Welcome Back

Summer is over and the football team lost a critical game to Wake Forest on Saturday, it's time for basketball season.

I hope you like the changes around here and there are still more to come! Among the changes: new message board for all the fans to chat on during road games, polls, countdown timer, links to the opponents' sites and message boards.

It's been quite a summer in College Park:

  • almost all the coaches minus Coach Floyd treated the team like the Titanic and jumped off
  • Brenda is having twins just in time for the tournament. (Yes, there will be poll about naming the kids)
  • Lynetta Kizer has agreed to join the Terps in 09. Right now, she's the only one, but Terrapin Times tells me weekly that the next could be very soon.
  • Two recruits are already out for the season: Anjale Barrett and Kim Rodgers, both with leg injuries (we should insure all our recruits' legs before they step on campus - that's now three recruits in two years that can't play a minute of their freshman season because of injuries.)
  • Shay is no longer on the team and thanks to the great coaching of Patty Coyle Shay's ass found a permanent spot on the bench. (as did Ivory Latta's, which was great)
  • Duke hired a coach who likes to play zone on defense and who we have beaten in back-to-back seasons.


    If you haven't seen it yet here is the commercial for Maryland women's basketball season tickets.
