Maryland Almost Gets One for the General
Sunday, January 9th, 2011Notes from Maryland’s 71-64 loss at Duke, with Greivis in attendance …
– Maryland has to feel good about hanging with Duke, at Duke, but Maryland Sports Correspondent Andy Peden says, “If they don’t start winning, they’ll miss the Tournament. They have to beat Villanova and go 10-6 in ACC.”
– Jordan Williams is a beast (23 [...]
Video: Greivis Vasquez Gets Crossed Up
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010While the Terps backcourt is unsettled at best, Greivis Vasquez has found a new home in Memphis, getting 10 minute per game as the backup PG for the 8-14 Grizzlies. Still, being an NBA rookie comes with its growing pains, like getting decimated by a Deron Williams crossover (via Slam Online):
It happens, Greivis. Shimmy shake [...]
Scenes From Strassy’s Would-Be Debut
Sunday, June 6th, 2010Texted words and pics from Mr. Irrelevant Maryland sports correspondent Andy Peden, who attended Friday night’s Nats-Reds game, which had been widely speculated to be Stephen Strasburg’s debut. He can be seen here modeling our red Strasburg 11:58:43 t-shirt behind home plate.
I would say there had to be 32,000 or so there. Most of the [...]
In Which Ohio St. Baller/Blogger Mark Titus Blows Up Greivis Vasquez’ Spot
Thursday, April 8th, 2010For a guy whose team wasn’t playing, Greivis had a busy Final Four. He was presented with the Cousy Award, which is nice. It also seems he went to a nightclub where Ohio State player/Club Trillion blogger Mark Titus was in attendance. Here’s what Titus wrote about the encounter:
I realized that this bar was capable [...]

Greivis and Gary, POY and COY Winners
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Via tweet from Comcast SportsNet’s Chick Hernandez:
I have confirmed Gary Williams & Greivis Vasquez coach and player of the year in the ACC. Congrats to both.
Vasquez is Maryland’s first POY winner since Juan Dixon in 2002. Williams also won COY that season, before the Terps went on to win the National Championship.
I’d also like [...]
Fear the Curious Facial Hair
Thursday, March 4th, 2010Maryland 79, Duke 72. Meaning the Terps will probably share the ACC title, but not Player of the Year. That’s all Greivis’.

A Duke Fan’s Rebuttal to Greivis-for-POY
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Here to rebut Andy’s argument that Greivis Vasquez is this season’s ACC Player of the Year is Duke senior and former Deadspin intern Ben Cohen.
Typically, when Duke goes up to play Maryland, the subsequent jeers are vulgar. Sometimes, they’re laced with profanity. In J.J. Redick’s case, they’re not-so-veiled allusions to sisters in high school. Mercifully, [...]
It’s Greivis Over Scheyer for ACC POY
