The TUFF Fund

Good morning Owl fans:

As many of you know, the TUFF Fund was formed in the fall, with hopes of modernizing Temple Athletics through NIL. Over the past several months, we've signed over a dozen student-athletes, including all eligible Men's Basketball players.

We've decided to join OwlScoop so that we can provide information and resources directly to the most ardent and passionate Temple fans. We'll occasionally provide updates, whether it be signings, fundraising opportunities, events, or charitable initiatives that our student-athletes are involved with over the course of the year. We'll also answer questions to the best of our ability and within the guidelines of the NCAA and state of Pennsylvania.

I believe I'm preaching to the choir when I express how vitally important NIL is to the success of an athletics program. While it's been a slow build, I think that we are trending in a positive direction as a whole.

And while it's probably poor bedside manner to ask for something out of the chute, we currently have a donor who has graciously offered to match all funds up to $10,000 by the tip off on Sunday versus Houston. If you have the ability to do so, and many have already done so since it's gone live yesterday, please consider contributing. Our continued ability to demonstrate to the administration and the BOT that there is interest and a propensity to give to NIL will go a long way.

Owls(+1) on the road...

...at USF in another game they'll have to win if they expect to secure a top 4 in the American and a bye in conference tournament. I say this basically looking at the Memphis game as likely loss. This point spread has been bouncing around...saw Owls were favored by 1 earlier this morning. We are probably in for another sweat.

USF is 4-5 in AAC and 11-11 overall with zero quality wins and lost at home to Bethune-Cookman!

They rank #200 in NET where Temple is #129, FWIW.

Jayden Reid and our old pal, Jamie Reynolds are the players to watch.

Owls need some road wins...last one was at Rice and I believe the only other came at Hofstra.

I sure hope Dezonie is available tonight!

Taking mailbag questions until 2:30 p.m. today

Good afternoon, everyone.

We're taking mailbag questions until 2:30 p.m. today for this week's episode of The Scoop.

Most of this week's pod will consist of my interview with former ESPN NBA insider and new St. Bonaventure men's basketball GM Adrian Wojnarowski and ESPN's Kevin Negandhi as the Feb. 25 NIL event at Mitten Hall approaches, but we'll still talk about the men's and women's hoops teams and anything else you'd like to put on the agenda.

Thanks as always for listening!

Taking Scoop mailbag questions until 2:30 p.m. Tuesday

Good afternoon, everyone.

We're taking mailbag questions until 2:30 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) for this week's episode of The Scoop.

Although much of the pod will be centered around my interview with former ESPN NBA insider and new St. Bonaventure men's basketball GM Adrian Wojnarowski and ESPN's Kevin Negandhi as the Feb. 25 NIL event at Mitten Hall approaches, we're more than happy to continue to talk about the football program, the roster, coaches, recruiting and anything else you'd like to put on the agenda.

In case you missed it over the weekend, we put out an extra episode last week that includes my interview with former Temple kicker Maddux Trujillo.

Thanks as always for listening!

TUWBB

Nice win at Tulane today. The balance of their schedule is against teams in bottom half of the league. Interesting to see if Richardson can lead her squad to win out (she should, unlike what Fisher pulled earlier this week). If they want to stay part of the top 4 they basically have to.

Special episode of The Scoop with Maddux Trujillo

Had a lot of fun talking to Maddux Trujillo this week about the upcoming Specialist Showcase at the NFL Combine and much more. Find out why Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" is is secret weapon on big kicks and why he feels great about the future of the program.

K.C. Keeler, Part II

Just posted the second part of my interview with K.C. Keeler, which you can listen to here in case you missed it out on the front page.


Parts two and three will only be available to subscribers. I spoke with him for more than an hour Tuesday, so we decided to break up the interview into three parts, with the first being include in this week's episode of The Scoop.

Hope you enjoy it.

We'll have part three out tomorrow or Sunday.
