Temple Football Forever 
It looks like the axe is about to fall on the Idaho game. The Big Sky is moving conference play to the spring.
There is no official word on out-of-Conference games, so the door might still be open, but…..
Like I said in March, there is not going to be a season. News this morning that Big 10 and Pac 12 are likely to cancel the season puts pressure on every other league. If one player dies or suffers a life-long debilitating condition, the liability could bankrupt the school where it occurred. Absent a vaccine or sure fire viable treatment, it’s wait til next year for sure.
More of a silver lining ……..
With the Big 10 and Pac 12 possibly cancelling their seasons, if the AAC pulls it off and has a season, we may end up in the top 10!!!!!
Let’s bring home that national championship trophy!!! 🙂
Whether there’s a CFB season this fall now comes down to what the SEC does.
SEC loves football. Expect Civil War II if they cancel.
If the odds of a player dying or getting a life long debilitating condition from covid are the conditions for canceling the season then college football should just be abolished completely. Since the chances of either of those 2 occurrences from the “normal” practice and play is much greater than happening from covid.
Mike! I’m not at all optimistic we’ll see the Owls on any field this year. And especially in that case — if the season goes dark — I wanted to thank you for the many years of good football journalism. (And commentary too.) Hopefully….we’ll have games to see!
I’ll settle for the Owls on TV this year Rob if I can get it. Not optimistic but keeping my fingers crossed. The weird thing is the NFL came out with a statement today that if college cancels they will take both Saturdays and Sundays. Nothing is stopping the NFL and they have the same risks as the college kids. Thanks. I’m going to miss Christina Anthony on your weather station. She’s a future star IMHO.
UMass has cancelled out as well now. Temple down to 8 conference games. It’s really getting hard to see how this is gonna happen.
Just say the AAC and a few others try to go through with a season. What’s the better chance? Looking really smart and succeeding or looking really stupid and having it blow up in their face?
AAC might have all the college tv sets to themselves. https://www.radio.com/1057thefan/sports/ncaa-football/aac-commissioner-no-medical-reason-to-not-playing
If this keeps up we may move up from a top 10 team to a top 5 team!!! LOL
😀
Seems like Aresco is ignoring the real, bottom line of the COVID-19 situation, ie.: the stats of the counties Temple’s opponents play in may have leveled off or gotten better from peek case numbers but they’re still higher than they were awhile back, according to the article (and could easily get worse again). Even if nobody dies (and that’s only an assumption), contracting the virus can have the potential long term health effects that can be devastating (heart problems maybe the worst). These are young people who naturally feel they’re invulnerable, but are not, and they want to play more than anything which overpowers their sense of critical thinking and being careful. Yes it’s possible without football they could become more careless in social and campus situations, but forcing them into close contact with spitting, etc. going on just heightens the situation. I guess if the rules/protocols are strictly followed only healthy guys will be allowed on the field and sideline it could work and we can enjoy watching the games. Best of luck to everyone.

Here’s a wild idea…..with Scott Frost and Nebraska going bonkers over the Big Ten pulling the plug in the season, would anybody object to the AAC swooping in and taking the Cornhuskers on?
I would never do it just for a season as some seem to be suggesting, but would it be reasonable to listen if they called and wanted to sign say a ten year contract?
It would take the Nebraska BOT and President to get behind that. That said the big 12 going forward probably could squeeze them in for games on a 1-year basis.
Nebraska made a lot of mistakes including getting rid of Frank Solich and abandoning the Big 12. That being said, I can’t see them defying the Big 10 by playing football because regardless of the fact that they are just a middling team in the Big10 it is the richest conference that provides each member a small fortune because of the Big 10 network, I can’t see them risking their membership for the Big 12 especially because the Big 12 is actually the Big 2 and both Oklahoma and Texas could both decide at any time to go to the SEC thereby destroying the conference.
Picking up a non-conference game with West VA would be good – geographically close, they’re not real good right now (so we might actually have a chance), it’s a P5 program and an old rivalry.
