Temple Football Forever 
The Best memories for TUFB include that Navy game.
1- Beat down of Penn State and the Sackenburg experiment. The joy of it all.
2- Beating Navy down there about 2 years ago for the big win of the Div championship . The stands were full to TU fans and it was a love fest. We and the – TUFB team – stopped their run game and passing game. Happy day for sure.
Hope to stuff their run game again.
talking to you at the pre-game tailgate was definitely one of the many highlights of that day. After the game was over, I let out a primal scream all by myself in the concourse. I thought people would think I was crazy but I looked around and they understood and got several high fives from complete strangers.
Actually I been residing in a little S Jersey town now famous for Trout and Armstead, who knew ? I have friend, works at that Sellersville Theater, small world.
Grew up in at area, was small part of old Pennsylvania Dutch type world when I was a kid
Thanks Mike, IT do remember talking your ear off at that reception tent pre-game event down at Nav. As always I probably threw in my old days, Wayne Hellman and the old Bux Mont, along with reading the D-town Intelligencer every day, and to think you were part of that..
This mornings, as a pleasant surprise with mu coffee at the kitchen table I saw my paper, The AC PRESS ACTUALLY had a nice long story on Temple FB and vs Navy. Did the Philly Inquey have anything.
Rutgers is so band The Local rag, AC Press probably decide to report on a local team with some hope.
Hope to see you at a game this year, need to know where youz guys can be found someday. I park way out there at the other lot and not at stadium.
Ern
So you live in Atlantic City now, not Perkasie? Interesting. I’m headed to Sellersville to see the Harry Chapin Band (sans Harry, unfortunately) on Nov. 3. Next week, I signed up for the Alumni Tent at Homecoming so I hope you can do the tent thing again.
I can only assume you are taking a ‘taxi’ to the show.
Nah, driving but not drinking.
… but I get the reference. My favorite Harry song is the little-known but beautifully written All My Life’s a Circle, which he used to close out four concerts at the Temple University Music Festival.
I’m a huge Harry Chaplin fan who lives in the Bay Area. My amazing wife still cringes every time it rains and I never fail to say “it was raining hard in Frisco”. My personal favorite is “a better place to be”….or Sequel which is about as happy as Harry ever got.
Me, too. Worked the Temple Music Festival as an usher, met Harry one year and worked it the next year and Harry came up to me, and remembered my name: “Hi, Mike!” and shook my hand. He asked if I would stick around and help with the post-concert stuff about hunger and I was only too happy to do so. Most real celebrity who ever lived. Will be great seeing Tom Chapin and big John Wallace after all these years in Sellersville on 11/3. We aren’t playing that day. Harry went to the same high school John Belli went to. .. got to be two of the five most famous guys who ever went there.
Well, after the first half, I would say we are not very good. It seems to me some of these offensive play calls are not good.
First and goal at the 1 on the first drive got to put nitro as the fullback and give it to Gardner for the easy six; instead Collins and Patenaude try to get too cute putting two defensive players in who are confused about the snap count and cause a penalty. Been saying from the start of the year that Patenaude is this team’s Achilles heel. Today he is navy’s mvp
Mike, this coaching staff, especially Patenaude are the embodiment of the Peter Principal. No matter how good the talent is on this team we are stuck with 2 FCS coordinators. Trying to get too cute on offense and looks like Thacker for some reason changes the defensive formation at the start of the second half leaving gaps all over the defensive line. Starting to look like another game where we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
They are doing what I was afraid of the other day and not playing gap defense. On the first and goal I agree with Mike and also think that that was time for the D Tackle play. Also, why try trick plays and formations when your guys can beat them straight up? That’s the Patenfraud way I guess. Make things harder than they have to be.
USE A BLOCKER ON RUNS YOU IDIOTS. With UCF losing this is a big, big game and the Owls are screwing it up.
John, I’m beginning to believe that is just the trade mark of this staff. With this staff I think the team will always have a record 1 or 2 games or more under where they should finish. Win this game and 3-0 in the division. As I’ve said before, with this staff .500 record might be their ceiling
I give up. Patenfraud throws when he should run and runs when he should throw. They had the game winning field goal lined up and could have taken a minute off the clock.
PATENFRAUD IS A MORON.
the team wins in spite of the coaching staff.,, thank God for the talent MR recruited
absolutely, KJ and John are 100 percent correct. I suspect Pravda will attempt to put lipstick on this pig. A good-looking pig, but a pig nonetheless.
Which will making getting to bowl eligibility a lot harder than it need to be this season
I’m glad we finally discovered our stud QB. This was only after the two guys ahead of him got hurt over the past two seasons but I hope we can dispense with the ‘above the line’ nonsense.
