I stumbled across this documentary. It's a fascinating watch. The story of undefeated #16 ranked Yale taking on undefeated but unranked Harvard in 1968. David vs. Goliath with an amazing come-from-behind "victory". Notable players include Calvin Hill, Brian Dowling, and Tommy Lee Jones (yes, the actor). Interesting backstories include the Vietnam War, the political unrest of the late 60's, "you're number two", and the Mickey Mouse theme song. Also, some interesting anecdotes about Gary Trudeau ("Doonesbury"), Meryl Streep, George Bush, and Al Gore. I highly recommend. It's also available on free streaming TV on Tubi and Gravitas and for a few $'s on Amazon Prime.

The good ol' days of college football that we will never see the likes of ever again.

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29

Harry mentioned an interesting tidbit during tonight's USF game broadcast - Temple interviewed Jim Harbaugh for the head coaching vacancy eventually filled by Al Golden. I had completely forgotten about that, but it's particularly interesting right now and perhaps a little known piece of TUFB history.

I'm guessing this might be a WTF moment for some fans, but despite Harbaugh's recent achievements, I'm at complete peace as I firmly believe AG was the right coach at the time for TUFB.

Snow College defensive end Tray Swaningan is currently visiting Temple, OwlScoop.com has learned.

Swaningan was named a JCGridiron First Team All American and an NJCAA Second Team All American after he compiled 6.5 sacks and 9.5 TFL as a redshirt-freshman this season. The 6-foot-3, 265-pound Swaningan also has offers from schools like Coastal Carolina, Old Dominion and Western Kentucky.

Lakeland (FL) wideout Jamar Taylor is taking an official visit to Temple this weekend, he announced.

Taylor also has offers from schools like Colorado, Pitt, UCF, USF and West Virginia.

Ideally, Temple wants to take at least one more wideout in this class. The class already includes high schoolers Bryson Goodwin and Tyler Stewart, as well as Grambling State transfer Antonio Jones. That additional wideout could be Taylor or JUCO wideout Leland Smith, who visited last weekend but is also considering schools like Purdue and Miami (FL).

Temple recruit Aidan Tobiason scored 30 points leading undefeated #2 ranked St Elizabeth High School , Wilmington,DE to an upset over #1 ranked Salesianium High School 84-77.
Spoke to a friend, a 17 year high school coaching veteran, who attended the game. Having coached and witnessed several DI players he told me Tobiason is the real deal. I have not yet seen Tobiason play but will do so soon. It will be interesting to see how he matches up to recent Delaware players Cooney (Syracuse), Divencenio (Villanova &NBA) and Hyland (VCU&NBA).

That was potentially the best half of basketball all season.

Espn numbers 3,247. Penn st vs michigan sold out the palestra today.

Declan Landis, Rymir Vaughn and Johnny Zawislak made the trip to Burlington to watch Kiyomi McMiller, who would be a transformational recruit for Diane Richardson if she chooses the Owls next month.

Per FootballScoop, Temple is set to hire Grambling State WR coach Tyron Carrier to replace Jafar Williams, who Temple let go earlier this week.

Carrier was previously the WRs coach at Houston and West Virginia. Carrier, a Houston native, was named FootballScoop's Wide Receivers Coach of the Year in 2018 after West Virginia had three receivers combine for 2,602 receiving yards.
