Randy Edsall...Drop and Give Me 10

For a team that finished last year with 9 wins, and in the top 25...this year was nothing short of an embarrassment. Randy Edsall took over in January for Ralph Friedgen, and immediately started to implement his militaristic coaching style.
At first, when reports came out that players wanted to transfer, or quit..all I thought was that these kids need to grow up and maybe they had it too easy with The Fridge. But the more and more I take a look back at this season, I can't help but wonder what exactly Edsall is trying to do. Having a military type mindset is fine...when you're winning, but when you lose 8 straight in your first year, and there's anarchy in the locker room..maaaaybe it's time to change it up.
There is absolutely no way that MD will let him go after one year, they have too much invested in him...plus the fact that they bought out Ralph's hefty a$$...I mean contract.
I'm not a fan of AD Kevin Anderson for many reasons. Most notably, the hiring of an average coach (at best) to lead the football program to the next level..doesn't make sense. Not to mention he just cut 6 different sports programs (8 teams) all in his first 2 years. Congratulations! Now go back to Army!
Someone needs to put Randy Edsall in line..not only has he embarrassed the entire state of Terp nation, but he doesn't seem to think any of it is his fault. Needless to say it's going to be an interesting offseason. Keep an eye out for player transfers, recruiting, and Edsall's take on the changes needed for the upcoming season.

Here's a clip of the Terrapins new recruiting video to show High School recruits the typical football practice run by Edsall: Enjoy!

Prideful Play

This season has had its ups & downs for Maryland (2-7 1-5ACC). Technically it had only one up vs. Miami, & we've been heading downhill faster than the Jamaican Bobsled Team ever since. Tonight's game vs. Notre Dame (6-3) at FedEx Field gives the Terps a final shot to prove to the entire nation that they aren't just a team to be looked over. The Fighting Irish have been on a roll lately though, and they'll look to improve their overall record since losing their first two games of the season.



Randy Edsall announced that the Terps will be donning their "Pride" uniforms tonight. They also rocked these against Miami and received plenty of attention across the nation for it. Yes, they stole the idea from a ladies roller derby team, but f*ck it...I LOVE THEM! Supposedly Notre Dame will have a change in uniform tonight as well. So we'll see who wins the uni battle. Here's a quick look at their new helmet.



My hope is that these battered & bruised Terrapins can have more pride in their play, than in their gear tonight! Tune in at 7:30pm on NBC for the action!




Prediction: Maryland 20 Notre Dame 38
