What's funny to me is that this wasn't very hard to see coming. 4 of their 5 losses coming in to the game were really bad. If you spend all of your time listening the ESPN/ACCN guys, maybe you get how people might think that this team was a title contender. This isn't me being a Maryland homer. Whe...

O'Neill was a great player. One of the best of the last 4-5 years, won the Tewaaraton. Tremendous career. I'm not sure he ever lived up to the expectations of him coming in, however those were so sky high it may not have ever been possible I do think you can say that he can never became a *transcen...

Dino was not happy about replay, and he had some comments about how Maryland reacted...including how Tillman reacted. The IL write up of the game has Dino's quote, too. To be fair, he also said a couple of times that Maryland was the better team. Credit to Coach Danowski for his grace; any coach wo...

Perfect reflection of 2024. Ridiculous turnovers. Inept offense. Great defense. Great Luke. McNaney hands to ball to Duke for an easy goal. Too bad because he's played well. There's a reason the offensive upperclassmen got little time on the '22 team. Down 9-6 is a huge win for this horrible offens...

Not to take anything away from Maltz et al but a sober view Sober, really? Your comment suggest I’m in left field. Ok. Man I don’t care if you feed your kids stolen cord blood from the Tillman family in your free time but if you can’t acknowledge what a major advantage in FO and Goal does for a tea...

O’Neill’s legacy on the line. DocBarrister He had 3-4 goals… Real problem is the flow of the offense. Just a dodge and watch offense for most the game. Aggressive dodge that draws a slide and then a throw back to a non-threatening player.. This game was face-off and coaching mismatch No championshi...

Sober, really?

Whittier's skip pass to Maltz was just a thing of beauty. It gave me flashbacks to Kyle Long. Having Whittier getting some confidence back is huge. He's a guy who can beat defenders. He played well against Princeton and carried it over today. You also can't underestimate the effect of scoring will ...

Just for the internet record.....Wierman's left-handed goal....amazing right (left)? I mean that was shocking and amazing. He only had 2 goals prior to this game this year. He almost always pulled it back or passed to the wing this year; I'm not sure he ever scored lefty for Maryland in his HOF care...

The game changed at the Spanos ride back on the clear at 9-7. Brennan’s goal at the end to get it back to two was *huge*. When you’re within 2 with Wierman, you always got a shot. But that Spanos ride back was massive. They just couldn’t get it to within one, had so many possessions, and then a bad...

Sowers, O'Neill, Nakei Montgomery, Giles-Harris, Brower, Dyson Williams, Naso, Danenza, McAdorey, Carpenter, Zawada, Leadmon etc. That's a lot of top level college talent the last 4 years

But were they really?

You could see the experience down to the end of the game. Nobody seemed to panic. Syracusa just kept going after all his turnovers. Didn’t let it get to him. They’re gonna to have to play deep into the roster (Brennan, Stobaugh, etc.) to go all the way. Whittier had a great game. Brennan seeing one...

So the poll runs until Sunday and 2 hours after the Terps win it's still Duke 24-22 in votes. Do they still have a chance?

Congratulations to your program. Impressive win and the crowd sounded like a Terp crowd by far in your game. I'm sure Duke scoring 4 goals in the last 37 minutes had something to do with the crowd noise (2 of them coming on random, turnover situations). Jesse Bernhardt should be the 1st assistant t...

Like 2% controversial maybe

That's one of the more low-key amazing open goal shots in sports history

O'Neill, McAdorey & Zawada total: 3 goals and 1 assist. That's brilliant defensive scheming. Carc was fine overall, but it was funny that he kept harping on Zap's not taking O'Neill thing all day. Not sure he ever mentioned McAdorey (2nd team all american) and Zawada (HM all american) being comp...

Duke losing should free up a little room in Carc's mouth and throat. Carc needs new narrative for next weekend What does ESPN do with the Carc O'Neill love fest interview? "Ever heard of Gary Gait?" Yeah. "You remind me of him".fwapppppppfwapppppppp To his credit, Carc has been ...
