The Maryland Terrapins , commonly referred to as Terps, consists of 19 male and female athletic teams representing the University of Maryland, College Park at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I competition. Maryland was a founding member of the Southern Conference in 1921, founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1952, and now a member of the Big Ten Conference.
The nickname was coined in 1932 by Harry C. "Curley" Byrd, then the school's football coach and then the school president. Previously, the Maryland team was known as the "Old Liners" - a reference to the state nickname, "The Old Line State." However, the school newspaper, The Diamondback, wants a better nickname. Byrd thinks "Terrapins" is a good choice because of the endemic diamondback terrapin in the Chesapeake Bay area. Byrd's village in Crisfield is famous for its many terrapins along its shores. The school mascot is an anthropomorphic tortoise named "Testudo." The official team colors are red, white, black, and gold, derived from the flag of the state of Maryland. This is the only NCAA school that has four official school colors. On July 1, 2014, Terrapins became a member of the Big Ten Conference after a 62-year membership in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The University currently sponsors an athletic team in 20 sports men and women, who compete at the NCAA Division I level.

History
University of Maryland, College Park was founded in 1856 as Maryland Agricultural College. Baseball and soccer are played on campus as early as Civil War era. It was renamed Maryland State College in 1916, and in 1920, joined the state professional schools in Baltimore to become the University of Maryland. Between 1921 and 1953, the university was a member of the Southern Conference.
The long tension in the Southern Conference peaked in 1951, when it passed the ban on participation in bowl games in the middle of the football season. At the end of the regular season, Maryland and Clemson were invited and accepted an invitation to a postseason bowl game. The Southern Conference approved two schools with a one-year trial period in which they could not schedule any football match against the conference opponents. On May 8, 1953, Maryland became a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) at that time and six other schools chose to secede from the Southern Conference.
As a result of the committee's recommendation to cut athletic costs, funding for eight teams was removed on November 21, 2011, a move backed by Wallace Loh University President. However, the president also showed support for the Save the Program Campaign, which gives the team an opportunity to raise eight years of total program costs by 30 June 2012. The affected teams are cross-country, indoor tracks, and outdoor tracks, swimming and diving men, men's tennis, acrobatics and women's tugs, swimming and women's diving, and women's water polo. On July 1, 2012, the University officially cut seven of the team. The men's outdoor track team collected $ 888,000 from the $ 940,000 target amount, which is considered sufficient to avoid elimination.
On November 19, 2012, the University of Maryland Board of Directors decided to withdraw from the ACC to join the Big Ten Conference effective July 1, 2014.

Men's basket
Burton Shipley was the first and longest serving basketball coach in Maryland, but his long tenure from 1923 to 1947 was described as "very quiet". At the time, the sport was unpopular in the mid-Atlantic region and football and boxing were much better at attracting spectator sports on the Maryland campus. To capitalize on popularity, basketball games at Ritchie Coliseum are held as doubleheaders with boxing matches for 26 years. Bud Millikan became head coach in 1950 and soon led Maryland to a consistent honor in the Southern Conference. Defensive point defender Gene Shue averaged 22 points per game and his record score lasted for two decades. In 1955, the small Ritchie Coliseum was replaced by; the game was moved to the larger Cole Field House, located on campus, and when Maryland became a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), the fanbase quickly developed. Millikan's tenure peaked in 1958 when Maryland won the first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and advanced to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament.
In 1969, Lefty Driesell was employed by the University of Maryland. Drisell leads the Terrapins to eight NCAA Tournament performances, the National Invite tournament championship, two regular Atlantic Coast Conference season seasons, and one Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship. Maryland also achieved Associate Press No. rating. 2 for four consecutive seasons from 1972 to 1976.
Driesell trained Maryland Terrapins from 1969 to 1986. During his tenure, he managed to recruit many outstanding players, including Tom McMillen, Len Elmore, John Lucas, Albert King, Buck Williams and Len Bias.
In Maryland, Driesell started the current Midnight Madness tradition nationally. According to the old NCAA rules, college basketball teams are not allowed to start training until October 15th. Driesell has traditionally started his first practice on the condition that his players run a mile in six minutes but find that the players are too tired to practice effectively right away. After that. At 12:03 am on October 15, 1971, Driesell held a mile run on a track around the Byrd Stadium, where a crowd of 1,000 fans gathered after learning an unusual training session. The event soon became a tradition to build excitement for the upcoming season of the basketball team. Midnight Madness has been adopted by many national programs such as UNC, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State and Duke.
In 1972, Maryland beat Niagara, 100-69, to secure the National Invite Tournament championship. Driesell said that this season achieved the three goals he set for the program as he recruited: "national superiority", "national rank", and "national championship".
In the 1974 Asian Men's Basketball Tournament, Maryland was defeated by North Carolina State University in overtime hours, 103-100. Many consider it to be one of the greatest college basketball games of all time. North Carolina State University eventually won the 1974 National Championship. 4 in the Associated Press poll of the end of the season, prompting the NCAA to make an important decision in 1975. The NCAA tournament committee expanded the field from 32 to 48 teams, which opened the door for more than one team from the conference.
In 1984, Driesell led the team to the ACC Tournament Championship both schools. In December 1985, the university gave Driesell a ten-year contract extension. At the beginning of the same year, Driesell was made a member of the Honorary M Club. He ended his career in Maryland with an overall record of 348-159. The winning percentage of 686 is the best for Maryland coaches.
Gary Williams became head coach in 1989, bringing Maryland back to the national level after difficult years. In March 2010, Williams was the fifth active trainer in the country and the third most all-time winner of the ACC (behind only Dean Smith and Mike Krzyzewski). In 2002, Williams led the Terrapins to the first national championship program, beating Indiana, 64-52. Williams retired in May 2011 and Mark Turgeon was hired from Texas A & amp; M to be his successor.

