One of Randy Edsall's goals in his final year at Susquehannock High School in Glen Rock, Pa., was to be named to the Pennsylvania roster for the Big 33 Football Classic. Although he wasn't selected for the 1976 game despite being an all-state quarterback, the Maryland football coach was ecstatic last October when he learned the state of Maryland would return to the high school football all-star game this year. The Maryland Football Coaches Association signed a five-year agreement with the Big 33 Scholarship Foundation, Inc., last fall to renew the state's participation in the game after a 21-year hiatus.

There was a questionable forecast for Thursday night, making an evening boat cruise out of Annapolis an uncertainty for Maryland football coach Randy Edsall and a couple of his counterparts who came from College Park to schmooze with fans over dinner and drinks. But the winds settled and the luxury yacht "Catherine Murray" took off for a smooth hourlong sail on the Severn River. After a rocky start to his tenure with the Terps , Edsall should hope that the second installment of the school's "Coaches Caravan" portends well for his third season and beyond.

He was as familiar as road signs or street names to Howard County motorists. If you commuted to work, drove to the mall or picked up the kids at school, Walkin' Randy was everywhere and anywhere.Randy Christopher Sands, 37, who friends say found freedom in walking, was found dead on Valentine's Day in his Columbia apartment. County police, unsure how he died, are awaiting a medical examiner's report."I think Howard County as a whole has lost a little bit of its character with Randy," said Andrea Ingram, executive director of the Grassroots homeless shelter, which had been looking after him during the past 4 1/2 years.

Fred Flintstone was there. So were Uncle Sam, the Grim Reaper and Marilyn Monroe. An alien from a far-off planet dropped in. Even Miss America 1994 made an appearance.It seems nobody wanted to miss Loretta Metzler and Randy Bruner's wedding. Seven years in the planning, the costumed affair was held, appropriately enough, on Halloween. Loretta and Randy chose a Halloween episode of one of their favorite television series, "Beauty and the Beast," as the theme for their wedding, deciding the day would be complete only if they dressed the part.

He was born in Accomack County, VA and moved to Baltimore in 1952. He worked at the Bethlehem Steel Company in a variety of positions including Ship Fitter and Industrial Relations Specialist. In 1979 he retired and started his own business, which he continued to operate until his recent illness. Randy is survived by his wife, Selma, daughters Iris Adams and Sophia Claggett, a granddaughter, Cierra Claggett and sons-in-law Lionel Adams and Kenny Claggett.

At 17, Randolph S. Albright already has won several awards for his photography, taken pictures in Europe and Russia, and had two of his creations purchased by a Hollywood celebrity.Not bad for a guy who received a D in a high school photography class."Let's just say I had aesthetic differences with the teacher," said Randy, who recently graduated from Baltimore County's Carver Center for Arts and Technology in Towson.Randy, who lives in Reisterstown, was named an outstanding arts student in the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program.

Alayna LeVee turns 2 months old today, the day her parents will be buried. In death, as in life, Russell "Randy" LeVee and Kimberly LeVee will be inseparable. He was 28 and she was 29 when they died in a motorcycle accident Friday. Two close-knit families gathered yesterday at the Duda-Ruck funeral establishment in Dundalk to mourn a young couple who became well-known in the darts leagues of eastern Baltimore County. They were on their way to a darts tournament at a Fraternal Order of Police lodge about 7:20 p.m. Friday when a passenger car driven by a 61-year-old man made a left turn off Harford Road and into the path of their yellow Suzuki.

On Orioles pitcher Daniel Cabrera While he'll probably never be another Randy [Johnson] ... he has outstanding stuff and great potential. Now let's see him duplicate the effort all year long when the season starts. It looks like he is definitely being aggressive in the strike zone and continuing to get good results.

In a perfect world, Randy Edsall can envision the day when the Maryland football team plays before packed crowds at Byrd Stadium, when the Terps challenge perennial powers in their league, when he and his staff attract most of the top high school talent in the state as well as from other parts of the country. Then Edsall quickly snaps out of that world and gets back to reality. And back to work. This is Edsall's reality right now: the Terps have won just six games in his first two seasons since he replaced Ralph Friedgen, four of the victories coming in the first six games of last season before injuries decimated his team, particularly at quarterback.

