Breaking News: Temple To Join Conference USA
Published on: 20th August, 2010
It's one thing when an anonymous blogger throws out a rumor. Those kind of things happen all the time. It's another when a respected college football journalist like Rivals.com's Tom Dienhart does it, followed a few hours later by an assistant AD at Rice adding the "exciting news" coming later today ...Bernard Pierce: Temple Owls Would be Wise to Revisit Comic Book Idea
Published on: 9th July, 2010
Time being as fleeting as it is, I didn't realize that 1986 was so long ago until I tried to find the Paul Palmer Comic book I lost. The old comic book is somewhere, tattered I fear, in the middle of a whole bunch of Temple-related junk that I never really ...For Temple, Beating Penn State Would Be One Big Fat Win
Published on: 2nd July, 2010
At the risk of getting ahead of ourselves, I will take a moment to do just that. Let's talk about, say, the Penn State game three months from today. (Let me just say, before going any further, that beating Villanova is one million times more important than beating Penn State. It's ...Temple and Rutgers About to Renew an Old Rivalry
Published on: 29th June, 2010
Rivalries are a beautiful thing. I'm old enough to know when Temple and Delaware were rivals. One of my fondest days was spent in Newark, Del., when Temple beat Delaware 31-8 in front of a still-record and still-stunned crowd of 23,619. An even fonder day was Temple's 45-0 win in Newark on another ...Temple Fan Utilizes Facebook To Aid Bernard Pierce’s Heisman Hunt

I've never met David Sourber but, from what I gather, he beat me to the punch with what I thought was an innovative idea: create a "Bernard Pierce for Heisman" Facebook page. Type in "Bernard Pierce for Heisman Facebook" on Google and you are likely to find it. Sourber is from ...Al Golden Rewarded by the Temple Owls with a Contract Extension

I like the way Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw works; quietly and behind the scenes.I ran into Bill at the signing day function and mentioned something about head coach Al Golden's contract and Bill said, "Al Golden can have a contract extension any time he wants." Bradshaw didn't elaborate, and he ...Two Plus Two Equals a 4 PM Start For Temple-Villanova

So I'm driving on I-76 today and thinking how it's too bad I don't have a digital camera. It's raining like crazy on the Schuylkill Expressway and I see a Temple billboard that proclaims "Friday, Sept. 3" as the date of the home football opener with Villanova. That called for a photo, ...NCAA Football: Checking in on Temple and How the Owls Can Improve
Published on: 10th March, 2010
Every once in a while, I check in with what Temple coach Al Golden has to say on Twitter. According to Al's latest tweet, the coaching staff is in the film room right now. "Spring practice is getting close," Al said. "Only a couple of weeks for the staff to fine tune ...The ABCs of Temple Football Recruiting
Published on: 16th February, 2010
If you listen to Temple University head football coach Al Golden—and I try to do that every chance I get, whether it's on signing day or Fan Fest or Cherry and White day, whenever—you will become conversant in what I call Goldenspeak. "Core values"...you'll hear that a lot. "Going forward"...that's another favorite ...Temple Delivers Largest TV Bowl Ratings in Philly Since 2007
Published on: 7th January, 2010
A couple of days ago, I dashed off a note to Philadelphia Inquirer TV writer Mike Klein and asked him to get the ratings for Temple's EagleBank Bowl football game with UCLA. I thought they'd be high because Temple always did well on TV when Paul Palmer was going for the Heisman ...Featured Sponsors
