History

The University of Maryland, College Park was established in 1856. Between 1921 and 1953, the Terps were part of the Southern Conference (SoCon). The Southern Conference (or SoCon) is a college athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA 's Division I In 1953, Maryland seceded with six other SoCon schools to form the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC is a collegiate athletic league in the United States.

The school's sports teams are called the Terrapins, and the mascot of the University is a diamondback terrapin named Testudo. The name is derived from the Latin word for "tortoise", which was a term used by the Roman military to describe a type of military formation where a square of infantrymen would conceal the entire unit from the sides and above using their shields forming a "shed" which was used to protect the walls. In Ancient Roman Warfare the testudo or tortoise formation was a formation used commonly by the Roman Legions during battles particularly sieges For years the school colors were black and gold. After World War I, new coach Clark Shaughnessy came to Maryland from Stanford University and brought a supply of that school's uniforms with him. Combining those colors with the old black and gold, the university's official colors were amended to match those that appear on the Maryland State Flag: black, gold, red, and white, though red and white are now the primary colors. Black and gold are almost exclusively used as accent colors and during academic processions at commencement ceremonies.

Traditions

The University of Maryland has a number of traditions associated with the school's athletics programs. Traditionally, Maryland athletics have put the emphasis on fair play and competition over the outcome of a particular contest.

Maryland fans, especially students, are known to be very loyal and supportive of Maryland Athletics. As of 2008 The Princeton Review rates Maryland #1 in its annual "Students Pack the Stadiums" ranking of student atheltic support. The Princeton Review (TPR is an American educational preparation company [1]

Songs & Chants

Victory Song The Maryland Victory Song was written in 1928 by Thornton W. Allen, a student at the university. It is played frequently during Terp Basketball and Football games. During Football games, it is played after every touchdown the Terps score, regardless of whether the team is winning or losing, celebrating the immediate victory of accomplishment. Ironically, the "Victory" song is played even after defeat. The lyrics are as follows:

Maryland we're all behind you,
Raise high the black and gold.
For there is nothing half so glorious,
As to see our team victorious.
We've got the team boys,
We've got the steam boys,
So keep on fighting, don't give in!
M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D
Maryland will win

During the M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D section of the victory song, Terrapins fans show their clenched fists, and alternate pumping them in the air, beginning with their right fist on the "M" and alternating between left and right with each letter of the MARYLAND. The motion resembles someone climbing a ladder.

Alma Mater & Fight Song Other official school songs include the school's Alma Mater and Fight Song. Each of these are played at every home football game during the pregame festivities. The theme song to the 1980s cartoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been adopted as an unofficial school song. Fans generally shout the "Turtle Power" and "Heroes in a half-shell" lyrics in the chorus. In basketball competitions, when Maryland is all but assured of a win, an impromptu version of Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him) Goodbye" is performed to wish the competitor a farewell and good luck in future games. This may be accompanied by a rousing chant of "o-ver-ra-ted", if in fact the quality of the visiting team's play is not up to the standards of their current ranking. The song is also sung to call attention to players on the other team who foul out of the game.

"Hey, You Suck!" A popular saying among the students at Maryland is a simple "Hey, You Suck!" directed at opponents. Students have incorporated the phrase into Gary Glitter's popular sports anthem "Rock and Roll Part Two" (often referred to as the "The song"), leading the school to cease playing the song. Paul Francis Gadd (born 8 May 1944 is an English Glam rock Singer and Songwriter, and is better known by his Stage name Gary " Rock and Roll " also known as " The Hey Song," is a song performed by British Glam rocker Gary Glitter that was released in They have also incorporated it into the traditional "Na-na-na Na Hey Hey Goodbye" song uttered by sports fans following a foul-out of an opposing basketball player. Currently at basketball games immediately prior to tipoff, and at football games following a Terrapins touchdown, the student section begins performing an impromptu a cappella version of "Rock and Roll Part Two", as the band was banned from playing the song. A cappella (Italian or Latin "From the chapel/choir" Music is Vocal music or Singing without instrumental Accompaniment

Football

Key Plays At football games, Terp fans also shake their keys to signify urgency ("Key" Plays). This is usually done at the direction of the Student Section unofficial Lead Motivator, "Special K. " This has been done by other groups of fans throughout the country

Move those Chains During a football contest, when the Terps achieve a first down, the students advise the sideline chain crew to "move the chains" by hollering and pointing toward the first down.

