RIOTS ON ROUTE ONE!

LET’S START A RIOT! Last night on route one was the craziest night college park has seen since 2002. What up guys, I’m back after a nice break from blogging. After the Terps beat Duke, students flocked to route one cheering and dancing. They were full of spirit and excitement and so high off of adrenaline. The students blocked off route one and screaming cheers for Maryland–with countless “Fuck Duke!” chants. It was a great night to be a Terp…until the cops came. Officers on horse back lined up in the streets and started coming towards the students. S.W.A.T guys filed up and marched towards the kids, banging their shields, holding riffles filled with rubber pellets, and carrying mace that they would use against anyone in their path. That’s officially when chaos broke out. People were being arrested and dragged to the center of the street being beaten by clubs. At the end of the night, 27 kids were arrested, and 2 suffered minor injuries. I myself got tear gassed, and my eyes were burning and tearing, while my lungs were on fire. I was coughing for about 3 minutes straight.

One kid burned a Duke jersey on a tree and the branch caught on fire. We were all chanting and the SWAT kept coming and we kept running. We ended up at Mckeldin Mall, where people lit trash cans and dumpsters on fire. At this point, the cops had hooks on the end of their sticks, which were used to reel any collegiate in sight. The kids tried flipping a bus, but that didn’t really work out. All the emotions every Terp was feeling was contagious. They threw snowballs at the SWAT, but they had full body shields. If this doesn’t scream CHAOS, nothing does. There was one kid trying to climb up a lamp post upside down!

This is definitely one of the best college experiences I have ever participated in. it was mayhem ever, with fireworks just going off everywhere. And all of this is because we beat Duke! I’m damn proud of Maryland, and last night, I had the most severe case of Terrapinitis~!

Keep on rockin,

A very motivational story. He shoots 500 baskets a day…Never leaves the court until he is fully satisfied he learned a new skill that particular day….And he is only 9 Years old. Watching Dakota Simms play even makes me nervous to play with him and i am 22 years old. Don’t get it twisted yall! I definitely can ball but this kid right here is the only one that can stop himself from being the next Kobe or Lebron James.

LeBron to Remain a Cavalier… “hopefully?”

Antonio — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 04:50:38 +0000

Despite losing out to the Magic in their grueling playoff series, according to FOXSports, LeBron is “happy” in Cleveland. Next year LeBron has the option of becoming a free agent or taking Cleveland’s 3-year contract extension. James will keep fans in limbo as he takes a break from the game and spends time with his family.

Maryland’s Best and Worst Player

simpson — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:31:56 +0000

After convincingly beating Cal on Thursday afternoon, our Terps “tried” valiantly to beat the #2 seed, Memphis Tigers. Before the game, Vasquez opened his mouth as always and said that Memphis’ conference, Conference USA, was weaker than the ACC. Memphis went undefeated in their conference this year and currently have the nation’s longest winning streak. That just added fuel to the fire as Memphis crushed the Terps 89-70, sending our Terps home packing and Greivis back to CP to contemplate his draft position. At least we have the Lady Terps!
