🐢 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Happy Hollidays! When the Terps take on Mount Saint Mary’s on Wednesday, Johnny Holliday will once again be on the microphone. The contest will be his 1,500th Maryland men’s basketball game he’s called for an institution he holds dear. 

“I don’t think you can really put it into words,” Holliday said. “When I started back in 1979, I never ever envisioned 47 years later still doing the games. It’s an honor to represent the University of Maryland. To be able to be associated with head coaches and players and the athletic directors, you can’t make out how exciting, how gratifying it is. I love it.”

Maryland Legends and former NFL players Shawne Merriman and AJ Francis are hosting their annual canned food and coat drives, respectively, at the Maryland vs. Michigan football game on November 22!
