Summary and notes:

Today in the SVP Lounge, hosts CT Schwink, Eric Garland, and Zack Kieselconvene before Maryland football’s first game of the season against Howard. The guys give the only three available pieces of information on the internet about Howard’s football team, take a look at the week one depth chart, discuss Perry Hills’ love of Dominos and more.

(Follow the show on Twitter, and discuss this episode on the BSL Board here.)

Topics discussed include:

• Can you find out anything about Howard football online? Zack has a few nuggets about the matchup
• The guys are excited for college football’s inaugural weekend
• CT has new sounds on the board
• Depth chart for the first game dropped
• William Likely, Jake Funk and Tino Ellis listed on both sides of the ball at safety and corner, respectively
• Likely listed as a co-starter at wide receiver, there is buzz surrounding it
• Lorenzo Harrison seems to be the odd running back out and a candidate for a redshirt
• DeAndre Lane beats out Levern Jacobs for the slot receiver position, Jacobs moves to a back-up position as an outside receiver
• Eric’s beer explodes
• Darnell Savage Jr. starting over Josh Woods at safety
• Qwuantrezz Knight has the best name on the team, he’s among the many young DBs that will get a shot this year
• D.J. Durkin lands another four-star recruit in DeMatha offensive tackle Marcus Minor. It’s taken years for any kind of DeMatha pipeline to open
• The Diamondback asked some of the football players where they eat around College Park. Perry Hills loves Dominos
• What’s everyone looking for on Saturday?
• CT and Eric will be in Lot 9B to tailgate. Eric is a butt-in-seat-at-kick-off kinda guy. CT is a tailgate lingerer. Zack will be with the Pride by Mowatt
• The guys try talking about the Big Ten basketball conference schedule, but admit their heads and hearts are with football
• Surprise sound drop

Summary and Notes:

Today in the SVP Lounge, hosts CT Schwink, and myself (Eric Garland), talk to Daniel Gallen – who’s been covering the Terps for the Baltimore Sun and Carroll County Times – about what he’s seen at Maryland fall camp, how Perry Hills looked at Saturday’s open scrimmage, what’s surprised him thus far, reasons to worry as the season progresses and why he’s hemorrhaging followers. Plus, CT and Eric are going to Orioles-Nationals in D.C., discussing a potential Maryland-Rutgers trophy game, and I have never seen GUTS.

(You can discuss this on the BSL Board here.)

Topics discussed include:

• CT and I hung out on H Street last weekend
• I went to Camden Yards for Orioles-Nationals, he and CT both going to the final game of the series in D.C.
• CT always buys Flying Dog’s Snake Dog at Nationals Park. The high ABV gives you a lot of bang for a high priced beer at a baseball game
• Rutgers wants a rivalry trophy with Maryland, I am intrigued
• CT says the trophy should be a piece of asphalt like the Aggro Crag from GUTS. I don’t know what GUTS is
• The guys welcome Daniel Gallen to the SVP Lounge
• From a guy who’s been around the football program for several years, what’s the difference in the vibe between Randy Edsall and D.J. Durkin?
• Gallen says that Perry Hills looks like a capable quarterback, there was less of an overhaul this year that last. If we see improvement, it will be on the little things he did wrong last year
• Caleb Rowe hasn’t been as much of a factor in the quarterback competition due to injury
• What’s Gallen’s running back pecking order? Ty Johnson looks great, having lost 21 pounds during the offseason. Might see as many as five guys, at least early on
• Gallen is most surprised to see Shane Cockerille playing linebacker after playing quarterback. Team intensity, body transformation is very noticeable. Worries that the intensity could be backfire, it’ll be interesting to see how they respond to superior teams in tough spots
• Denzel Conyers should be back for Howard
• CT wonders if Gallen’s tired of Maryland sports, he says no, will continue to watch
• Gallen’s lost followers since he took his new job
