Good morning, everyone.

We're taking mailbag questions for this week's episode of The Scoop until noon Tuesday. So if you've got some stuff on your mind after yesterday and need to vent, ask away.

Might as well start a thread on a coordinated effort to influence and hold accountable the BOT, President, and AD in making sure athletics is a priority.

Top 3 Goals?
- Get into a power conference - preferably ACC. I imagine this is priority #1.
- Temple execs and BOT must all buy-in on NIL and be very active getting alums and local businesses to donate to NIL.
- On Campus Stadium

I imagine everyone is aligned on those goals. So how do you hold accountable and influence the BOT, President, and AD in a very effective manner? How have other schools alums do it? I honestly don't know - can anyone give examples (within reason - we are not psu - but maybe what ucf, cincinatti, etc did?) I'm not aware of any schools where alums led a movement like this - most schools that were accepted into a power conference had great leadership from the President and AD.

Fire away on how to do this effectively. Most - if not all here - would want to help.

Who is hitting the portal?

Do they wait until Arthur comes out of his basement to make an announcement?

“They were physically stronger than us,” third-year Temple head coach Stan Drayton said during a postgame Zoom call with reporters. “They played better than us. It’s one thing when you're playing against a team that is bigger than you, stronger than you, but they played better. They executed better than we did as well. So, yeah, that was the case, that we definitely lost the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Wasn't even close.”
This admission is pathetic. No reason we can't be physically stronger; that's on the HC and strength coach. Later he said that Tulane had definitely "invested in some players." This is just another excuse for his incompetence.

I noticed the box score for UCSBs 41 point Friday night rout of Portland. The Gauchos had 18 players see the court. Clearly several are walk-ons, but have you ever heard of that?

So I’m out at Pitt seeing my daughter for parents weekend, at the Pitt/Murray St. game, but feeling just like back on north broad: Damien Dunn drop 13 points in the half, then foul the three point shooter and miss a bunny 2 footer.
He looks pretty good honestly and seems to fit on this Pitt team…

According to ESPN, Temple has escaped the bottom 10 and is now on the waiting list. Some honor!

Figured I would create one thread for the sports outside football and basketball.

Really energized for the start of this season. Hopefully we come out strong and finish and get this train moving.

...featuring Temple v Monmouth and Duquesne v Princeton from the Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton.

I, for one, am fired up! Owls getting some early love with the books today, saw the line move from -2.5 to -4 now.

Monmouth is led by 6'7" guard, Abdi Bashir, who had 20 points on 22 shots in a 24 point loss to Michigan State earlier this week.

Lets GO Owls...and never forget, "What Trenton Makes...The World Takes".

Temple is currently -4.

...by an Ivy squad.

Watched the final 12 minutes last night and was both underwhelmed by Villanova's roster and impressed with Columbia's coaching and the team's resolve down the stretch. Looks like it will be another year of discontent for Cats' fans and a warming seat for Neptune. Also, anyone else notice that pre-season #1, AAC squad, UAB got beaten at home by Vermont the other night? Going to be a crazy year.

Good evening, everyone.

We're taking mailbag questions until 3 p.m. today for this week's podcast. We'll take a closer look at the Temple men's win over Sacred Heart, the women's hoops loss to Richmond and anything else you'd like to put on the agenda.

Thanks as always for listening!

Temple's second bye is in the rearview mirror, so it's time to talk some football again. We're taking mailbag questions until 3 p.m. today for this week's podcast. Let us know what's on your mind and we'll talk about it on The Scoop.

Thanks as always for listening!

Nice start for Jamal Mashburn, Jr. in the Cherry & White. Twenty Six points, but better yet his court sense seems very steady.
I know it is only game one, and Sacred Heart is not a top 100 program, but I liked what I saw this game.

Plus these Owls hit free throws when it counted down the stretch. Overall a good win to start the season.

GO OWLS!

Figured I'd start a thread to track how Temple's high school commits are performing so far this year.

Rice beats navy 24 - 10

Temple police Officer Christopher Fitgerald was tragically murdered near campus in 2023. His family was just awarded a home by Tunnels2Towers foundation. A great tribute for a fallen Owl. This organization does wonderful work and if you can give, I would encourage you to do so. They do great work.

Lynn Greer III and Chris Clark would both return prior to the Dec. 15 game at Hofstra.

When I spoke with Jamal Mashburn Jr. earlier this week, he noted early on that he would be playing more point guard.

We finally get back to the NCAA tournament??!

We're taking mailbag questions until noon tomorrow for this week's podcast. We'll obviously talk about last week's developments with the suspensions to Lynn Greer III and Chris Clark, along with anything else you'd like to put on the agenda.

Thanks as always for listening!

Good morning, everyone.

We're taking mailbag questions for The Scoop until noon tomorrow. So feel free to vent, ask away and add whatever you'd like to the agenda, and we'll talk about it on the pod.

A reminder that we get no coach or player access this week due to the bye week, unfortunately.