The Curly Byrd During football games, when there is a critical offensive series, fans in the student section will flap their arms (performing the Curly "Byrd") to warn other spectators to keep quiet. This allows the offense to stay focused and not become distracted by on-goings in the stands.

Basketball

At the beginning of each men's basketball game, Maryland Coach Gary Williams pumps his fist to signify a good game. Gary B Williams (born March 4, 1945 in Collingswood, New Jersey, United States) is the current head coach of the University

Midnight Madness Midnight Madness was originally started by Maryland Head Coach Lefty Driesell in 1970. Charles "Lefty" Driesell (born December 25, 1931) is a retired college Basketball coach Midnight Madness is held at the earliest time the Men's Basketball Team can practice, which used to be midnight on the first day of practice. Students would attend the practice and over the years it has evolved into a circus-like atmosphere, including light shows, magic shows, the mascot trampoline challenge, skits, food, beverage, and other fanfare.

Recently, Maryland and some other schools have moved the start of Midnight Madness to earlier in the day - generally around 7 o'clock - with permission of the NCAA, of course. This is to encourage more families and fans who aren't even students to attend the event. As a result of this change, Midnight Madness has been rebranded as "Maryland Madness".

Free Throw Wave Students hold their arms above their heads when players are shooting free throws during a basketball contest. When the home team is shooting a free throw, and successfully completes the task, the students will drop their arms to their side, in addition to uttering a "whoomp" sound. When the opposing team is at the line, the students wave their arms and hands in tandem with the shot, to confuse the shooter. . .

One finger "bandit" Accompanying the free throw wave during a home team attempt, the UMD student will hold up one finger (typically the pointer) to signify the one point that is achieved during a successful free throw event. The students chant "uumph" as the free-throw is successful to compliment the "bandit".

Newspaper Shaking Maryland students attempt to read the newspaper as the opposing team is being introduced. They shake the paper as they read. When the opposing team's introductions are finished, the students crumple up the paper into a ball and throw it into the air. Magazines may also be substituted.

Also while the students are attempting to read their newspapers, it is a common practice for them to yell "sucks!" after each name of the opposing team and coaching staff is read, to voice their displeasure of an uncomfortable presence in the area.

For example: "(PA announcer) 'The head coach of the Blue Devils, Mike Krzyzewski. ' (Students will articulate) 'Sucks!'" It is timed such that it is heard continuously.

Other traditions

Beanies Between the years of 1920 - 1960, freshman students were mandated to wear beanies all over campus, including sporting events. These were known as "rat caps" for guys and "rabbit caps" for gals. A few students keep this tradition alive even today.

The Wave During times of extreme excitement during a sporting event, the fans will conduct a human "wave" that engulfs the stadium. The wave involves fans standing up in tandem in a particular section. As that section starts to sit down, the adjoining section begins to rise, simulating a water-wave. This action continues across the stadium as the frenzy rises. A significant amount of hollaring accompanies the wave.

The Crew The Crew is an exceptionally dedicated group of Men's Soccer fans. They generally sit behind the goal the opposing team is defending and berate the opposing goalie, referring to him by formal (given) name. Members of the Crew often travel to away games to continue to support their Terps. The Crew also organize activities to join the soccer environment.

Incidents

As recently as six years ago, the University of Maryland experienced a number of on-and-off the field incidents including rioting, harassment of opposing players by the student population, and the destruction of property on campus. The incidents have caused negative publicity for the university. Most eggregious were the events that occurred after sporting contests regardless of a win or loss.

