Way better than that 10th grade diamond design.

nice pitch and catch

Sounds like Haye is out for the season and no return idea if Morris makes it back this year. Miles looks likely out as well for the year. DL will be undersized and lacking depth for a while.

Sounds like Stewart still out and Anderson and Wright are possibly out as well. Dandridge is out, the freshman as well.

Rigby still day to day and Woodbury did not return in last week's game.

It sounds like a lot of younger players are going to get some opportunities.

They are on central time (so why it says 11 a.m.).

Today's Inquirer shed light on Villanova's BB program. The title of the article was, "In new world, Villanova is in essence a pro team." Their players are receiving at least roughly $75k on top of their scholarships. They have a freakin' general manager to focus on getting financing, and they have wealthy alums willing to fork over the bucks to support the program.
I haven't heard that Temple has any kind of infrastructure for reaping the rewards of NIL, nor does it seem that there enough interested wealthy alums to care enough to support the program.
Temple needs to clean house and have a BOT who are avid supporters of our sports teams and are willing to do whatever it take to make it so. We need to stop thinking we are a small time program and start acting like the giant institution that it is. It's time to act first and ask permission later.

Some recruiting news from the weekend in case you missed it out on the front page.

Rod Carey was just named OC at Indiana. The former OC must have been a real dumpster fire.

JDC:

Not sure if there will be an episode of the scoop this week with the game on Thursday, but if you are taking questions, I would like to have your analysis of what you have seen from the staff in their halftime adjustments as well as Stan Drayton's clock management and seeming reluctance to use time outs at the end of the first half.

Well, here's your time to react and tell us what's on your mind. 😁

We're taking mailbag questions for this week's podcast until 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon.

Warner exploring options. And what’s eith glove on throwing hand?

Good morning, everyone.

We're taking mailbag questions for this week's episode of The Scoop until 1:30 p. m. Friday afternoon. Although we'll be talking lots of football following the Temple-Tulsa game, we're also happy to talk some hoops with the first days of fall practice tipping off this week.

So if you want to talk about the roster, recruiting or anything at all, please drop it in here.

And a reminder that you can subscribe to The Scoop and listen on all of the major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts.

Temple reached into its back of tricks and grabbed the only thing it could find, naming Dick Englert interim president ... again.

Nice pass and catch

• Three Hurricanes w/i seven days! Last week the Owls got beat by two hurricanes, one natural, the other man made
• This week is simple, stop the run and run the football
• Tulsa offense ranks 4th in AAC rushing vs TU at 12th
• Tulsa defense ranks 4th in stopping the run vs TU at 13th, trench warfare
• It is time for the Single Digits to shine, can somebody step up and earn #9?

O-line shows up to play their best game of the season. Despite giving up explosive run plays, the D stiffens in the red zone.
Owls win, 29 - 22

I didn‘t see this yet on owlsports so why I linked UTSA’s site (which says 1 p.m. central time). Game is on ESPN+.

I talked to Joe Klecko for about 10 minutes at yesterday's game. You can check out our interview here in case you missed it on the front page.
