStalz Dude, I am a big Ulmer fan
6 larry31 The blame game
6 bball purist Once I put it on the board last month I knew it would happen
6 aamir.akram.5 We now officially have a King and a Prince at CP.
6 Terpific We did not learn anything new because of the North Carolina loss...
6 PSUbaltimore Wanted him at State.
6 thedurtyturtle i learned we have three speeds:
6 chitsweire For those who missed the announcement
6 nmcvicker03 so…..
6 NickTerp85 Wow ... but my son will probably hate Brendan for the next 12-16 months ...
6 Dave Tucker This is exactly right
6 JHBTerp ICYMI, this is another reason to love Prince!
6 duck They're mourning a corpse that's been dead for a decade
6 noam23 They also fail to realize that there are no longer Duke-Maryland GAMES
6 Lauderdale Terp Look at the player average...
6 Andrew Emmer Call me crazy
6 FloridaTerp20 1 of 6 shooting, 0 of 3 from 3
6 ES46NE10 Georgetown has absolutely no business being anywhere near the bracket. None.
6 Wise Guy Faust will be Faust...
6 retlag Faust is at his best when he plays like Sean Moseley.
5 Andrew Emmer [no title]
5 s.r.genovese Princemas
5 terpinva The best thing about this game!
5 nmcvicker03 lack of discipline
5 chitsweire I think Florida Turtle would like a word as well
5 nmcvicker03 sure they do.
5 nmcvicker03 We are still leaving out the most important and inside persons opinion….
5 Ethan.K "After trailing by just three, the Terps failed to make a basket over the final 6:25 of the 1st half,"
5 pkloa Prince related:
5 The GIF Oracle [no title]
5 pkloa .
5 SpinningGamera [no title]
5 Pete Volk An update
5 bloodwatermission [no title]
5 Lucky Horseshoe people keep comparing him to James Brown
5 Dave Tucker This is all part of the master plan, everyone
5 Yanik Mguaua same mistakes all 3 seasons.
5 CA_Terps_Fan Nothing pisses me off more than these kinds of after the fact proclamations.
5 UMD2016 with visible sweat stains under his arms
5 SpinningGamera Our only chance is if Mcadoo and Paige are caught sniffing and itching their asses the whole time on the court...
5 hurtineminthehomeoftheterrapins people aren't taking into account how stacked we are at certain positions
5 coldrushy Desmond Hubert
5 1 proud terp This is a winnable game, Carolina is not typical-Carolina good.
5 djcarv2005 I mean really
5 nmcvicker03 i honestly don't care what he does at this point.
5 coldrushy I lied, I wasn't too lazy
5 coldrushy Interesting
5 1 proud terp Rivalries should happen organically.
5 EricPat Looks like the tide is turning on Damian
5 ES46NE10 Maryland responds to Turgeon's yelling
5 Pete Volk Not true!