In the early 2000s, security officers quelled sports-related rioting at least three times in as many years. After a major basketball loss in 2000, one thousand freshmen and sophomores swarmed across campus and caused significant property damage. [2] Following a win versus hated Duke in 2002, 18 people, including 3 students, were arrested after a crowd of about 3,000 tramped down Route 1, setting fires and throwing trash. [3] In the wake of these riots, the University Senate approved a rule that allows for students to be expelled for rioting off campus, even if they are not arrested. [4]

Prompted by a report from the NCAA's Sportsmanship and Fan Behavior Summit in 2003 and reports in 2004, UMD dispatches ushers at games to trade T-shirts with students who sport clothes with profane messages, and the band is forbidden to play Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part Two", which fans tend to lace with the phrase "You Suck!". Paul Francis Gadd (born 8 May 1944 is an English Glam rock Singer and Songwriter, and is better known by his Stage name Gary Further restrictions and penalties have been proposed due fans' extreme profanity towards opposing players[5][6] Additionally, fans have made public the cell phone and parents' phone number of an opposing player, to which UMD students had given so many harassing calls, the numbers needed to be changed. [7]

The unruly behavior is not limited to men's athletics. University of Maryland students and fans clashed with police in riot gear following the school's victory in the women's basketball national title game in April 2006, echoing unruly celebrations associated with the men's team in recent years. [8]

Rivalries

While the Terps do not have a single generally recognized school rival overall, they do share a select history both within the ACC and beyond the conference.

Duke - Basketball

The Maryland-Duke rivalry in men's basketball has taken on interest in recent years. Duke University is a private Research University located in Durham, North Carolina, United States. College basketball most often refers to the American Basketball competitive governance structure established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Some trace the origins of the rivalry to a game played at Cameron Indoor Stadium on February 9, 2000, in which Maryland, led by Juan Dixon's 31 points, upset then second-ranked Duke, ending the Blue Devils' streaks of 31 consecutive ACC victories and 46 consecutive home victories. Cameron Indoor Stadium is a Basketball Arena located on the West Campus of Duke University in Durham North Carolina. Events 474 - Zeno crowned as co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. Juan Dixon (born October 9 1978 in Baltimore Maryland, US) is an American professional Basketball player currently The two teams would go on to meet in the finals of the ACC tournament, where Duke would prevail, taking two out of three meetings that season.

In the 2000-2001 season, the two teams played 4 memorable games, 2 in the regular season, one in the ACC semifinals, and one in the NCAA Final Four. Duke won three of the four, including the memorable game at Cole Field House dubbed Miracle Minute, where Duke came back from a 10 point deficit in 54 seconds to emerge victorious in overtime. Duke also won the semifinal game, 84-82, en route to the ACC Championship. In the Final Four, Duke came back from a 22 deficit to earn a controversial [9] victory over Maryland and advance to the Championship game, where they would defeat Arizona to win it's third national championship.

The two teams entered the 2001-02 season among the national championship favorites. They met twice during the regular season: a 21-point Duke victory in Durham, and a 14-point Maryland victory in top-ranked Duke's final visit to Cole Field House. The William P Cole Jr Student Activities Building, more commonly known as Cole Field House, was the home of the University of Maryland basketball teams from The College Park matchup is noted for a memorable play before halftime, as Jason Williams, attempting to set up Duke's last shot, turned his eyes towards Coach K for instruction. Michael William Krzyzewski ( Polish: Krzyżewski /kʂɨˈʐɛ(fski/ in American English pronounced "Sha- chef -skee" born February As he did, Steve Blake stole the ball from him and scored on a lay-up, giving Maryland an eight-point lead and momentum. In the NCAA's, Duke would be upset in the Sweet Sixteen by fifth-seeded Indiana; Maryland would go on to win the title, defeating that very same Indiana team in the championship game. Indiana University, founded in 1820, is a nine-campus University system in the state of Indiana.

