Yes I'm 65 and miss the ACC

 

Terp guy blogging:. When I was much younger, South Carolina's exit(1971)  and GT's hoops entrance(1979)  to the ACC irked me. Now, I'm noticing the former PAC12 teams , Stanford and Cal, and former  AAC team SMU, creeping up in the basketball standings. 

SMU beat NCSU, Stanford beat NCSU, and CAL trounced MIA yesterday. S. Yiğitoğlu scored 20 for the Mustangs.GT football joined the ACC in 1983.

Four in a row for the Terps after beating Wisky last night.. D.Queen -12 rebounds.

Stanford and SMU won and moved into a three way tie for fourth in the ACC.

 SMU AD Rick Hart, who has led the athletic department since 2012, will step down at the end of the academic year. Maybe he's tired or something else is going on. Kind of odd after a successful football season.

The Terps move to the Big 10 was a boost for the baseball team making the NCAAT, but now we've gone two years w/o making it.

Seeing UW on the Terps B10 schedule  reminded me of the tough loss to the Huskies on Xmas night 1982

UW 21 MD 20 in the Aloha Bowl. It's the only matchup between the teams 

Boomer Esiason threw 2TD passes.

Reading a book on the ACC and was reminded that Carl Tacy had a decent run(1972-85) at Wake Forest  which included beating Depaul in the 1984 Dance to make it to the Elite 8. DePaul had Tyrone Corbin. WF had Danny Young & Mugsy Bogues.

WF hired Tacy away from Marshall U.

Buzzkill: from the Sweet 16 in March 2025 to needing  to beat PSU tomorrow to get out of the B10 cellar.

Jan 19, 2026

43 points from D. Colt, 30 in the first half, saved the Terps from the B10 basement. MD 96 PSU 73. We're tied with the Ducks for 15th place.

March 11, 2026

Bad enough the Terps are in the bottom 4 of 18 teams that play a round 1 Big10T game, but  the B10 network didn't carry it and farmed it out to Peacock. Crazy days. Terps' beat the Ducks and advance to play Iowa in another game I won't see.

We beat Iowa earlier this season
