Temple got just a December 22nd bowl game? They obviously haven't arrived yet.
Yeah, that is embarrassing. They went from top of the world to crashing down REAL quick. Best season they'll ever have and they get rewarded with a friday night game against Toledo. Ouch.
Temple fans are claiming their team next year will be better than this year!7PM Eastern / ESPN
Obvioulsy we now know who dwiz is ... Steve Harvey!!Also embarrassing: today's TUESDAY NOT FRIDAY!
Ah, ILLINOIS, I was having a perfectly good day and then you had to bring up TEMPLE. For me, that's like waiving a red cape in front of a bull. As is my custom, I won't be watching the game but I will follow the score. Over the course of this season I have come to love and respect the Temple football tradition, and their millions of fans, so I predict Temple will win 56-3.7PM Eastern / ESPN
Arrived? They haven't even gotten on the bus.Temple got just a December 22nd bowl game? They obviously haven't arrived yet.
Considering the mental ability of the average Temple fan, it's hard to understand how they come to any conclusion.Temple fans are claiming their team next year will be better than this year!
Not clear how they come to this conclusion, however, with their leaders on defense, leaving.
Being a big Temple fan, I'm with you Jim. GO OWLS!Ah, they had a great year, a lot of fun for their fans. My best friend from Levittown is an Owl and there was a lot of texting back and forth. Terrific guy, Bob, 100% loyal, so, Go Owls!!!

Ah, but my Temple lads have had extra time to prepare for these ToledoCome on, come on, come on.....you gotta know any / every team in the country can score a minimum of 10 points on Temple.....after all, PSU did!

They don't have great tie-ins with their conference. When they lost the conference championship, they reviewed their options and sought out tonight's game. In interviews with the coach and AD after the bowl announcements, they indicated that they had focused on this game, and how happy they were to get it.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has done a lot of advance coverage of this game. I think it will be a close game, in part because the 2 teams are in many ways mirror images of each other.
Go Owls. Our bowl game last year was in the Bronx, in a baseball stadium. So....we are not that far removed from having to accept what we could.
It was close to New Year's Day and therefore played in the heart of the real bowl season. It also was a good match-up. I know some folks have an issue with a bowl game being played in NYC, in a baseball stadium, no less, but I thought it was great (I was there).

Once again, expect something in your mail from Tim Curley, Ed DeChellis, and Uncle Larry Fall, regarding copyright infringement of the term "turn the corner"....Temple may have turned a corner to becoming a decent program. Primarily by Rhule not leaving. The team will not be as good next year but will be good enough to give us a game. Will be nice to see if our BB program can have a year like Temple football just had. Yep, any day now
Screw the BigTen. We are a bowl draw regardless of conference, or lack thereof (as an Independent), just as Pitt and Temple are not, regardless of conference.Thank the B1G for our game.
Needless to say, I'm with you on this.I thank the B1G for nothing: I despise the conference, everyone in it, and every single thing about it.
As always, I will be rooting for every team that plays them in every bowl game, and will be throwing parties when each one of them loses.
Go Bama, Roll Tide.
What a bunch of losers. I hope they enjoyed the ride because their crappy program is going back to the ghetto of college football in 2016.Temple got just a December 22nd bowl game? They obviously haven't arrived yet.
Don't tell them: Somehow they are going to be much better next year, simply reloading to make up for the 6 missing starters on offense, 7 missing starters on defense, and both kickers.What a bunch of losers. I hope they enjoyed the ride because their crappy program is going back to the ghetto of college football in 2016.

Yes...because higher star ratings mean so much more than actually winning games?One of my friends, a pitt fan, was texting me when Toledo was beating Temple that since Toledo is better than Temple they must be better than PSU. My response was that Toledo winning was actually bad for pitt since Toledo and pitt go head to head for the leftover recruits from oh-high-ya and PA..... When I later looked over pitt's commits there are a surprising number of them that pitt actually did go head to head with against Toledo. pitt managed to win those battles but look out for Toledo now!!!
You lose 7 of those 11 players next year, and all of your team leaders and play makers.10 sacks...
Did Zettel ever show up this season?
It amazes me that even after the "best team in Temple history" finished with 4 losses, including a blowout in a "no one cares" bowl game, some of their fans feel a need to seek justification for their pathetic program by visiting here and casting stones. They are Rutgers "light". A program with no history, no fans, and no hope. Not even Matt Rhule can save this train wreck.You lose 7 of those 11 players next year, and all of your team leaders and play makers.
See you next fall at Beaver Stadium.
