Another college football season is upon us and it’s not farfetched to say it will be the final of its kind. In recent months, there has been a total upheaval of college football conferences. It’s resulted in a brand new era with obscure realignment and a break from tradition. Everything is changing: the conferences, the […]
Each year, on the eve of Temple’s home opener, I write an article similar to this one. It begs and pleads with anyone who listens to ensure that in the near future, Temple’s home opener occurs at a stadium on campus. This year, my sixth year doing so, I would be remiss if I didn’t […]
Since Temple last played a home game at Lincoln Financial Field in front of fans, the entire landscape of college football has changed. COVID-19 rocked the NCAA docket, almost cancelling the 2020 season. The NIL law was passed so that players can now be compensated based on their likeness. The conferences have once again re-aligned […]
We’ve finally reached a day most of us at some point this year doubted we would make it to: the Temple football season opener. This is my 4th time writing this blog, begging Temple to build a stadium on their campus. But boy oh boy, would I be remiss if i didn’t acknowledge that […]
Over the weekend, I had a brilliant idea that would benefit many sports fans in the city but primarily, Temple Football and the University as a whole. Finally build the on-campus stadium they clearly desire and rent it out to an XFL expansion team in Philadelphia. A new, state of the art 30,000 seat stadium […]
Once upon a time on a hot day in October of 2015, the Temple Owls hosted their in-state rival Penn State Nittany Lions at the Linc. In what was expected to be a typical Penn State dismantling of Temple, the Owls dominated and sacked Nittany Lion quarterback Christian Hackenberg 10 times. It was Temple’s first […]
With the dawn of a new college football season comes a dawn of yet another regime for Temple. The footprints of Matt Rhule have now faded. The only remnants of his stay in North Philly are the widespread success stories who played for him, now in the NFL. Geoff Collins and all his gimmicks have […]
Fran Dunphy was an extremely nice guy and was awesome for the Temple/Philly community. In fact, without him, I’m not sure I end up at Temple. On one of those accepted students days we ran into him at the intramural court where he was running a charity tournament. We said hello, we introduced ourselves, and […]
After an unreal day of gambling yesterday, I feel morally obligated to run it back. I walked out of work yesterday with more gambling money than I made hourly. Runs like this are why we play. Scared money don’t make money. Once again we have three of the Big 5 schools playing on the same […]
After a brief hiatus we are back in the saddle this weekend ladies and gentleman. Not a great showing before taking 2 weeks off and I hate giving out losers so I had to wait and get hot again. Good news is the end of the regular season of college basketball is upon us. March […]
