Amazingly, down 3 with 3:23 to go, on the road at Ill Homecoming, Wisc with a backup QB drives all the way down the field and wins the game with a td pass leaving little time for Ill.

A QB who had thrown one pass in his career.

Compare that result with our Homecoming against the same team, just a week earlier, with our 4-year QB and not only can we not win it, we leave Ill with enough time to drive down and beat us.

Luke Fickell (69-27) vs. Mike Locksley (28-56)

Such a difference

Anybody who beings up race, FU, talent is what wins.

Despite being on a bye this week, we lost points in the Coaches Poll, went from 11 last week to 4 this week, and dropped from an effective 35th to a tie for 38th with Kansas.

RESPECT...

Unreal, it seems like this program simply can’t go a season without some big name player getting arrested. Mgbako the latest Hoosier to get arrested.

9. Penn State. The passing attack evaporated, the ground game stymied, and even the Nittany Lions' top-ranked defense finally gave way late in a loss at Ohio State. PSU is now 0-13 against AP top 10 opponents on the road since 2010 and still awaits that program-defining win to break through in the tough Big Ten East. Michigan awaits in 3 weeks.

Halloween Concept Helmets For Every Team

Looks like they took Derik Queen to Ruth’s Chris for dinner tonight, per Jahn Lamothe’s IG. This would make my wife happy as for some ungodly reason she prefers that place over any other steak joints. Ruth’s Chris is good, but I’d have to say best steak in B’more is easily Capital Grille.

And many more…

Chop Robinson hurt and helped off the field.

Ain't that a real shame.....

Then State Penn has a fumble return for a TD overturned by a flag

about ex terp lacrosse player Brett Schmidt whose 4-year-old son has a hereditary disease that has taken his sight.

Story on how the addition of Indiana transfer Jordan Geronimo has added another element to the Terps this season.

STORY

Five-star big man Derik Queen is set to arrive on campus later today and this is perhaps the biggest OV Maryland has had since Diamond Stone back in the day. The Terps have been the perceived leaders throughout, but Indiana and Houston are both making a big push.

I will say this, Team Thrill director Mookie Dobbins, who is running point on his recruitment, has gone mostly silent with a lot of folks down the stretch of this one, myself included. With that said, he still communicates with one source of mine regularly and still says the Terps are in very good shape. It is true that Dobbins has a good relationship with Sampson and really trusts him after Walker was taken No. 8 in this year's NBA Draft, but Willard has made Queen THE priority and even perhaps sacrificed some other possible commits (like Matt Hodge) to make sure the money is right and they are able to land Queen. Willard knows he can't miss on this one and he's doing everything you can think of to make sure they don't.

As for Queen as a player, I'll admit, early in his high school career I felt, as did others, he really needed to improve his stamina and motor to become the five-star everyone expected him to be. Well, lucky for us, he did improve his motor and he's become arguably the best big in the class. He has amazing post footwork, soft hands, the ability to go to either shoulder in the post, he is a rim protector, has excellent vision for someone his size and has even become a solid rim runner. He isn't the most explosive, but he knows how to use his size and will bully smaller guys in the post.

As for when to expect a commitment, it is likely to come in the next couple weeks before the early signing period. More at the link below.
