Maryland Won't Hand Out Game Balls Because Of NCAA Regulations
Linebacker Marcus Whitfield had a hell of an opener for the Terps, racking up five tackles and one-and-a-half sacks. He was awarded the game ball, but won't get to see it for a while—the school is putting it in storage to avoid running afoul of NCAA regulations....

Delta Gamma Promises To Punish The Girl Who Wrote That Batshit Letter
This letter, which was sent by a University of Maryland sorority sister to her "fucking AWKWARD" sisters, is a gift to the world and should be cherished by all those who are fortunate enough to read it. The Delta Gamma president and executive director, however, do not feel the same way. They have is...
"WE FUCKING SUCK SO FAR": A Sorority Girl Lashes Out At Her Sisters
I always like to picture sororities as places where college girls stage elaborately decorated mixers and then spend the rest of the week gouging out each other's eyes. And thankfully, the remarkable email you're about to read proves all of my theories correct. From reader Erik: "This is from the U...
Maryland Scores Stunning Upset: Makes Mike Krzyzewski Sound Reasonable
Maryland upset Duke yesterday 83-81 and the students rushed the court after Quinn Cook's desperation half-court shot clanged off the rim. It was a good game made great by the history between the two schools thanks to conference affiliation. Both Maryland and Duke were charter members of the ACC when...
Sparkler-Brandishing Man Leads "Fuck Duke" Chant
There is something about this video that is just...pleasing. I can't tell if it's the unedited, found-footage peek-into-life-as-it-occurs vibe, the contrast of light triumphant over dark or something else....
Mike Krzyzewski Went On The Radio And Gasbagged About "Loyalty, Honesty, And Tradition" In College Basketball
Ugh. That's all that can be said about the following bit of commentary from Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, as spoken on Coach K's radio show and transcribed by DC Sports Bog:...
And Now The ACC Is Suing Maryland
In these crazypants days of realignment, the best thing a conference can do to solidify its membership is to sign a big, juicy TV contract. The ACC failed at that, so they did the next best thing: they raised the exit fee to $50 million dollars....
Maryland And Rutgers Are Joining The Big Ten Because They Have To
As expected, the Big Ten will now be 14. Maryland and Rutgers have let it be known they plan to abandon the ACC and the Big East, respectively, beginning in 2014. The motivation for all involved is plain: The Big Ten gets more of an East Coast footprint, and one that kinda-sorta touches the D.C. and...
The University Of Maryland's Twitter Account Was Hacked, Kept It Pretty Real For About Twenty Minutes
Along with Rutgers, the University of Maryland looks likely to flee its current conference for the Big Ten, and some people—notably, the person who hacked Maryland's official Twitter account tonight—are pretty happy about it. At first it seems conceivable that the person who manages UM's social med...
Reports: The Big Ten Wants Maryland And Rutgers
Pat Forde and ESPN are reporting that serious talks are afoot to fold Maryland and Rutgers into the Big Ten. Not only would that create a 14-member conference that'd surely be the biggest Ten in the world, it would reopen the scabby wound of major conference realignment. The ACC, the Terps' current ...

Maryland Will Start A Converted Linebacker At Quarterback Because Every Other Quarterback Is Out For The Year
Things are not going well for the signal callers at Maryland. In June, presumptive starter C.J. Brown went down with a torn ACL. Last week against N.C. State, backup Perry Hills also tore his ACL. Devin Burns then entered the game for the injured Hills and promptly suffered a Lisfranc injury. He is ...
Maryland State Troopers Asked The Yankees For Autographs During The Game
Camden Yards beefed up security for the Orioles' return to the playoffs, as is customary. In Baltimore's case, they've retained the services of Maryland State Police, who line the field, sit in the dugouts, that sort of thing. But two troopers, stationed in the Yankees' dugout, make the rookie mista...
Lefty Driesell Is Mad Because Maryland Named Its Court After Gary Williams
Gary Williams retired after last season as the winningest coach in the history of Maryland basketball, a 22-year run that included a national title in 2002. The school has named its court at the Comcast Center after Williams, but not without an objection from Lefty Driesell, who coached the Terps f...
More (Visual) Evidence That Randy Edsall Should Be Stopped
I was home in D.C. this past weekend reading the shitrag that used to be theWashington Post when I came across John Feinstein obliterating Maryland football coach Randy Edsall in the sports section. Feinstein described Edsall as a fool and an egomaniac who needs to be stopped before he ruins the sch...
The Two Cops Who Beat Up A Maryland Student Last Year Have Been Indicted

In West Virginia, Even The Old Ladies Spit On Opposing Football Players
Another day, another affecting tale of the pristine image of fans at West Virginia University. At least according to Maryland lineman A.J. Francis, who informed the Washington Post of how deep his family's roots in the Mountain State go before he then shared this heartwarming little story:...
