Sounds like I have picked the perfect time to jump onboard and become a Ravens fan.  No bandwagon fan here!

Still not sure Cowan can be a really good PG and that is the key position in college basketball.  I expect Heurter and Jackson to take big jumps next year. The freshman big man will he a big help, not so sure about the guard Morsell helping much as a freshman.   One knock of Turge that I think has merit is the lack of player development, few seem to improve dramatically over the years.

Xavier is making a run but it ends soon.  Looking at the teams playing this weekend it's clear the Terps don't come close to matching the athleticism we are seeing now.  And those teams don't have their star player go 1-9 from 3.

Melo is gone and he hopes to cash checks overseas.   Nothing wrong with that at all, I wish him well.

I'm on a Terp board and don't understand the entitled attitude.  They want a coach fired after 3 straight tourney appearances, makes no sense to me.

You are going to be on preview for the first 15 posts as IM sure you read when you signed up.    An ancient  established community is Here on Scout  an infusion of new blood is needed.  Once you are approved there you can post to your hearts content

Oh I did not  mean to appear as if I was complaining.   I've been a mod and totally get that you need to make sure a new poster isn't here to sell Ravens gear made in Thai sweatshops.  Just looking for a home.  Interesting you would link another site, is there a relationship between the two?

I've watched NFL Network's combine coverage and the drafts and I can't stand all of the yuk-yuk that goes on. Every once in awhile you will actually get some decent insight on a player. I watch their NFL total access which seems to think there are only 3-4 teams in the NFL and it seems they are purposely targeting the LCD (lowest common denominator) with their antics.

You have to love it when an "analyst's" opinion starts with, "Dude need to get PAID!"

Why do you think this player can help team X? "Yo, dude is just a baller. You get this man here and he can do everything for you."

Gee thanks. Let me go drink about 10 beers so I can join in the fun and understand all the gibberish.

This is how I feel most of the articles on this site are written. They are written with (my opinion) a notion that the fans don't know anything about the players, the team, or the game of football. This is why I feel the message board community is so valuable because it allows for some more intellectual conversations.

As for, "Well, all the other teams are ditching their message boards..." Since when did the Ravens become followers and not leaders? Since when did we want to become just like everybody else?

Boy you nailed the NFL Network, it is geared to the 26 year old while alienating the older viewer.  Unwatchable for me.

New board is just getting started, not much action.   My posts here are still under mod approval in case I say stupid stuff.  Redskins are still owned by Daniel Synder.   I feel so....so....alone.

Ahhhh Mt Airy is Ravens country anyways. Welcome aboard. Gotta hate the Skins man. They didn't want us to have a football team.

Probably picking the wrong battle here but how was that any difference than the O's blocking baseball in DC?  Washington adopted the Orioles, Baltimore rejected the Redskins.

lol.....Welcome Dave. I grew up a Colts, Os fan in Skins country, so I know first hand you have made the right move!

Will your new home be offering refreshments?  It's Girl Scout cookie season you know.

As I live in Carroll County a few times a year the Skins were not on Comcast so I had to break out the backup TV with rabbit ears.   It will be nice not to have to do that but I had to do it, I have missed 2  1/2 Redskins games in 45 years and only because of circumstances I could not control.

Thanks for the welcome.   This move goes against everything I stand for as a hardcore sports fan.  You pick a team when you are 8, you have one and only one team in each sport, and that's your team for life win or lose.  And with the Wiz, Maryland Football, Redskins etc I took plenty of shots as I stuck by my rules.  But this is different,  just can't root for anything but failure for those 2 in Ashburn.  

LOL.  I have been a Redskins fan since '71 and over the past 4-5 years have been warming to the Ravens.  These last few weeks have been the final straw with Daniel Snyder and I have decided to move my support to the Ravens.  Not exactly an easy decision.

So I found this board and registered, only to learn that it is shutting down.  I'm not having a good week.
