Maryland To Play East Carolina In Military Bowl
The Maryland Terrapins, who finished tied for third place in the Atlantic Coast Conference, will not be traveling very far from home in what will be the school's seventh bowl in Ralph Friedgen's ten seasons. Instead of heading south to sunny Florida or even somewhat cooler Nashville, the Terps (8-4, 5-3 ACC) will be busing over to nearby RFK Stadium to face East Carolina (6-6, 5-3 CUSA) in the Military Bowl Presented by Northrop Grumman on Wednesday, December 29.

Maryland vs. N.C. State: Plenty On The Line In Season Finale
If I told you earlier this year that the University of Maryland football team would be playing a prime time game on network television in a race for the ACC's Atlantic division crown following a 2-10 season, you would likely think I was crazy. Yet lo and behold, Maryland ensured just that last Saturday night against Florida State -- while they came out on the losing end in a heartbreaking finish, the Maryland Terrapins (7-4, 4-3 ACC) have provided a remarkable turnaround from last year.
Maryland Football: A November to Remember?

Oh, and Friedgen was on the brink of being fired to boot.

27 Arrested in Post-Game Celebrations in College Park
The Post reports that 27 people were arrested in the skirmish, many of them University of Maryland students. WUSA9's video footage clearly shows officers using violent tactics against some of the revelers: one student was hit in the head repeatedly with a night stick, while another was beaten with a riot shield. Some of those celebrating are also shown pulling down a street sign, and later, a smaller group of students set fire to a tree on campus, according to the Post.

The Glass Slipper: Maryland Beats Wake Forest, Proceeds to ACC Semis
Wake Forest guard L.D. Williams's vaunted defense couldn't stop Maryland's Greivis Vasquez from picking up 22 points in last night's big upset over Wake Forest -- a win that cleared the Terps for the conference championship and redeemed a close loss against the Demon Deacons earlier in the month.
Terps Soccer Goes for Final Four
You can pretty much set your calendar by the Maryland Terps men's soccer team's annual run deep into NCAA tournament. This year's no different: after dispatching George Mason in the second round and battling past a tough Cal team last week, the #2 seeded Terrapins meet up with the Creighton Blue Jays. The two teams have tangled before in the tourney, most recently in 2004 when current Glasgow Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu slotted home the winning penalty kick in a dramatic shootout win for Maryland. On Saturday, they meet up again for a trip to the Final Four. College Park's Ludwig Field — one of the nation's best college soccer atmospheres — should be rockin'. Kickoff at 1 p.m., Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for youth/seniors/students and they're available in advance on the UM athletics website.
