30 LeftCoastTerp Here we go again
21 LeftCoastTerp It's a sign that we only have one PG on the roster!
19 Dave Tucker Maryland Football:
19 chitsweire [no title]
18 Scaletta Can I just say that I'm glad Tabor didn't come here
18 gregmfisher Saw this on the front page of reddit yesterday
18 Andrew Emmer Also from SEC Media Days, some interesting comments from Vandy DL Adam Butler on a certain B1G coach...
16 curterp Bias' induction
16 SpinningGamera Who wouldn't want to join this parliament?
15 LetsGoO Well, it happening to one player is no big deal
15 MHoopsJr. First of all, being goaded by radio people doesn't mean you have to do something.
15 LeftCoastTerp Owl smack talk?
14 snuggles596 I will refrain from piping in on this.
14 The GIF Oracle [no title]
13 bshock I think you're missing the forest for the trees
13 Todd Carton I can't begin to articulate
13 Pete Volk The coaches think so!
13 Mike S. Maybe, but with a joint effort we might all be able to hash things out.
13 Miked1612 "I will for go my academic and athletic career at Temple University!"
13 umcp96 Why are you being so blunt?
13 RandyJuan Maryland's talent level has increased quite a bit since that butt whooping. Quite a few 4-Stars with the randon 5* sprinkled in.
12 nmcvicker03 He wanted to avoid using smoke and mirrors.
11 PurpleNurple19 Just go ahead now.
11 MHoopsJr. No, but it might make Spin Doctors out of the coaching staff.
11 Pete Volk Thanks! This took me 6-7 hours, in total, so I appreciate the kind words.
10 Scaletta Please go post on BSD
9 jarem Update
9 MHoopsJr. I'll go ahead and say it, Randy Edsall is a good football coach.
9 umcp96 JAKE AND TRAYVON...STAY AWAY FROM DIGGS!
9 SpinningGamera [no title]
9 reborn579 [no title]
9 LeftCoastTerp Aw hell
9 DMDTerp [no title]
8 MHoopsJr. I'd caution a big difference between Len Bias and Pete Rose.
8 ckstevenson Remember to puff puff give with your recs
8 Cville_Terp great summary pete
8 1 proud terp aww, you're too kind, Bud.
8 reborn579 My bet on who we get?
7 GCterpfan This is such a dopey thread.....
7 reborn579 Show some excitement Volk!
7 LeftCoastTerp The awesome thing about Diggs is you never need to remind him to talk up the DMV2UMD movement!
7 Ocbp1 Len Bias
7 MHoopsJr. Gardner isn't as bad as his rep
7 Terpific Anyone who says "I burned my diploma"...
7 Pete Volk Purifoy*
7 ImFromMarylandAndNobodyCanBeatMe Good Riddinich
7 Max_Fischer I don't have a comment, but a rec would've nice
7 terpforever Just wanna say..
7 Maryland1206 I'm sorry this is dumb
7 timotheus8866 Len Bias
7 terp4life2002 I think all Juan has to do is this...
7 bshock "[Y]ou can think letting Ralph go was correct AND hiring Edsall was incorrect."
6 HughGR Anyone who brings up the "burning of the diploma" as a negative is an idiot.
6 TERPASAURUS The Kaiseman
6 ImFromMarylandAndNobodyCanBeatMe But it's the offseason, so it's time for RAMPANT SPECULATION!
6 ExreeHippsters I've had enough
6 chitsweire So I trust we'll know on every play whether Illinois is running or passing when we play them?
6 BulletTerp Pete, you forgot to add our game on 6 Dec at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis
6 SanFranTerp There is no information on which one can judge
6 umcp96 I thought that was the Heisman?
6 Dave Tucker This is exactly how I feel about all of this
6 umcp96 Who is this Jalen Tabor person you are talking about?
6 NeonParkTerp Damn you Bill Cosby!
5 MHoopsJr. What did you call Virginia Tech last season?
5 Lucky Horseshoe anything is possible if your goalie gets hot!
5 reborn579 The tackle formerly known as Prince
5 LeftCoastTerp He looks pretty comfortable on that field with Maryland on it
5 bshock I wish I had a good explanation
5 LeftCoastTerp Melomummy
5 HammerTerp it's gotta be field hockey
5 ImFromMarylandAndNobodyCanBeatMe Why/how? Debbie Yow!
5 Dave Tucker I'm happy this is happening
5 reborn579 One has diamonds in his pockets
5 cSq Super easy to explain
5 MClub Len was no longer wearing a Terp uniform.
5 RJ Bents Maybe they will combine all the trophies
5 ckstevenson You can also vote for Mercer upsetting Duke
5 Andrew Emmer Hey all! Dave, Pete and I are recording the first ever Testudo Times Podcast tonight!
5 englandumd I recognize there were serious politics involved with Bias being in the Hall of Fame
5 Scaletta You're insane.
5 ImFromMarylandAndNobodyCanBeatMe Crazy how we can legitimately claim both the greatest player to never play in the NBA
5 umcp96 Pennsylvania is our home!....Franklin will learn that quickly
5 terpforever 2 Memories...
5 bshock Just throwing this out there
5 Wise Guy Not an unreasonable consideration BUT…..
5 ExreeHippsters 1.5 miles in a city makes a huge difference
5 CA_Terps_Fan Would love to see Prince at UMD. Our line is rapidly becoming an area of strength and this would definitely add to that.
5 HughGR In short, NO ONE on this board has accused Randy of being a good coach....
5 Lucky Horseshoe several problems with your logic
5 LeftCoastTerp Damn right
5 bshock Free Shoeless Joe
5 bshock Agree, and I'd also add:
5 ImFromMarylandAndNobodyCanBeatMe NO, DAVE, DO NOT CARRY ON.
5 LongonMD Bias...
