Are they serious? In this editorial, they have the audacity to lump Temple in with Penn State in terms of football insanity! Not remotely comparable.

Army will bring a fair amount of cadets - maybe we can get to 35k+????

Also, with a 7PM start, what time will lot K open?

I just left mass at parish, Saint John the Baptist in Manayunk, young 7 footer and his mother attending mass together. I have never seen them before and could not catch up to them after mass. Not sure who he was,or if he was on a visit somewhere, any thoughts? Thanks as always! He was a sight to see...and what a wingspan..

Good afternoon,

My name is Sam and I am the "booster" for the Temple Alumni team for The Basketball Tournament. I previously posted on these boards as sforman17, but my account expired and I cannot renew right now, so I am borrowing my brother's just for this post. Anyway, the team needs YOUR HELP to get the team into the tournament so they can compete for the third straight year. This time the stakes are raised, as the prize is $2 million.

Last year's roster included Khalif Wyatt, Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson, TJ DiLeo, Dalton Pepper, Ramone Moore, and Jake Godino. So far, RHJ, TJ, and Juan Fernandez have been officially listed on the roster.

Click here to become a fan. This year, there is a prize structure for fans of the winning team, based on your recruitment of other fans. Here it is:

• 1ST PLACE: $20,000
• 2ND-5TH: $10,000
• 6TH-20TH: $4,000
• 21ST-100TH: $1,000

Please take the time to become a fan and spread the word! Go Owls!

just saw multiple tweets saying that board of trustees plan on firing Theobold. So yeah....

Look for some new stylistic changes to the uniforms this year...

gets Hugh money from Jets

Do we know any of the confirmed OOC opponents for next year?

Owl from the late 1990s.

Good player who was a constant battler on some bad teams during a time of turbulent change for us.

God bless, big guy.

And f*** cancer.

He is the CFO of the university. Wouldn't he have to be replaced too?

At the end of the day this could turn into a major clean sweep.

I'm just wondering what's truly at work here.

Also, if the provost has to be confirmed by the board, doesn't the president have to consult with them on removal?

PJ and Jahad made the Watch List: http://www.ncaa.com/news/football/a...ootball-maxwell-award-unveils-2016-watch-list

Anyone know anything about when this might be?

Anyone want to take a stab at what this means for athletics?

2017 Cherry Hill (NJ) High School West cornerback Harrison Hand told Brian Dohn of Scout.com that he'll take official visits to Temple, Virginia Tech and Rutgers.

Hand, who's fresh off an appearance (and 7-on-7 championship) at Nike's The Opening in Oregon, has been one of Temple's top priorities in the class of 2017 since they were the first school to offer in June 2015. He was on campus as recently as last month for one of Matt Rhule's camps, along with 2017 4-star safety Markquese Bell of Bridgeton (NJ) High, and he told me then that he was planning on potentially making a late summer decision.

Fran Brown has been the lead recruiter on Hand and the two talk on a daily basis.

Per a source close to the Connecticut basketball program, OwlScoop.com has learned that Dwayne Killings is set to resign from Fran Dunphy's program in order to join Kevin Ollie's staff.

Killings was Temple's Director of Basketball Operations from 2006-09 before leaving to spend a year with the NBA D-League and a year with Boston University. Killings returned to Temple in June 2011 and has spent the last five seasons establishing himself as Temple's best recruiter.

This is obviously a pretty big loss for Temple's program. We'll have more as this develops, including potential replacements for Killings' spot on the bench.

Maybe he can replace Killings

Michigan signee and Camden (NJ) High graduate Brad Hawkins will attend prep school, as he announced on Twitter earlier this afternoon.

Hawkins didn't qualify, which means that he'll have to sign again as a member of the class of 2017 (similar to Greg Webb).

Temple recruited Hawkins extremely hard during the first time around and I would expect them to do the same this time. Defensive backs coach Francis Brown is a fellow Camden High graduate and has a strong relationship with Hawkins.

A carload of recruits from Massachusetts made their way down to Philadelphia for an unofficial visit to Temple on Tuesday, according to a source. The two most notable recruits that made it to campus were 2018 four-star shooting guard A.J. Reeves of Brimmer and May School (holds offers from Boston College, UConn, Louisville, Providence, Temple, and others), along with 2017 three-star point guard Wabissa Bede of Cushing Academy (holds offers from Butler, DePaul, VCU, Providence, and others).

Raheem Blackshear, a class of 2017 slot receiver from Archbishop Wood (Pa.), has committed to Temple, he told OwlScoop.com. Blackshear chose the Owls over Syracuse, Buffalo, Army, among others.

Following Blackshear's verbal pledge, Temple is up to 13 commitments, which puts the class over halfway full.

According to this article, there were some pretty high level discussions between Temple and Oklahoma regarding a game in Norman in 2019 as recently as last February. The slots are still open for both teams.

Don't think Temple's been calling Big 12/P5 schools about our schedule?
Don't think Temple hasn't been noticed by the Big 12?

Fun times.

Matt Rhule is 10th all-time in coaching wins with 18. He needs 1 to tie the inimitable Bobby Wallace and 9 to tie Al Golden and Bruce Arians. When all is said and done will Rhule catch Wayne Hardin who has 80wins?

Beginning in 2024.
