Well, the Terrapin football team was the talk of the ACC following its thoroughly perplexing shutout of Wake Forest. No one seems to know what to make of the Terps, but that hasn’t stopped the media from trying anyway.
Terp Links
- John McNamara of The Capital writes that the Terps have finally learned their lesson and won’t call it in this Saturday against N.C. State. I wonder if they mean it this time…
- Bob Parasiliti of the Herald-Mail thinks Kevin Bacon could be the key to a Homecoming victory against the Wolfpack…
- ESPN’s Mark Schlabach broke down each of the BCS conference races this week. Any guesses as to which team he picked as the ACC Atlantic Division’s darkhorse (hint: we’re still in the “Terp Links” category)?…
- So after cutting former Terp Erin Henderson before last Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, the Minnesota Vikings decided to resign him a couple days later. If only the Vikes could collect decent quarterbacks the way they collect Henderson brothers…
- Ex-Terp Leroy Ambush III might not be suiting up in pads anymore, but he says he runs just as much at his new job with the Frederick County courthouse…
N.C. State Links
- Ken Tysiac of the News & Observer chronicles the missing players from the Wolfpack’s 2006 recruiting class…
- While most of us will be voting for either Barack Obama or John McCain in little more than week, N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien might have his own write-in candidate: his quarterback, Russell Wilson…
- While his alma mater will be facing off against the Terps on Saturday in College Park, ex-Wolfpack…er(?) and current San Diego Charger Philip Rivers will be taking on the New Orleans Saints in…London! That’s London, England, not London, Calif., which by the way does exist…
- Arizona Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson, another ex-Wolfpackite, might have made his name by delivering big hits in the NFL, but he claims the high point of his life has been the establishment of his own shoe store. Must be some nice shoes…
ACC Links (many of which turn into Terp links):
- Whatever happened to Clemson? Suddenly forgotten, running back James Davis and the Tigers are hoping to turn around their season without former-coach Tommy Bowden…
- After seeing a total of 10 plays in his college career, junior linebacker Darren Childs played 60 snaps for Virginia in its 16-13 overtime win over North Carolina…
- Dan Collins of the Winstom-Salem Journal details how last Saturday’s loss to the Terps hurt Wake Forest…
- ESPN’s Heather Dinich is taking a gamble by selecting the favored Terps to edge the Wolfpack in her weekly ACC picks. The Terps have shown that when they are expected to beat a team, they shouldn’t be, or something like that…
- Check out who’s leading the ACC in passing efficiency…

Dinich is right…these are the Bizarro Terps. Bad teams are tough games, ranked teams are weak, plus water is dry, and the sun sets in the morning.