Randy Edsall has been committed to growing Maryland's brand ever since he took the job in College Park more than two years ago. The state flag was already printed across the Byrd Stadium end zones when he arrived on campus, but that wasn't enough. The football coach unveiled state flag-inspired "Maryland Pride" uniforms for his first game on the sideline and replaced the Terps moniker with Maryland on both the field and jerseys. On Saturday afternoon, he'll unveil another part of his plan.

As a "Say Yes to the Dress"-er, I'm very familiar with all of the staff at the famous bridal boutique Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. In fact, I'll be heading back to the big city in a few weeks for alterations on the dress I bought with help from the show's consultant Camille. Many brides don't get the opportunity to travel out of town for their dress and while there are many wonderful shops in and around Baltimore to find the perfect fit, the hype around Kleinfeld Bridal is something unique to itself.

Don't let the vintage sign hanging above Randy & Steve's The New General Store on Main Street in Ellicott City fool you. Everything inside is -- as their name suggests -- “new” but with an old-fashioned touch. After closing The Good Life Market on nearby Tonge Row and taking a two-year sabbatical in Madeira, Portugal, Randy Neely and his partner, Steve Archuleta, returned to downtown Ellicott City to open a store in the former location of Yates Market, which had been a Main Street mainstay for more than 100 years.

Maryland unveiled a 22-man recruiting class today in College Park. Here are some notes from Randy Edsall's news conference. ** It was a “pretty uneventful” Signing Day, Edsall joked before discussing the Maryland decisions made Wednesday by Friendship Collegiate Academy linebacker Yannick Ngakoue, Suitland wide receiver Taivon Jacobs and Avalon School defensive back Jacquille Veii . “I think that makes a big statement,” the...

Randy Moss returned to the NFL for games like this, not performances like Sunday night's. Five days after Moss proclaimed himself the best wide receiver of all time, he spent most of Super Bowl XLVII as an on-field spectator for the San Francisco 49ers, unable to make the plays necessary for the first championship of his 14-year career. Moss left the Mercedes-Benz Superdome after a 34-31 loss to the Ravens with just two catches for 41 yards. His biggest impact came on a 32-yard gain early in the fourth quarter - a great catch, but not enough for one of self-proclaimed greatness.

Quote: "It'll be a tough assignment, no question. Arizona is a good club and Randy, obviously, is a good pitcher." - Atlanta pitcher Tom Glavine on facing Randy Johnson Friday in a quest for his 20th victory. It's a fact: The Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates are the first three major-league teams to be eliminated from postseason competition. Who's hot: St Louis pitcher Garrett Stephenson (16-8) won for the fifth time in his last six decisions last night. Who's not: Pedro Astacio gave up six runs on six hit in 1 1/3 innings in a loss Sunday.

Randy Shircel, a student at the Howard School of Technology, is well on his way to realizing his dream of opening his own four-star restaurant.The 18-year-old Elkridge student will compete in the National High School Recipe Contest this weekend with 19 others at the Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island, the world's largest culinary arts school. The top prize: A full scholarship to the prestigious school, worth more than $37,000 over four years."I'm nervous and excited," Randy said.More than 500 students from across the United States submitted recipes in hopes of being picked as one of 20 finalists in the three-day cook-off contest, which has two categories: dinner for four, and desserts.

The San Francisco 49ers' Randy Moss said Tuesday that he is the best wide receiver to ever play in the National Football League. On Sunday night, he might not even be the best receiver in the game, but he could have the biggest impact. No offense to Moss, he is probably the second best receiver in history. Statistically, only Jerry Rice is better when it comes to receiving touchdowns (197 to 156) and Moss' 15,292 receiving yards are third behind Rice's 22,895 and Terrell Owens' 15,934.

Washington State is barely on anyone's radar when it comes to college football, so fans on the East Coast might not be following what has transpired in Mike Leach's first season in Pullman. It has a striking resemblance to Randy Edsall's first season in College Park.  After a 2-1 start - including a win over Football Championship Subdivision power Eastern Washington - the Cougars are in free fall, having lost their last seven games, and they've gone winless in the Pac-12 Conference.
