Maryland Terrapins (turtle)

I think I finally understand you, what your problem is, is that the only games you watch or even check the scores of are Maryland Terrapin games, Because only someone like you could rank Wisconson ahead of Iowa in the Big Ten and make that amazing comment about Iowa and Minnesota. Every post you make you manage to offend me. You need to become a more knowledgable person before you start throwing words around.

I looked over what I said and I realize that I made a fool out of myself. I threw out facts that I thought were legit but didnt know for sure. that I apologize for but that alone does not exuse how some of you have acted. Some of you acted so arrogant. Like maryland is nothing. I said it before and I will say it again on a good year maryland is on the par with iowa. THere records are very close over the past 4 years. Only a one game differential.

I didnt come here to get insulted which some of you have done. One person called me a dork in the little reputation message thing. Another person questioned my age. I am not acting in an immature manor I was just looking for good conversation. In my first post I asked the opinon of you alls towards maryland. I know it was there opinion but they basically treated maryland like garbage and that also bothered me. Like I said before I apologize for my wrongs i.e. saying things without looking them up. But some people here have done worse things.

I also did not mean to offend anyone. I did not speak lowly OSU or anyteams in the big ten for that matter. I do not know how you all can get worked up.

Terps4eva, a little light smack talk should probably be expected on a football board... hope you don't let it chase you away. I don't see any way to compare OSU and Maryland and not end up with the seesaw all crooked - not because MD isn't a good team, but because OSU is pretty darn elite. Appreciate your enthusiasm for your team, though. Conference comparisons are always debatable... and debated they were. :biggrin: As far as checking facts before posting... well, it's a lot more fun to debate with accuracy anyway, isn't it?

Stick around and read up. Guarantee you'll learn a TON from the people here. I certainly have... mostly, how much I don't know. :roll2:

BTW, grew up not far from DC and rooted appropriately, so I'll take that Redskins high-five. :)

Sry if u were offended but I threw out no insulting words. I think what you need to understand is that relating Iowa to Maryland is an insult. I wouldn't even put you on par with Wisconson, as was said earlier in this thread you can relate your team to Northwestern. Mybe its better if we stop this because it seems as though you can't handle being the only one on your side of the argument. You and ND can talk about comparing Maryland to Iowa amongst yourself and I won't say a thing I swear.

Apologies accepted, of course. Hey, if we didn't like you, you'd already be gone from this site. We have plenty of fans from other teams over here, and appreciate input from them (well, most of them, anyway). But you are in enemy territory, so you have to expect a little bit of smack, right? :wink2:

While you're here, check out our recruiting forum. It's a place for information, not confrontation, and you will find threads on many high school players from the state of Maryland (Antonio Logan El, J.B. Walton, Akeem Hebron, Drew Gloster, Novarro Bowman, and several others), many of whom will end up signing with the Terps.

Our Open Discussion forum is a place to discuss just about anything not related to sports, with very few rules. It's generally a very friendly place, even for fans of other programs.

Again, welcome, and best of luck to the Terps in '05.

I know OSU is the better team but it would still be an interesting matchup. It would be like the Redskins playing the Eaglestg the 2nd time this past NFL season. The eagle are clearly the better team but they played a very close game that came down to the wire. It was great defense on both sides with the occasional big play on offense and special teams.....

The Eagles and Redskins are divisional rivals- so this comparison is completely unrelatable to OSU-MD. Many moons ago, when the Cowboys went 1-15 their only win was over Washington- who won the super bowl. Then, when the Redskins went 1-15 their only win was against the Cowboys- who won the super bowl. Md would enjoy no such luck against tOSU. If tOSU played Maryland this year we would win by 30, at least. Maryland puts a very talented player into the NFL every year it seems, but tOSU puts out superstars nearly every year.
One thing I'll disagree with my fellow OSU brethren on is this- Maryland could build an elite program. It would mean huge investments (hundreds of millions) into their facilities and a new attitude (basketball second). Since neither is likely to happen, Maryland will remain the Northwestern of the ACC- minus the ridiculous academic standards.

I lived in Maryland for 2 years before coming here to Florida and the fan base was so very different from the Ones at Ohio State. Woody Hayes brought much passion to our fine Institution. And the same will happen to the Terps under "Fridge" he is a fiery sort of coach and very likeable guy.

Your stadium is sort of the same as Northwesterns in a way. So give it some time and maybe in a few years you will get your wish, but of course the game will probably be on a saturday night at the "Shoe" And ........well, what can i Say, except - Good Luck if it happens. Since you are such an avid Terp fan, why don't you give us synopsis on what a Terrapin is. I know - but it would be neat to hear your words on this. Oh by the way I lived near Ritchie highway just off of aquahart and mary lane. Lots of drug arrest went off in that apartment complex. Wow-wow.

If OSU played maryland this year you guys would win but not by thirty. The only game you blew someone out last year was against Oklahoma state and the crappy teams Cincinati and Indiana. I understand why you all respect iowa so much now. They beat OSU's ass. Man do did they have some defensive talent. MAtt roth, Jonathan babinuex(sp?), Chad Greenway, Abdul Hodge, sean considine, ect.

We were utter crap last season. The main reason being bad QB play. since our QB was so bad and gave the ball up so much no one respected our passing game so they loaded up the box and contained our two best offensive players (sammy malundo and Josh allen) Our defense was superb though. The only game were they played bad being Virginia tech

I would say that qualifies more or less as a blowout, considering that they had but one loss coming into the game and that they were never really back in the game after Ginn's PR for a TD.

Can someone explain to me why OSU lost them 5 games last year ?<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Check your math, Sparky. :wink2:

And again, we are not talking about last year, we are talking about this coming season. The team the pounded Michigan and Oklahoma State is NOT the same team that lost to NW, Wisc, and IA. This was a team that lost 14 players to the NFL draft the previous season. We sucked the first half of the season. Period. We are not disputing that. What we are saying is that we return almost every key component from last years team and we expect to play every game the way we did against scUM and Okie Light.

Terps4eva, This was a pretty good post, right until the end where you either miscounted our losses, or mistyped a '5' for a '4'. But overstating the actual losses for tOSU is a sure-file way in incur some grief from Buckeye fans.

eva, you said that you sucked ass last year since your QB sucked... as far as I know, you still have no one to play the position do you?

I have to agree that your QB was horrible, I watched 3-4 games and would almost get sick watching the horrible QB play
