Welcome to Terrapin Trail, The Diamondback’s new sports blog. Before getting too far along, it’s important to note what you, the reader, can expect from this blog when you come here for information and stories about Terp sports teams.
Terrapin Trail is not a fan blog. Reporters write every post for this blog, getting the information for their posts the same way they do for their stories: covering Terps sports teams on a daily basis, going to games, going to practice and doing interviews. This is an important point, because the level of access to the teams these reporters gain is limited to beat reporters from select media outlets, and the posts on this blog are reported and published solely on Terrapin Trail.
Terrapin Trail will be a place to find information, anecdotes and stories about Terp sports teams that don’t appear in The Diamondback. These will be stories that might have otherwise fallen through the cracks but add insight and perspective to the overall coverage of the teams. We’ll be posting about twice a day during the week to start, and we hope to grow from there.
The goal of this blog is to become a hub of information on these teams and a place for the reporters who cover them to interact directly with you, the reader. Feedback and comments are crucial to the success of any blog, and Terrapin Trail is no different. Your comments are strongly encouraged. The only way for us to figure out what’s working is through reader feedback, so please, let us know what you think.
That about wraps things up for now; come back later and look for the latest on Terp sports!
