Just reported today. Thought we had a shot. Big East is tough to out recruit for players in The Northeast as we are remote outpost of AAC.

Houston plays the game the right way and can win games in multiple ways . I hope we can play that tough in the near future. They are in our league and we should use them as a model .

Made it to the AAC Championship.

With spring ball starting Monday, we wanted to pass along some details about practices and media availability so you all know what to expect with coverage.

Practices will be closed for now, so all of our access will continue to be over Zoom. If CDC, city and Temple guidelines change, media might be able to attend future practices. The team as of now is planning to practice two days on and one day off as it works through the 15 practices allowed by the NCAA.

Rod Carey will be available each week, and we'll get to talk to Mike Uremovich and Jeff Knowles at least twice. Each position coach will be made available once.

Here's next week's practice schedule and media availability:

Monday, April 5 - Rod Carey
Tuesday, April 6 - Jadan Blue, Will Kwenkeu, Amir Tyler
Wednesday, April 7 - (No practice) Mike Uremovich and Jeff Knowles
Thursday, April 8 - Ra'Von Bonner, Iverson Clement, Will Rodgers
Friday, April 9 - Randle Jones, D'Wan Mathis, Re-al Mitchell

I was in 8th grade. I had a baseball game that Sunday. I played 1B and my mom sat on our bench to give me a play by play while she listened to a mini radio with headphones on. I had never seen any of the game. Not even a highlight. I was surfing around on Youtube the other night and what do I come across? Temple vs Seton Hall in the 2000 NCAA Tournament. It was after 11p and the kids were in bed. My wife asked "What are doing?" I said I'm going downstairs to watch a car accident unfold. I cracked a beer and put it on the big screen. It was...painful. We went on a semi miracle the next year but I really believe the Temple we know and love died that Sunday afternoon in March in 2000.

I know I'm venting but the basketball season is over, football is off in the distance and Jensen is about to make the Temple faithful feel like second class graduates once again.

One institution that has always backstabbed Temple's endeavor to improve its athletics program, yes it begins with a V. The mainliners believe Philadelphia is their TV market and all that get in the way must be attacked, discredited & pushed around. Credit has to be given to the clergy as they determined their competition devised a plan and made sure once on top to never let up. Temple in contrast is disorganized or blinded by other goals and allows the arrogant school outside the city limits to win. PLEASE give us a President and AD that changes this dynamic....... its really tiring !!!!!

... on a Philly-centric school that Dionte Christmas attended. Some pretty good anecdotes including Dionte's recruitment background. Phil Martelli.... oof.

If you have some baskeball-related mailbag questions for today's podcast, please post them here and we'll answer them on the show. Thank you as always for listening!

Temple linebacker George Reid will be with us on The Scoop when we record tomorrow. If you have questions for George or for us as a staff, please post them here and we'll get to as many as we can on the podcast. We'll take questions up until 4 p.m. tomorrow.

Thanks for listening and submitting your questions. We always appreciate it!
