Ken Singleton, Steve Atkins and Joe Bellino are part of This Week in Maryland Sports History

Patrick Mangin is director of the CNX Baltimore Marine Terminal, overseeing the exportation of millions of tons of Appalachian coal each year.

The announcement earlier this month that Maryland would face Boston College in the Quick Lane Bowl on Dec. 26 at Detroit's Ford Field brought back old — and very cold — memories for many longtime Terps fans.

Will Miller scored 16 points off the bench to lead five players in double figures as host Mount St. Mary's raced past Coppin State, 87-49, on Thursday night.

Maryland coach DJ Durkin finalized his coaching staff last week with the hiring of offensive line coach Dave Borbely. In the process of hiring nine assistants, Durkin combined elements of experience and youth, along with recruiting prowess and coaching talent. It¿s an impressive staff on paper.

Bert Jones, who quarterbacked the Colts to three AFC East championships in the 1970s, was elected Friday to the College Football Hall of Fame. A first-team All-American at LSU, Jones is one of 16 players and coaches named to the class of 2016, which will be inducted in December.

Anderson, who signed Mark Turgeon to an eight-year contract after Gary Williams retired suddenly in March 2011, said he still has faith that the Terps will turn it around.

A team that had never won a game in November under third-year coach Randy Edsall went on to win two of its last three in the regular season. The Military Bowl or AdvoCare V100 Bowl remain most likely.

The Military Bowl in Annapolis would be 'a logical choice' for Maryland, and the AdvoCare V100 Bowl in Shreveport is also scouting the Terps.

Just a few thoughts while we all wait anxiously for the start of the Music City Bowl, which will feature North Carolina State and Vanderbilt in the first game of today's so-so New Year¿s Eve bowl lineup.
