Hi, everyone!

It's Tuesday and we're recording our next episode of The Scoop, our weekly podcast, at 5 p.m. Send us your mailbag questions and we'll answer them on the show.

Thanks as always for listening!

The tight end transfer from Pitt is now eligible to play? Seems unusual for a waiver to come during the season.

Tighten up on the dumb penalties and the skies the limit. If you feel brave enough, please gives us the Owls’ losses.

For what it's worth, it's a "blackout" game.

Isaiah Wright, Branden Mack and Sam Franklin have been awarded single digits, Temple announced in a press release. The actual numbers that Wright, Mack and Franklin will wear will be assigned next week. There are still four single-digit jerseys to be assigned.

It's likely that we'll be scheduling home and home agreements with UConn in FB, MBB, and WBB for future years.

For football, that will continue the formula of 2 P5's, one G5 (or indy), and one FCS opponent in our footprint. For MBB, it gives us a familiar opponent with a national, though fading, brand. For WBB, it gives us a 40 pt loss.

When will Randle Jones be back, this should help the passing game?

There goes the reason for hiring an experienced coach instead of an "up and comer" coordinator ... because "we don't have to watch him learn on the job".

Special Teams stink because he wanted "his guy". (instead of the best guy)
Both offense and defense were unprepared for the opponent.
So insecure about the offense that he's handing the ball off to a linebacker. (yuck)
It was a MAC team! (even though not from the familiar, and weak, West Division)

we have a winnable game at ECU but again if Temple doesn’t come to play then it can easily be an L . Remember Buffalo ? Then comes Temples gauntlet for the season with games against Memphis , SMU and UCF right in a row .

I am really down on the passing attack . The QB had to be more accurate and not throw into double and triple teams . The passing scheme has to include the tight end and running backs enough to keep the defenses honest . Temple has to run to throw and be dedicated to run the football. If you can keep the ball enough to win the time of possession then you are really helping an already good defense .


It is now show time . Fifth game of the year coming up . No excuses

Go Owls!

Does that score tell you where we are to the elites of college football ? We barely beat them at home and then were drubbed by Buffalo .

We have a long way to go to be a top 25 program and hopefully it can start against GT . We need to compete in the American this year .

The dearth of predictions about tomorrow's game leads me to suspect most here are as post traumatic stressed as I after last week's debacle.

Temple 31, Georgia Tech 21.

Could list reasons but they would simply be those cherry picked to rationalize my instinct and hunch. Will be curious, tho, to see how this three quarterback approach plays out.

GO Owls

We were driving, and then . . .

While Temple clearly did not play well yesterday, Carey keeping the players from talking to the media after the game seems to be the biggest non-game story. There are media tweets calling Carey out and it was in the headlines of one of the stories on the front of Owlscoop.

Is this something Carey did at NIU? Did the prior coaches at Temple do this at all (or regularly)? Are college players required to talk to the media? I know the leagues can fine the pros for skipping out (and know college kids aren’t getting fined but not sure if the league would reprimand Temple or something)....

Available until they aren’t. We’ll meet on Tailgate Row.

Let's pummel this wannabe CMO into waffle mix.

It was announced in the last 24 hours that former Plymouth Whitemarsh learning the game 7 footer Naheem McLeod has left the Florida State Seminoles basketball team - grades/eligibility related.

I just thought this was interesting.

I'm always curious what the analysis and commentary is on the opposition site (not to flame, as I only generally only respond if I see a particularly egregious or disrespectful comment), but curiously, when I go to the pull-down menu for other schools and click on Georgia Tech, it takes me to the Navy site.

Kyle and I will be recording around 5 p.m. today. If you have mailbag questions for us, send them here and we'll answer them on the show. There's a lot to discuss, of course. We'll dissect what wrong at Buffalo and talk about the return of Geoff Collins and Georgia Tech.

The Owls had their first official team practice of the fall. What's on your mind?
