Temple FINDS a way to WIN. You have to give these kids credit for GRIT, blocking that extra point, running it back for 2 points, then some fantastic catchs, and ICE man comes in and drills a field goal!!

Winning football games ain't easy, especially against a super hyped Umass team with a potential pro QB, but the Owls find a way. Yes, lots of criticism, turn overs, fumbles, conservative play calling and defense was bend down break.

You really have to give credit to Umass, but in spite of this, the Owls Pull out a Win.

GO OWLS!!!

Aaron Ruff was a highly rated recruit and redshirted last year.
He is not listed on the two deep depth chart.
Can anyone shed light on his current status?

I have owned football season tickets for many of the the years since I graduated in 1970. We all know the few up periods and the many down periods this program has lived through. I know it is only 2 games, however, the positive P.R. from this great start is amazing.

My wife of 45 years and I live in New Hope Pa. New Hope, particularly on weekends is a town loads people like to visit. I often walk through town with my Temple gear on (TU golf shirt and coaches cap). I can't even count the number of folks who high five us, pat me on the back, give us a thumbs up and said many positive things about the football program AND the university in general. As an Owl Club member, and a proud alum, we need to keep the train rolling. Keep supporting the program both verbally and financially. It's just so refreshing to hear the positive comments! Go Owls!!

Very entertaining and informative. The $25million that you projected that the fan base would conceivably have to raise how much of that would need to be committed before the stadium is announced? Do you think it'll be 1000 donors @ $25000 or 5,000 @ $5,000?

Don't want to jinx the Owls or overlook UMass, but if we have a commanding lead Saturday, could we see the RS freshman QB get some time?

Decision coming tomorrow. Hearing he'll be joining his RC boys at Penn State.

On 97.5, The Fanatic, at 3:45 PM, Mike Missinelli officially joined the Temple bandwagon, slamming his Nits. He said he wouldn't be surprised if they went undefeated and gave them a good chance of beating Notrer Dame.

Hey Folks...The manager at Master's pub on campus confirmed that they can convert Saturday's game onto the pub TV's from the internet.

If any of you plan to go...please weigh in here over the next day or so. Since they are usually somewhat quiet on a Saturday afternoon he was asking for an idea of attendance (which is virtually impossible) so he can staff accordingly. Keep in mind this is not a University sponsored game watch....just sayin.


Here is a link to the pub:

Anyone that is thinking of making a trip to Foxboro for the Temple vs UMASS game, the Boston Chapter of TUAA will be hosting a tailgate from 12 - 3pm. If interested you can register here:

Hey All - Long Time First Time

About a year ago my buddy Nick and I started talking about producing a weekly Temple Sports podcast. We spent nearly 2 hours talking/texting Temple sports each week and thought why not record it and if anyone listens, cool. Well after acquiring the gear, going through multiple practice pods, and spending time figuring out how to get it published we are proud to say The Broad Street Dummies Podcast is now live on iTunes. It's still much definitely a work in progress but if you are Temple obsessed like we are and need more Temple talk in your life I hope you subscribe and listen!

You can look us up on iTunes, the podcast app, or download here. We appreciate your support!

Thanks!
Mike

Look..I don't know if everyone can tell but I do not wear "Cherry Colored Glasses". I don't accept where this program has been going the last few years. I blame a lot of that on Coach Dunphy. That being said you can not fault him for missing on Tony Carr. I will not get into specifics but you just can't blame him on this one. However, what you can fault him for is not spotting this for the beginning and grabbing Traci Carter when he was a realistic option.

Will be committing today

Temple offers 2017 F/C Nicolas Claxton who plays in SC. He is #121 in the Rivals150. He also has offers from South Carolina, and Murray State, and interest from NC State, Baylor, Georgia, Miss State, USCw, LA Tech, and more. Rivals lists him at 6'7. Everywhere else lists him at 6'10.
He plays for the USVI U17 team. He averaged 11 points, 8 rebounds, and nearly 5 blocks per game during the Centrobasketba tournament (Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico). 11 PPG was 13th in the tournament, 8 RPG was 10th in the tournament, and ~5 BPG was 1st in the tournament. Interestingly, the top player was Roman G/F D'Andre Vilmar, who played for the Bahamas.

Have tix just figuring out travel. Frontier sounds like the way to go?

Temple visited both 2017 3-star C Damion Moore and 2016 PG Decardo Day of Callaway (MS). Callaway is the high school of 2015 top prospect and Miss. St. commit Malik Newman. It seems they've been watching Moore for close to a year, and there is some confusion if he's actually a 2016 or 2017.

Do we still continue to recruit Russell now that we have Moore in the bag? I was wondering because Imotep has some outstanding athletes, both football and basketball, and they would be a good pipeline for us.

I just booked a round trip flight from Trenton with Frontier to Raleigh going out mid day October 22 landing at 3 pm and game at 7 pm . ECU about an hour and half away . Going back Friday at 3:30 pm flight . All non stop and price ..... $ 133.10 round trip per person .

If you want to go on a road trip then this fare should an affordable one .

rented an Explorer SUV for $ 122.00

See you there ..... Moose

(Here he comes, Tannhauser the Addazio apologist...)

Alright, fellas, now that we're all feeling pretty damn good about ourselves, perhaps we can cleanse away the ill will towards our last coach.

I took a look at the commitments he got in the just under two years he was here, up shot: He got us 20 contributors and 12 starters.

I know it is still a few weeks away but assuming that we take care of business in the next 2 games and go into the game 4-0 what would be a resonable attendence for that game? I honestly have no idea what kind of crowd we would get but hopefully the amount of buzz with this team combined with homecoming will bring in a great one.

I made a post this morning about JHG averaging 100 posts per week for the last six years.

it seems to have disappeared

please tell me where the posts went, as I cant find it

if you deliberately took it down, you can also tell me how to close my account and how to be sure that my credit card wont be charged anymore.
