As you might have imagined based on what you saw on television Saturday night, Jager Gardner's season is over. Rod Carey told me today on the AAC coaches' call that Gardner broke his ankle.
It seems Temple is dead set on adding a legitimate kicker to the roster for next year.
A quirky coincidence, ASU's kicker Brandon Ruiz has entered the transfer portal and happens to be the cousin of a friend. Come to find Temple has been all over him as I'm sure they're involved with several kickers. He's looking to grad transfer with two years of eligibility remaining. He's already visited LSU and Oregon without offers, but consider Temple now squarely in the mix.
Does anybody need tickets for the Uconn game? I will be down in Orlando and can't make the football game. Free to a good home. 4 tickets section 129 row 2. I can mail them today.
If the elements for targeting are a launch resulting in helmet-to-helmet contact on a defenseless player, how does that Cincinnati player not get tossed?
Woodrow Wilson linebacker Muheem McCargo officially announced his commitment to Temple. As we reported at the time, McCargo has been silently committed to Temple for a while but it's now out in the public.

McCargo had offers from Power 5 schools like Rutgers, Baylor, Boston College, NC State and Syracuse.
Last week an 8 point dog to Tulane at home!!!! Temple wins and we get ESPN 10 point dog as a reward.
No mention that Temple has owned Cincinnati that past 4 years. Lastly if Temple wins they could play for a conference championship.
Temple at No. 19 Cincinnati
Time: 7 p.m. ET How to watch: ESPN2 and ESPN App Line: Cincinnati -10 And our best line: Cincinnati can clinch the AAC East with a win. The Bearcats have never played in the AAC title game, which began with the 2015 season. The last time Cincinnati won the AAC was 2014, when it was co-champions with UCF and Memphis.
First time I have seen my Owls in person since they were out here to play UCLA in 2006 (they lost). Very proud of our team. They proved that tenacious and relentless defense can lead to wins over a more athletic, though young team. How many blocks did their center have? Seemed like a lot. And their shooting guard, #4, seemed like he couldn't miss. They beat a more athletic and better recruited team tonight. I consider it a signature win. Congrats to Coach and the players. We have no decent big man. No consistent outside shooter, a somewhat young team. Yet we came 3,000 miles and WON! I would like to imagine what we could do if we had their center and #4 as our shooting guard. But we hustled and played tenacious defense, and I'm very proud I braved the 17 mile trip from my home, which only took an hour and twenty minutes in legendary rush-hour LA traffic. Seriously. Yet, very well worth it.
I have Xfinity and live in Philadelphia and it looks like the PAC 12 network is set to show the Washington game live instead of the Temple USC game. The only broadcast I am seeing is on a tape-delay at 4am.
Does anyone know if we will have access to the live stream via the PAC 12 website?
In case you missed it out on the front page, BearcatReport.com Editor Jason Stamm answered some questions from us about Cincinnati and what the Owls are facing in tomorrow's game.
There is 1:46 on the clock when Tulane calls it's second time out of the second half. Coming up is 3rd down and 7 for the Owls at the TU 42 yard line. Tulane only has one time out remaining so it is clearly evident the Owls can force them to burn their last time out on the next play. All we have to do is call a run play and stay in bounds. A run play should burn at least 10 seconds if not more if we run off tackle or sweep. Then punt on 4th down and Tulane will have no time-outs remaining.
So what do we do? Throw an incomplete pass which stops the clock!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!
And then what do we do????? Punt the ball out of bounds?????
The result of this clock mismanagement is Tulane gets the ball back at their 29 with 1:34 on the clock, PLUS they still have one time out remaining. When Quincy Roche sacked the Tulane QB with 1:07 left on the clock Tulane calls their final time out. It is 4th & 16 at the Tulane 38 and this sequence should have eaten the entire available clock.
Very, very, very poor game time decisions. Anyone who has ever coached pee-wee or midget football would have known how to kill the time at the end of the game by using a run to force Tulane to use its' last time out before it got the ball back. We were lucky to win this one.
There are reports that there were death threats made against Penn State QB, Clifford after his loss to Minnesota. We have some, lively, heated debates on this website, but we would never stoop to the level of these PSU "fans". We Owls have far more class than that.
