Flip Saunders Was Almost a Terrapin
Dan Steinberg of the DC Sports Bog has the story of how Washington Wizards Coach Flip Saunders almost went to Maryland in the early 1970s. Seems Saunders was worried about playing time with a guy named John Lucas a year ahead of him, so he went to Minnesota.
"So I made a wise decision," Saunders said with a smile.

Barno1 - I think the bloggers are still waiting to see if Gary can sign Lance Stephensen.

Barno,
I'm with you on this one. I didn't even bother to read the article, because I couldn't give 2 sh*ts about close Flip Saunders was to being a Terp.
Terps Insider my arse.

I find the Fridge's weight loss a more compelling article than Flip Saunders. At least he had the balls to go to Maryland.

Is this seriously a blog item on the Terps Insider? Wow, just wow.
Can we can something other than "Here's a borrowed item from steinberg blog" posts, or the "this is what the always-wrong media thinks about the terps chances this year"?
Are the beat reporters on a 4 month vacation or what
