Temple - 32. Notre Dame - 14. I do not see our stout defense giving up many points on Saturday. I do, however, see our defense, as well special teams, putting points on the board. Go Owls!

The 97.5 morning show stated that they will broadcasting live from main campus on Friday.

so....is it a bush league move to tweet at gameday & the producer trying to show that people want it here?.....asking for a friend

Looks like the location will be at the northwest corner of Broad and Montgomery in Pearson-McGonigle.

You know, the one with Scarlet flames. Here's another sack of trash for additional fuel.

Just announced by ESPN and Temple. Very cool.

I know you're all focused on the game but figured I'd pass this along. Looks like Marc Narducci of The Inquirer finally got somebody from Temple to provide on the record specifics about the proposed football stadium.

Interesting historical perspective from our counterparts at BlueandGold.com on Notre Dame's history versus teams that were 7-0 or better. Last win was in 1993, in the 1 vs. 2 epic against Florida State.

Announces retirement. Effective immediately.

This morning, I treated myself to 23 pages of griping on the other board. Cap was the sole voice of sanity and reason. Very classy, Cap!

Anybody have 2-4 extra tickets? I've exhausted my resources to get seats from people not selling tix for greed.

email me at Andrew.lahage@gmail.com if you can help out an Owl.

Thanks,
Andrew

ND -10

2015 Records

Temple 7-0
Pittsburgh 6-1
West Virginia 3-3
Syracuse 3-4
UConn 3-4
Rutgers 3-4
Boston College 3-5

These were the 7 schools in the Big East for football in 2004, Temple's final year in the conference before they were excised to an uncertain future.

Their offense looked very good on the road last night at Tulsa last night . This will be a tough game to win at home . Both defenses looked terrible last night.

2-6 in their last 8 including the lucky win at Virginia this year. Get off to a good start and the pressure is on them!

Build it and they will come. I have been a Temple football fan since 1980, my dad graduated from Temple, I graduated from Temple and my son is now a sophomore attending Temple. For the last 35 years I've listened to every coach that took over and each one, without exception said we are building something here and although they tried nothing ever materialized.

Now we are on the precipice of the biggest week and the biggest game in the history of Temple football. We will be on the national stage playing on network TV in a sold out stadium, we are nationally ranked, the team is 7-0. Enjoy and savor every minute of this, it has been a long time coming. Gentlemen the day has finally arrived, we have built something.

Go Owls!

Losing at home 51-0 in the 4th quarter on National TV (to Clemson)!

As I read someone post on Twitter "melt that fuggin JoePa statue, and build Matt Rhules! He's a deity"

UMass is up 28-10 against Toledo at Halftime!!!!!

... both waived by their respective teams.

The AAC has done a wonderful job winning this year. The 3 ranked teams are not by mistake, it's because we have given ourselves chances to win non-conference against some good and traditionally good teams.

This is something that must continue.

Now, as far as our own house goes -- what big time programs have we signed to play us? I know Vandy owes us a return game. Also, ND will be in 2017. Any others we have on future schedule? This new conference needs to have that John Chaney mentality - play anyone/anywhere.

I decided that I had to see Temple's first game ranked in person in my lifetime so I jumped in my car and drove down to Greenville to see the Owls against ECU. I am not an alumnus but have been a lifelong Temple football fan. I listened to every miserable game during the Berndt/Dickerson/Wallace eras so there was no way I was going to miss this bucket list moment. A buddy I know lives in Greenville so I headed to his place and we went over at about 4.

We parked about 2 blocks away on a residential street in a beautiful area. I wasn't out of my car 2 seconds wearing my Temple jersey when a couple of ECU fans walking by welcomed me to ECU. We walked another block closer to the stadium and every house seemed to be having an outdoor party. Some of the houses seemed to be frats and sororities and almost everyone was in black for their "black out." Not one person said anything negative to me about having an Owl jersey on. Finally a group ECU fans accosted us and made us drink their beer and shots, fed us shrimp, and talked at length about the two teams and the AAC. It is great to see the conference is getting the comraderie necessary in building rivalries against each other and other conferences.

We moved on and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The stadium looks like it is dropped in the middle of a nice neighborhood. Part of the parking is actually a middle school's athletic fields, lot and playground. We joined a couple more tailgates and were told if I ever come back to make sure I stop by again.

We walked in the stadium and it is neat to see a stadium built solely for their team. We had great seats at the 50 and everyone around me actually seemed glad I was there. Another Owl fan was 2 rows in front of and drove in from Greensboro.

ECU fans are REALLY into their Pirates. It was a great atmosphere but I do not think their is a place in the country that could rattle this Temple team. They seem to be very even keeled. Every first down by ECU was followed by a Pirate " Aaargh." I needed to make a few trips to the lav (small bladder + LOTS to drink) and not one time walking by hundreds of ECU fans did I hear anything negative.

Thoughts on the game. I am a season tix holder at the Linc but my seats are too low to get a view of the whole field from above. I am a PJ fan but he had receivers running free all game. He is not getting past his 2nd read (if he even gets past the first). He needs to simply play better if this team is going to beat Notre Dame and Memphis. With that being said...he is winning. Ventrel Bryant is a stud in the making. He should be PJ's first look. Big - strong - fast....he ran free across the middle all game. Like Christopher Walkan said "I need more cowbell," I need more Kip. He is an underutilized weapon.

This defense is really good. Very rarely out of position. Two mistakes cost them (the long pass on 3rd down that led to a touchdown drive and the missed tackle on the QB that allowed him to get a first down. They need to be at their best on Saturday. I cannot wait for the whole country to see them and especially Matakevich in action.

7-0 with Notre Dame and Gameday coming to town. The 8 PM ABC game. Are you freaking kidding! I remember where I was listening to Cal beat us 63-0. What a great opportunity to show off this team and the city. As much as I hat the Irish, I just hope that Temple fans treat their fans the way I was treated at ECU before- during - and and after the game. Go Owls!