Football
An unofficial football team made up of Maryland Agricultural College students played matches against local high schools in 1890 and 1891. The following year, the school gave its support, marking the official establishment of the Maryland football program in 1892. The football team continues today with the exception of a short hiatus in 1895. In 1894, former Maryland coach and player William W. Skinner spearheaded the establishment of the Maryland Inter-University Football Association, which served to reward the state football championship. Maryland hired D. John Markey as the first paid coach of football in 1902. HC "Curley" Byrd, who eventually served as university president from 1936 to 1953, began his team playing career in 1905. In 1911, Byrd was designated as head coach of football, and he served in that position until 1934. During his tenure, Byrd was instrumental in supporting the program, and in 1915 managed to raise funds for the first stadium of the school. In his position as university president, he is also responsible for building the current school football facility, Maryland Stadium.
In 1945, Paul "Bear" Bryant began his long and distinguished career as head coach of soccer at the University of Maryland. The following year, he was replaced by Jim Tatum, a pioneer of the T. Maryland soccer split achieving his greatest success under Tatum, who set a 73-15-4 record without a single season losing, and to date, he remains the most Maryland Coach in the modern era. The NCAA recognized selectors awarded Maryland national soccer championships in 1951 and 1953. During the Tatum period from 1946 to 1955, Maryland also earned one Southern Conference championship and two Atlantic Coast Conference championships. In 1962, Darryl Hill was transferred to Maryland from the United States Naval Academy, making the school the first team in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a black player. Jerry Claiborne became head coach in 1972, and led Maryland to three consecutive ACC championships from 1974 to 1976. Terrapins completed the regular season of 1976 with an unbeaten record of 11-0, but lost to Houston in the Cotton Bowl Classic, which ended national championships speculation. Bobby Ross replaced Claiborne in 1982, and he repeated the achievements of three successive ACC championships from 1983 to 1985. In 1984, Boston quarterback Frank Reich led the Terrapins to his biggest break-even comeback against national defending champion Miami. After a long drought bowl of the game, Ralph Friedgen was hired as head coach in 2001, and in his first season, led Maryland to the ACC championship and first appearance of the Bowl Championship Series game.
The football program has secured two NCAA-recognized national championships, nine ACC championships, two Southern Conference championships, eleven All-America consensus, and twenty-four bowl games. Maryland has the third most recent ACC championship with nine, which puts them behind Clemson (13) and Florida State (12). Many former players and coaches Terrapins have gone on to careers in professional football including the first 15 rounds of NFL Draft picks.

Wrestling
Prior to joining the Big Ten in 2014, Terrapins wrestling team won more ACC team championships than any other school in the conference, winning their 24th ACC title in 2012. The 2012 ACC Championship is the Fourth Terps' in the last five years. Maryland has finished in the top 20 at the NCAA Championships every year since the 2010 season and generated many Americans since 2009, the school record. There are six head coaches in Maryland history, currently led by two NCAA champions and twice Olympian Kerry McCoy now in his fourth year as head coach. XFINITY Center is the arena for the Terrapin Wrestling team.
Maryland has more than 200 ACC champions, 2 NCAA Champions and 18 NCAA all Americans. In 2010 Hudson Taylor became the first three times for all Americans with a fourth place finish in 1971. Spencer Myers became Maryland's first student in 2011 when he earned all American status with his sixth in heavyweights. The first wrestling team started in 1940 to compete in the Southern Conference, with Paul McNeil becoming the first champion of the Terps in the same year at £ 175.
The Maryland wrestling team was dominant in the ACC throughout the 1950s and 1960s and came back to claim two more conference titles in the late 2000s. However, in his first season in Big Ten, Maryland failed to win the Big Ten big game. After 13 attempts, Maryland finally won the first meeting of the Big Ten, January 10, 2016, against a conference of residents of Michigan State's eternal waiting room.

