The Maryland Terrapins just lost sophomore quarterback Devin Burns who announced his withdrawal from the school and his expectation of transferring to another program. As of late, the QB position has been suspect for Maryland with the Terrapins losing five signal callers in 2012, four to injuries and one, QB Danny O’Brien, to transfer. However, in 2013 Maryland will be deep at quarterback with stiff competition. It is likely Burns’ withdrawal is a result of him presumably not going...

Duke university is officially canceling its pregame festivities commonly referred to as Tailgate. In light of last Saturday’s drunken stupor, the university is closing the gates on a pre-football game tradition. Vice President of Student Affairs, Larry Moneta, deemed “Tailgate has become and embarrassment.” Moneta’s strong words were an apparent reaction to a 15 year-old guest being found passed out in a porta-potty after the crowd dispersed and headed to the stadium. Being a minor, information of the incident is...

The redshirt freshman was riding his scooter just outside Cole Field House westbound on Campus Drive when a motorist suddenly turned left right into the path of DeSouza causing the impact.

Carrying an impressive 3-1 record, the Maryland Terrapins will host ACC foe Duke this Saturday at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium in College Park, MD. Saturday’s game against Duke will be Maryland’s first conference game of the season. Although the season is very young, the lack of a presence of a truly dominate team in the conference makes the race for the ACC seem wide open this year. Expectations in College Park, and among Maryland alumni are high for the Terps...
Less than 2 months before the season opener against Northwestern, word out in Nashville is Vanderbilt’s Bobby Johnson was forced to resign today. There are mixed reports about the reason for his resignation, but you really don’t have to look further than his record after 8 season, 29-66. His only on-the-field highlight was a 16-14 win over Boston College in the 2008 Music City Bowl. In 2009, he was 0-8 in SEC play and only managed to win 2...

Though he was unable to play that year, his passion for football and dedication to the game landed him back on the field in 2004. In a much anticipated debut, Larkin finally saw action as BC took the field against Ball State at Scheumann Stadium on September 2nd, 2004 in which BC won...
