Happy Monday all! Sorry there wasn't a T3 article last week. Things in my world have been busy and I spaced on it. World Cup has been great and I can't wait to see our former Terps represent the #USMNT tomorrow. In other news, the countdown to college basketball is at 95 days.

12 El Person [no title]
11 ImFromMarylandAndNobodyCanBeatMe Do Maryland-Miami games take place in an alternate universe from all other sporting events or something?

9 Terptown16 Thank goodness we (students) can actually watch Away Terps games on TV
9 MHoopsJr. Yes, they really did
8 Scaletta This is fucking sweet!
8 Mike S. "what about our personnel vs the last two years makes this the time for an uptempo offense"

6 terpfan11111 Sorry but you and your little kids
6 umcp96 Has to be said...Never Pick State!
6 Mike S. No. If you care about this program, you very much WANT Ram to be on an athletic scholarship.
6 retlag Uptempo style is going to be more appealing to recruits.
6 terpfan11111 Good news comes out that you all have been asking for i.e. the coach is adapting, etc.
6 HughGR A ton of Terp fans like to blame Smo for the ills of the team....
6 testudbro This article just reminded me that Landon's jumper was butter his senior year.
5 KHemer And an uptempo offense would have resulted in more Nick Faust turnovers/bad shots.

5 DJ Carver I think that's a pretty good comeback by Turgeon to the mother
5 john.chacko Parting Shot
5 Pete Volk Would you prefer to be ignored?
5 Octavian Perhaps we didn't hear about him because Purifory has been on the periphery?
5 Todd Carton I was at the 2002 Peach Bowl
5 Mike S. It was directed at
5 Charlotte NC Terp We landed Robert Carter
5 terps319 So because you may come from a more affluent background
5 Dave Tucker Feel free not to read it then!
5 bshock He also was the only player on the team
