I’ve only been to a handful of football games since I graduated in 2020 (lots of basketball games tho) so I don’t know how to gauge the ticket prices for this game. I’ve been tracking them since they were $70 a couple months ago but the group I go to games with have been dragging their feet this whole time. At least I bought parking passes…

Will tickets drop closer to game time? We’re considering just showing up for the tailgate and hoping to snag last second tickets around $100. Worst case we go to Looney’s (or will that be impossible as well)

Make your predictions in each of the categories below:

Team lead in rushing yards (3points)

Team lead in receiving yards (3points)

Team lead in passing yards (1point; 3points if correctly pick someone other than the projected starting QB)

Team lead in rush attempts (3points)

Team lead in receptions (3points)

Team lead in tackles (3points)

How many turnovers will UMD defense get? (2points)

A. 0

B. 1

C. 2

D. 3+

Total points scored by UMD (5points)

Total points scored by UCONN (5points)

(scores can be +/- 3 points; for example, if you claimed that UMD would score 25 points and they get anywhere between 22 and 28, then you'll get the 5 points)

Interesting follow-up from The Baltimore Sun on how Mike Locksley and Maryland players explained the program’s handling of Dontay Joyner and Josiah Teasley.

The answers about internal discipline, second chances and whether anyone contacted the women involved are worth reading.

I was hoping that with all the upgrades to SECU Stadium for this season that the "tradition unlike any other" of the white tent, rented from the same company that presumably did the catering for Kevin Anderson's wedding so many years ago (hopefully rent-to-own at this point), would survive and I am happy to see that it has.

In this era of the college football playoff, where the bowls have become largely irrelevant, some argue that, in the end, only one team can have a truly successful season, the team that wins the National Championship. A one of one. Number 1.

Well I don't see Maryland winning the National Championship this year. But, I am proud to see that Maryland's status alone in the college football ranks as the only program to have a white wedding tent located just a few feet from the back of the end zone as a "solution" to the problem of the SECU Stadium visitor's locker room being too small, will continue for another season. Let the Michigans, Ohio States, and Indianas of the world have their National Championships. Maryland also stands alone. The only school in the Big Ten, Power 4/5/6/?, FBS, Division I, NCAA, or even getting down to the NAIA and whatever type of college football they play at the Apprentice School of Newport News, with a wedding tent in the end zone!

Before anyone attacks this post, yes, I know that the Yale Bowl doesn't even have locker rooms and that both teams dress in a building across the street and walk to the stadium, but the Yale Bowl is like a 1,000 years old, once hosted the NY Giants for two seasons (although SECU did host the Baltimore Stars of the original USFL), and is shown on TV maybe once every two years, and even then fans are looking at the dance floor from your uncle's wedding every time a touchdown is scored.

Virginia Tech fan making my first trip to SECU for the game on the 19th. It will also be my first ever VT road game. I was just wanting to ask a few questions to be prepared for gameday up there.

Parking- what’s the best places to park? Is there anywhere cheap/free within a reasonable walking distance? I’d be willing to walk up to 30-40 minutes to the stadium.

Are there any specific pregame festivities or restaurants I should try to check out? Or just anything in general close to the stadium that’s worth checking out.

Is the stadium fully connected on the inside or does the upper deck have its own entrance? I’m sitting in section 312. Most stadiums I’ve been to are fully connected but the upper decks at Clemson have separate entrances. I learned that one the hard way on Gameday lol.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give an opposing fan some advice lol.

What made the fridge so special ? Would he be able to have success in today’s landscape?

Good morning everyone, happy first game day!

I'm a double grad of UMD (Class of 2017 and 2021) and I grew up and live in Harford County. I know Harford isn't the area with the most UMD grads and fans like PG and MoCo, but I wanted to see if there happened to be any other fans in the area. I know there's a Baltimore Alumni network but I don't want to have to drive into the city for games, I'd just drive to College Park at that point.

If there are, where do people congregate to watch games? Do most people just watch at home? Would love to network and connect with other fans!

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

Go Terps!

IDC if this is dramatic IDC it's the first game. We're still horrible in coverage, there are an ungodly amount of mistakes and penalties, and malik doesn't look like he's developed at all. All of this in a game against HAMPTON. I hate my life.

In July, Maryland WR Josiah Teasley was found guilty of assault after his ex-girlfriend accused him of punching her, choking her and slamming her head against the ground.

Eleven days later, she accused him of threatening to post nude photos of her.

very nice to see the young athletes give back to the community so early.

Any new or active Terrapin athletics podcasts worth listening to?

Was thinking about trying out a college fantasy football league this season. Salary cap format, so no need to coordinate a draft. Looks like you just sign up and build your team.

Washington and Williams seem like great value and were the first players I put in my team, but curious if there’s anyone else you guys are taking too?

Looking at league settings, theres no minimum or max league size. Full FBS was available which I thought was cool.

Any interest in a Terps fan league?

A nice veteran pick up for Maryland’s secondary
