Toddy is in the transfer portal.

In addition to the stories about the late Kobe Bryant that he shared with reporters after practice yesterday, Aaron McKie talked to Graham and I about the team itself and provided some updates heading into tonight's game at UConn, and we have that audio on The Scoop.

You can listen to it here.

We'll be recording this week's podcast around 4:30 or 5 p.m. today.

If you have football-related mailbag questions, send them over to us and we'll answer them on the show.

Thank you all for listening. We greatly appreciate it.

Thank you as always for listening!

I don't remember any of his teams looking this bad. May not all be coaching, but Aaron must take some of the blame.

vs a 7-7 Ivy League squad...oy vey. This is what it's come too. Guess we haven't bottomed out yet.

Anyone concerned we may be seeing JPL in the transfer portal? At this point it makes no sense to be giving Alani the majority of minutes at point. He has absolutely no upside. This season is fried. Give Josh the experience now. Let him learn on the job with the hope he will be able to contribute more next year.

Who is to blame for the lack of promotion? Why is Temple so complacent?

Play a nostalgia game at McGonigle every year (not my idea but someone on this board), bring back the greats....Sell it out and make it a big deal.

Move all Big five games to the Palestra, make a play to the local basketball fan that Temple is Philadelphia and the Big Five is the Palestra. Get ahead of this and Temple wins this narrative.

Bribe the students to the Liacouras and give them one side of the prime seats, make the place exciting. Put that on TV not empty seats.

Invite entire local schools to basketball games for free (Nobody is coming to ECU, Tulsa ...etc)!!! Give them the upper deck. Build Temple University and the brand. Are we concerned we may miss out on a couple dozen ticket sales?

Build a Temple brand that people want to be around, then you can ask for their $.

What a complete embarrassment to be so inept.

I was a “Dunphy hater” - his failures are well documented and I stand by the change. Mckie needs to be held to the same standard. Based on recruiting and in game coaching and his assistants hired - He’s worse then Dunphy. Unfortunately he might be here for a few years before the university admits it’s mistake.

Sam Cohn put together a midseason report story on the team and how the Owls have fared so far in Aaron McKie's first season. It's up on the front page now and you can check it out here.

I remember Coach Chaney's first season at Temple. I was a proponent of his hiring, so his 14-15 first season was a disappointment. However, in year 2 he was 26-5 and undefeated in the conference. And things continued to get even better after that.

Someone’s gotta start it.

They have more than 20 in the portal. Any of them we should be interested in?

Both of these teams would blow the doors off of us. Not good.

Rose and Perry potentially out tomorrow. Anyone have details?

PSU DE Daniel Joseph has entered the portal. Not sure if we have any interest but need all the help we can get from older players on the DL - especially DE. PSU also had a DT recently enter the portal.

In case you missed it in the Injuries thread ...

When's the last time a Temple team beat the #1 team in the nation in any sport?