The Maryland Terrapins rugby team was founded in 1968. Maryland's best season was 1985, when Maryland played in the national championship finals, losing 31-6 from Cal. (See National Collegiate Rugby Championship results.) Maryland plays at the Atlantic Coast Rugby League, a conference set up in 2011 along with other Atlantic Coast Conference schools. The Terps is headed by head coach Jeff Soeken, who is three times All-American when he plays rugby for Maryland.

Maryland placed 10th in the 2012 Collegiate Rugby Championship (CRC), scoring victories against Penn State and Oklahoma. CRC is the highest-profile college rugby tournament in the country, held at PPL Park in Philadelphia and broadcast live on NBC. Maryland reached the semifinals of the ACI 7s 2012 tournament in Blacksburg.
Tradition
Rivalry
Songs and songs
Victory Song The Victorian Song of Victory was written in 1928 by Thornton W. Allen. It is often played during the game Terp Basket and Soccer. During the Football game, it is played after every touchdown of the Terps score, regardless of whether the team wins or loses, celebrates the immediate victory of the achievement. Ironically, the song "Victory" was played even after the defeat.
During the M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D section of the victory song, Terrapins fans show their fist, and alternatively pump them in the air, starting with their right fist on "M" and alternating between left and right with every letter from MARYLAND. The movement resembles someone who climbs a ladder.
Alma Mater & amp; Song Opponents Other official school songs include Alma Mater and Fight Song schools. Each is played at every home football game during the pregame celebration.
"Hey, You Suck!" The popular saying among students in Maryland is simple "Hey, You Suck!" directed at opponents. The students have entered the phrase into Gary Glitter's popular song "Rock and Roll Part Two" (often referred to as "Hey Song"). One time in the early 2000s, football coach Ralph Friedgen then requested that the song not be played in a football match. Friedgen had never liked to hear the song since he returned to College Park in 2001, and added that it hurt his recruitment efforts. In 2004, basketball coach Gary Williams followed Friedgen's lead and requested that the song not be played in a basketball game. While he personally liked the song, complaints from a large number of parents and grandparents have led him to conclude that it was too controversial. However, the students continued to sing songs without band support. Before every basketball game and after every touchdown in a soccer game, the audience sings a capella song. An alternative version, which grew out of the Duke-Maryland basketball competition, replaced the phrase "You Suck" with "Fuck Duke." Students often use alternative phrases during games against teams other than Duke and continue the tradition in the Big Ten Conference, even though the school no longer plays Duke.
Soccer and basketball
Key Screening In football matches, Terp fans also shake their keys to show urgency ("Key" Plays).
Fist Pump At the start of every men's basketball game during his tenure, Maryland coach Gary Williams will pump his fist to show a good game.
Midnight Madness Midnight Madness was originally started by Maryland Head Coach Lefty Driesell in 1970. Midnight Madness was held at the earliest time the Men's Basketball Team can practice, which is usually midnight on the first day of practice. The students will attend the exercise and over the years it has evolved into a circus-like atmosphere, including light shows, magic shows, the challenge of mascot trampolines, plays, food, drinks, and other fanfare.
Recently, Maryland and several other schools have moved early Midnight Madness into the early days - usually around 7 - with the permission of the NCAA, of course. This is to encourage more families and fans who are not even students to attend the event. As a result of this change, Midnight Madness has been renamed "Maryland Madness".
Shaking Newspapers The Maryland student tries to read the paper as the opposing team is being introduced. They shake the paper when the visitors are introduced.
Other sports traditions
The Crew The Crew is a group of male football fans. They generally sit behind the goal opposed by the opposing team (move side in the first half) and berate the opposing goalkeeper, referring to him by the official name (given). Crew members often travel to away games to continue supporting their Terps. The Crew also arranges activities to join the footballing environment.
The Turgeonites The Turgeonites are a group of students wearing a suit and tie with a gray line through the head of their head basketball coach Mark Turgeon. They can be seen in the student section behind the Maryland bench during every home game.
