Maryland Terrapins (turtle)

It never fails. Once every spring/summer, some fan of doormat U shows up to ring the bell about how their program is going to make the jump to the next level.

Maryland’s new football facility could resemble a space ship

The cash-strapped University of Maryland knows a serious commitment needs to be made to ensure success in athletics once they move from the ACC to the Big Ten (next year), and there is no photo evidence providing a potential look to the future. Images of a new indoor football facility were shared by Alex Prewitt of The Washington Post via Twitter and thinks the outside resembles a space ship. The Dallas Cowboys already play in a stadium that often draws comparisons to the Death Star, so we will have to wait and see what sci-fi comparisons are made to Maryland’s new football facility once constructed.

First came the look at the inside of the new indoor practice field, which does little to dazzle seeing as it is simply a football field surrounded by four walls and covered by a ceiling. There is not of imagination to use inside until the building is constructed, so the question is just what the outside will look like when completed?

I live in Maryland and we tried to get into watching them play. In the end just could not do it. They do stupid stuff that leaves you yelling at the screen. However if we can get our hands on tickets for next year the family is going to see OSU in our backyard. :dance2:

It won't be a tough ticket. I'm be at the Maryland and Navy game and all the home games next year (live in NOVA). Buckeye football awesomeness.

Maryland wide receiver Levern Jacobs anticipates sharing field with younger brother


Many years ago, long before they realized that speed was their ticket into college football, the Jacobs brothers raced. They toed a line, someone said go and they sprinted straight, the purest barometer of hustle. Levern, the older, and Taivon, the younger, legs churning down the grass, always neck and neck.

Usually, Taivon won. He had always been faster, even only just by a hair. Maryland’s freshman wide receiver once clocked a 4.3-second 40-yard dash, a blistering time by any measure. Levern, a sophomore wide receiver at Maryland, was never far behind. His best time clocked in at 4.4 flat.

Saturday afternoon, 40 miles up the Baltimore-Washington Parkway from their old racing grounds in Suitland, Levern and Taivon could finally appear together for the first time as fellow Terrapins. Taivon’s knee, surgically repaired and subsequently rehabilitated after a torn ACL suffered last winter, is finally healed. The freshman’s trademark speed is back and he’s finally ready to join his brother.

“I think he’s ready,” Levern said Wednesday. “I don’t know what’s going through his head. He’s been training for it all his life. We both have.”

Maryland football receives commitment from four-star WR Juwann Winfree


According to a person with knowledge of the situation, the Maryland football team has secured an oral commitment from highly touted New Jersey wide receiver Juwann Winfree, filling its one open wide receiver spot in the class of 2014 on Friday afternoon.

Winfree reportedly had offers from Georgia, Pittsburgh, North Carolina State and Vanderbilt, among others. He’s a noted Stefon Diggs fan who, upon visiting College Park in August, tweeted enthusiastically about meeting the heralded sophomore wide receiver. He took his official visit during Maryland’s 37-0 drubbing of West Virginia, which also offered Winfree a scholarship, on Saturday at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium.


Coach Randy Edsall has now secured 11 commitments for the class of 2014, led by local four-star defensive end Jesse Aniebonam (Good Counsel) and quarterback Will Ulmer. Running back commit Johnathan Thomas (St. John’s Prep in Danvers, Mass.) rounds out an already strong crop of skill-position recruits.

Left on the table are OLB Melvin Keihn (Gilman), OL Brock Ruble (DeMatha), OL Damian Prince (Bishop McNamara) and CB Jalen Tabor (Friendship Collegiate). Edsall spent his Friday working through those local powerhouses, paying visits on Maryland’s bye week.

247sports.com rated Winfree the eighth-best player in New Jersey, and by all accounts he was the Terps’ top wide receiver target for this class.

This sets Maryland up for an absurdly talented — and partially hypothetical — group of wideouts for its first Big Ten season: Diggs, Deon Long (if he doesn’t jump to the NFL), Marcus Leak (assuming he’s back from personal leave), Nigel King, Levern Jacobs, Taivon Jacobs (Levern’s young brother, once committed to Ohio State) and Winfree.