On January 18, 2003, Duke, relying heavily on a highly-touted freshman class, came to the newly-opened Comcast Center undefeated and top-ranked. Events 350 - Generallus Magnentius deposes Roman Emperor Constans and proclaims himself Emperor Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. Maryland, which was able to start five seniors, overcame a halftime deficit and won by 15 in a manner reminiscient of the teams' previous meeting. Duke would go on to win the rematch a month later, and the following season, took the regular-season series. The home game of the series was notorious for ESPN microphones picking up the Terps student section chanting "Fuck you, J. J. !" at Blue Devil shooting guard J. J. Redick as he attempted two late free throws, which caused the ACC to fine Maryland an undisclosed sum of money and reprimand the administration, asking them to better control their students. Jonathan Clay "J J" Redick (born June 24 1984 in Cookeville, Tennessee) is an American professional Basketball

Maryland ended the 2003-04 regular season with a 7-9 conference record. With wins against Wisconsin, top-ranked Florida, and North Carolina, Maryland entered the ACC tournament as a probable team to make the NCAAs.

Maryland, buoyed by the play of John Gilchrist, made a series of plays down the stretch to tie the game at 77 at the end of regulation. John H Gilchrist III, (born June 29, 1984) is a former Maryland Terrapins point guard With many on Duke's team, including Shelden Williams, in foul trouble, Maryland went on to outscore Duke 18-10 in overtime, resulting in a 95-87 victory and the school's first ACC tournament title in 20 years. Shelden DeMar Williams (born October 21, 1983 in Oklahoma City Oklahoma) is an American professional Basketball player for the

In the 2004-05 season, Maryland swept the Blue Devils, becoming the first conference team to do so since Wake Forest did nearly a decade earlier. They also became the first school to win three straight games against Duke since Michigan accomplished the feat in 1995, 1996, and 1997. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor ( U of M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a top-ranked Coeducational public research The victories over Duke were negated, however, by losses to supposedly weaker conference foes like Miami, North Carolina State, and Clemson, who defeated the Terrapins three times during the season. The University of Miami (also known as Miami of Florida, UM, or just The U) is a private non-sectarian University founded in 1925 Maryland was relegated to the NIT; Duke won the conference tournament, earned a one-seed, and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen for the eighth consecutive year. The National Invitation Tournament (NIT is a men's college Basketball tournament operated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Duke was a national championship favorite during the 2005-06 season, and was able to sweep a Maryland team rife with internal issues and underachieving players. Maryland, despite an 8-8 record, went back to the NIT and lost in the first round; Duke earned another conference title, another one-seed, and another trip to the Sweet Sixteen.

As of February 2008, Duke holds a 103-60 lead in the all-time series. Since the 1999-2000 season, however, Duke holds an 12-9 advantage. Maryland won both of its games against Duke in 2007, completing its second sweep of Duke in 3 years. Duke returned the favor in 2008, beating Maryland in College Park and Durham. The game is the source of frenzied fan interest in College Park and has drawn large television audiences in 2003.

Because of the intense nature of the rivalry in Men's Basketball, hatred between the schools has spilled over to other sports, notably men's soccer and women's basketball.

Duke, however, does not consider this much of a rivalry as their main rivals are the University of North Carolina and other schools located in North Carolina. The University of North Carolina system includes all sixteen public four-year universities in North Carolina, United States and one public residential high North Carolina ( is a state located on the Atlantic Seaboard in the southeastern United States

Penn State - Football

The series between the Terrapins and Nittany Lions has been dominated by Penn State University. The Pennsylvania State University (commonly known as Penn State) is a state-related, land-grant, space grant public research University The lone Maryland win in the modern era came in 1961. 1984 the Terps lost freshman safety Anthony Brown of Portsmouth, Va. following a nightclub shooting incident prior to a Penn State game. In recent years, Penn State has drawn the ire of Maryland fans by successfully recruiting some greater Washington, D. C. , area players, an area that had previously been successful for Maryland. Most notably, Forestville, Maryland high school football standout Antonio Logan-El, after initially giving a verbal commitment to the Terrapins, instead chose the Lions over Maryland on live television at the ESPN Zone in Baltimore, MD in 2006. Logan-El has since transferred to Towson University. The schools met nearly every year between 1960 and 1993 with Penn State winning 70-7 in the final installment of the series. The teams are not scheduled to meet anytime through 2013.

