M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D Maryland Will Win!

Thursday, October 4, 2007 – 11:07 am

This is what I get for bragging about Maryland’s greatness in dominating the DC college sports scene, I suppose. Exactly 0% of scholarship players who joined our men’s basketball team between 1997 and 2000 have graduated from the university. Oops.
Perhaps the most glaring figure in the NCAA’s data was the zero percent graduation […]

The Phone Booth Is Safe For Now

Friday, June 15, 2007 – 12:12 pm

The NBA is definitely not where my sports knowledge lies, but as with every Washington fan, I’ve been following the story of Gilbert Arenas’s announced intention to opt out of his contract pretty closely.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Arenas is DC’s first superstar of our own on any pro team […]

In Desperate Need Of Some Hibachi

Thursday, April 26, 2007 – 11:54 am

I feel a bit guilty for not posting anything regarding the Wiz, but it’s just so painful to think about. Ever since Agent Zero went down, this season has been a slow and inevitable race to be the first team knocked out of the playoffs. With second all-star Caron Butler also out, […]

Mourning A Terp

Tuesday, April 17, 2007 – 9:34 am

I hate to start the day so negatively, but another shocking death took place yesterday that I must mention: LaRon Cephas passed away Monday morning. 99% of my readers (at least) may not recognize the name at first glance, but Cephas was a team captain for the ‘00-’01 Terps, the first basketball team […]

Another Of My Meaningless Rants I Feel Compelled To Share With The World

Thursday, April 5, 2007 – 7:08 pm

While reading Chuck Klosterman’s Final Four blog*, I noticed the continuation of a disturbing trend in his very first entry:
Are you aware that Greg Oden is taking a class at Ohio State this semester on the History of Rock ‘N’ Roll? That might come up once or twice.
The only examples that come to mind […]

Yeah, Well, Your Mom Takes Intense Walks

Monday, March 26, 2007 – 2:54 pm

ESPN.com’s TrueHoop blog makes fun of Bill Bradley for encouraging people to walk more:
So, a little admonishment to walk more, from a man who spent nearly two decades in the Senate, which is one of the only work environments on the planet with its own interior subway — to prevent longish outdoor walks.
Fair enough, […]

My Brackets Were So Busted

Monday, March 26, 2007 – 11:43 am

Theoretically, Maryland and Georgetown should be rivals. Someday the schools might figure out how to play each other more than once every twenty years. So, I’m not going to be jumping on any bandwagons or anything like that.
I will, however, point out that DC has had a school in the Final Four […]

Two More Weeks Of Watching My Busted Brackets

Wednesday, March 21, 2007 – 10:11 am

I never would have predicted 18 months ago that I would be emotionally distraught over a women’s basketball game. This Maryland team completely captured my attention and affections last year, and I’m devastated to see them lose so early in the tournament this year. The game was absolutely miserable, with Ole Miss […]
