Terps Sports

You realize we didn't give up an earned run all weekend? Our staff is DOMINANT.

Game is at 3 on Friday? Bummer, I work at CSPAC till 5

Manhattans typically a pretty solid program, I know they won the MAAC last year and it looks like they were picked 3rd this year in the preseason poll. I would think 3-1 would be fine against them

I have an Orgo 2 class on Fridays at 3.....

But I've skipped that every single week. I also have three tests next week so I'll be nice and ready to do some partying and berating umpires. Now I just need to get some friends to go with.

Bring your TA obviously

Touché

I did send in my HR Club donation a few weeks ago though

We're all fans, that's all I care about. Having played when we wouldn't get more than 200 people when playing #1 teams it's nice to already see support welling.

I think they only charge for weekend ACC games so no ID is needed this weekend.

very.

It has taken three seasons to accomplish the goal, but Maryland coach Erik Bakich finally appears to have a club primed to compete for an NCAA postseason berth.

Bakich, of course, warns to tap on the breaks for now. But there’s no doubting the fact the Terrapins are much improved.

They made a first statement two weekends ago with a road series win over UCLA, before gaining headlines this weekend for their play in Greenville, N.C., where they defeated red-hot Purdue, solid East Carolina and Western Carolina.

The Terrapins headline our look back at Sunday’s college baseball action.

TEAM OF THE DAY: Maryland

The days of the Terrapins being an afterthought in the ACC might finally be over thanks to coach Erik Bakich and a much improved team. The Terps caught everyone’s attention last weekend with a road series win over UCLA. They earned even more respect this weekend with a 3-0 weekend in North Carolina, earning wins over Purdue, East Carolina and Western Carolina. In Sunday’s 2-1 win over host ECU, Terps starting pitcher Brett Harman allowed just a run in five innings. Maryland is 5-1 after two tough weekends.

Color me not so surprised that Maryland coach Erik Bakich is creating a winner in College Park, Md. Having lived in Nashville for a couple of years while he was at Vanderbilt, including the highly touted 2007 campaign, it was even easy to see then that Bakich would be a successful head coach, at least eventually, whether it was at Maryland or another stop in the road. He’s a relentless recruiter with a quiet confidence off the field. On the field, he was a very fiery assistant for Vandy, but has since cooled his rhetoric a bit. Still, you have to love the type of fire he showed back then. Time will tell if Maryland continues at this pace and is able to reach the NCAA postseason. But again, if that happens, I won’t be surprised at all.

Long shot but not crazy talk. They will certainly draw some votes.