Virginia - Football

The Terrapins and Cavaliers have met in football since 1913, but have met annually since 1957 although Virginia joined the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1954. Origins and history The school colors adopted in 1888 are orange and navy blue Since the 2005 re-structuring of the ACC, Maryland and Virginia are designated as permanent cross-division conference rivals, and thus meet every year. The series has included a stretch from 1969 through 1987 when the Terps defeated the Cavaliers, including a conference championship clinching win in 1984 at Charlottesville. Year 1987 ( MCMLXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays 1987 Gregorian calendar) Charlottesville is an Independent city located within the confines of Albemarle County in the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States Virginia would turn the tables on the Terps from 1988 through 2000, with the exception of Maryland winning in 1990 in Charlottesville and 1991 in College Park. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. The most heartbreaking game in the series for the Terps came in the final game of the 1999 season where the Terps were leading 30-27 with less than 30 seconds remaining in regulation where they gave up a late touchdown to the Cavaliers, thustly losing by 4 points, 34-30, even though LaMont Jordan ran for a single-game school record 306 yards, which still stands to this day. LaMont Damon Jordan (born November 11, 1978 in) is an American football Running back for the New England Patriots of the National That loss by the Terps denied them a possible bowl invitation and a winning season.

When played at home at Byrd Stadium, the Virginia game usually takes place on Homecoming weekend.

Until Maryland won at Charlottesville in 2006 and Virginia won at College Park in 2007, the recent history of the series had both teams alternating wins at their home field since 2000 (Maryland winning in 2001, 2003 and 2005, Virginia winning in 2000, 2002, and 2004). As of December 2007, Maryland has the lead in the overall series, 41-30-2.

West Virginia - Football

Maryland and West Virginia share a competitive rivalry in football. West Virginia University is a Coeducational public Research university in Morgantown, West Virginia, USA. College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, Colleges and military academies The series is the longest current continuous non-conference series for either school, the two teams having met each year since 1980. As of September 2007, the series stands at 23-21-2 in favor of West Virginia. When Ralph Friedgen became head coach of the football team in 2001, he reportedly was offered a chance either to continue or discontinue the annual scheduling of the Terps-Mountaineers matchup, and he chose to maintain the games and the budding 21st-century rivalry. After the Terps won four straight against West Virginia from 2001-2004 (including the 2004 Gator Bowl), the Mountaineers have bounced back, winning the last four. Especially disheartening to Maryland fans has been the play of running back Steve Slaton, who joined the Mountainers after having his scholarship offer to Maryland revoked by Ralph Freidgen. Steven Slaton (born January 4, 1986 in) is an American football Running back for the Houston Texans of the National Football Slaton got his revenge in the 2006 and 2007 meetings, racking up a total of 332 yards and 5 touchdowns. The series will take a brief hiatus in 2008 and 2009 as Maryland begins a home-and-home series with California. The University of California Berkeley (also referred to as Cal, Berkeley and UC Berkeley) is a major research university located in Berkeley

Johns Hopkins - Lacrosse

Johns Hopkins University and the Terps have a long-standing rivalry in lacrosse. Lacrosse is a full contact Team sport played using a solid rubber ball and long handled racket called a crosse or Lacrosse stick. Both teams are located in the state of Maryland, which geographically categorizes JHU as a "regional" rival.

ACC in General

To the students, every school in the ACC is designated a competitive match, considering Maryland has no true rival. Due to the frequency (mostly round-robin format) in which the teams play in a variety of sports, there is some bad blood from individuals toward every other ACC school. As the ACC expansion in 2005 increased the number of teams to 12, this has diluted the ability of Maryland to continue a round robin schedule with most schools.
