Eagles Landing.
Tonight at 7 PM, the Terps face Boston College at Comcast as the ACC regular season is quickly winding down.
It seems like almost yesterday when we were all playing trick or treat at the Halloween game between the Terps and Team USA. And amazingly, that exhibition against the national team was the only time at home this season that Maryland fans haven't seen the Terps win. Talk about double the fun!
Of course, there's been much more than just all those home victories to get excited about this season. How many seasons can anyone recall when the head coach was pregnant . . . with twins?
And Coach B's pregnancy set the stage for the emergence of her new Assistant Coach, Daron Park. There's no way to overstate the challenges faced by a new assistant coming in from a different conference, from across the country, and having to step in and take a top-5 team on the road in the ACC without their natty-winning head coach on the bench or even in the building. But having to do just that is one of the increased responsibilities Coach B's pregnancy quickly placed on Coach Park.
Today's Salt Lake Tribune has a great article about Coach Park and his whirlwind first season here at Maryland. There is, however, one factual error in the article, which no doubt all our loyal readers will notice. As it's a Utah paper, we'll cut the Tribune a little slack . . . this time. (But don't let it happen again!)

I think you nailed it when you address the challenges Coach Park has faced. I'm sure he had no idea that he would be thrust into such a position, but he has done a terrific job. After meeting him a few times at Rebounders functions, I am really glad he's a Terp and hope he's here for a long time.
I saw the Terps play Boston College here in Boston with my daughter. Coach Park did a great job. It was a close game at the beginning, but I always had the feeling that the Terps were in control. KT was amazing!
You'll be interested to know that there was a great turnout of Maryland fans. Probably a quarter of the crowd was rooting for Maryland. Unfortunately the BC women don't get the support that the Lady Terps get.
