Post-Spring Maryland Football Thoughts

1 month ago | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Zack Kiesel

Maryland’s football team is approximately three months away from their 2025 season opener and wrapped up their spring practice schedule a few weeks ago. After a disappointing 2024 season, there have been a significant number of changes to both the roster and coaching staff. The program will have a different look and feel this year as they look for a rebound, which will begin against Florida Atlantic on August 30th in College Park.

2025 Ravens: State Of The Defense

1 month ago | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Kyle Andrews

When you think of the Baltimore Ravens, one word comes to mind—defense. Historically, the Ravens have been defined by their defensive prowess. Heading into the 2025 NFL season, the team is once again reshaping that identity. In 2024, Baltimore’s defense had a rollercoaster year. They ranked 27th in defensive EPA per play through Week 10, before dramatically improving to 1st overall in the second half of the season.
'25 Seemingly Over Before Memorial Day; Thoughts On '26

1 month ago | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Chris Stoner |Baltimore Orioles

For the second time in a week, the Orioles have been swept by the Minnesota Twins. The Orioles are 11 games under .500 on May 15th. They entered today 25th in Runs Scored, and 27th in ERA. Ouch. It’s a horribly disappointing year. Give me a quick October exit anytime over irrelevance before Memorial Day. I expect that ’26 team will be rebound, and believe they can be a true contender. Even if that happens, that won’t completely erase the distaste from this year.

April Has Been A Disaster; 135 Games Left After Today

2 months ago | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Chris Stoner |Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles lost both games in a double-header yesterday in Detroit, meaning that win or lose today; the O’s are 1-6-2 in their first 9 series of 2025. Woof. There are 135 games left (83%) in the Orioles season after today, starting with a 3 game set to end April at home beginning tomorrow vs. the Yankees. I believe in the Orioles positional talent. I believe the rotation can stabilize. As such, I’m still of the opinion that t he O’s can turn their season around and reach the postseason.

Maryland Trying To Earn Their Way Back To The Elite

Mar 26, 2025 | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Chris Stoner

Sunday night, Derik Queen propelled the University of Maryland into the Sweet 16 with his buzzer beater vs. Colorado State. That was fun. There was elation in the moment. Had Queen’s shot gone awry, it would have been pretty disappointing. Give Colorado State all the credit they deserve; they played hard, and largely controlled the game. It was a typical NCAA Tournament game, where you can see the favored team is getting tight, and the underdog is reveling in the moment.
Random Orioles Thoughts Before Opening Day

Mar 23, 2025 | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Chris Stoner |Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles begin their 2025 season Thursday in Toronto. As the year begins, I think the O’s are the best team in the East, and probably the best team in the AL. I think they go 92-70, and steadily look increasingly more formidable as the year progresses. I’m not worried about Henderson starting the year on the IL. The O’s are just being cautious with their best player. I’m not worried about Bautista’s ‘health’, but I think his performance may be a bit up and down at-least the first few months.
Maryland Enters NCAA Tournament as 4-Seed

Mar 18, 2025 | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Zack Kiesel

Following a regular season which saw them finish with a record of 24-7 (14-6 Big Ten Conference), Maryland reached the Big Ten Tournament’s Semifinal Round for the first time since 2016 but failed to advance further after suffering a heartbreaking loss to Michigan. They were selected as the West Region’s 4-seed in the NCAA Tournament, and will face off against 13-seed Grand Canyon on Friday afternoon in Seattle. If they were to advance, they’d play the winner of 5-seed Memphis vs.
