TERP End Season With Bowl Win!

By -

 


It was a record-setting day for Maryland as the Terps won the 2021 New Era Pinstripe Bowl with a dominating 54-10 victory over Virginia Tech on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. Maryland's 54 points is the most points ever scored in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl and most by a Terrapin team in a bowl game. 


Tarheeb Still opened the scoring with a school-record long punt return of 92 yards. That was followed by a 70-yard touchdown pass – the longest in Maryland's bowl history – from Taulia Tagovailoa to Darryl Jones opening a 14-3 lead for the Terps (7-6 overall) and they rolled from there.

Tagovailoa had 307 yards of total offense - as Maryland totaled 481 yards on offense – on his way to earning the game's Most Valuable Player. He was 20-of-24 for 265 passing yards with two touchdowns, including 14-15 for 192 yards and a touchdown in the first half. He also ran four times for 42 yards. Tagovailoa tied the Maryland program record for touchdown passes in a single-season with 26.

The 44-point margin of victory is the third-largest margin of victory in Big Ten history, second only to Michigan's 49-point wins in the 1902 and 1948 Rose Bowl, against Stanford and USC, respectively. This victory definitely gives the Terps confidence and inspiration to continue to build going into next season.

DC AG Files Lawsuit against Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Goodell

By -
DC AG Karl Racine is filing a civil lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, owner Dan Snyder, the National Football League and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stating  they collectively lied about allegations of a hostile work environment and workplace harassment and that Snyder was not only aware of those issues, but "encouraged and participated" in it.   Racine gave us a few quotes: "We're standing up for DC residents who were repeatedly lied to and deceived" "The Attorney General's office reviewed thousand of internal documents and emails uncovering clear wrongdoing of D.C. residents and their consumer rights" Its safe to say D.C. is no longer putting up with Dan Snyder and Roger Goodell's sh*t.  Good for them.

NFC Playoffs

I think it is safe to say the NFC East is back.  If the playoffs were to start today the entire NFC East would be in the playoffs.  It would be In this order: 1) Philadelphia Eagles 2) Minnesota Vikings 3) San Francisco 49ers 4) Tampa Bay Bucs 5) Dallas Cowboys 6) NY Giants 7) Washington Commanders I know we still have 5 games to go in the season, and a lot can happen in 5 games, but the NFC East is dominating again.   Now, which one of these teams is favored to represent the NFC in the Superbowl?  Or is there a team out there that you think can make a run?

AFC Playoffs

By -
The AFC East looks like the division that has it all together.  With every team 2 games above .500 or better, the wise bet would be the AFC SuperBowl representatives would come from this division.   Then you have to remember that the KC Chiefs, LA Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, and the Tennessee Titans are all very much in the mix.  The AFC Playoff picture, as of today looks like this: 1) Kansas City Chiefs 2) Miami Dolphins  3) Tennessee Titans 4) Baltimore Ravens 5) Buffalo Bills 6) Cincinnati Bengals 7) NY Jets Once again, I know a lot can happen in 5 games, and this list is far from finanalized.  Who are you picks for the AFC playoff representatives?  Who is going take it all the way to the Superbowl?
