Temple Football Forever 
Wouldn’t it be great to pull off another one like Virginia Tech way back when VT was in the top 10, Temple had only one win, went down there and upset them? Unlikely to get another one of the “biggest upsets in NCAA history” but we can dream. Hopefully Temple keeps within 2-3 touchdowns and no major injuries. Just when we all were for riding Carey out on a rail, a 6-7 win bowling season looks possible. And even tho I had been willing to give him a chance this season I also became one to want to get rid of him because the prospects were looking so bad. Still wait and see tho, as usual.
Jon, How far do you live from Nippert? I imagine it’s going to be a sellout Friday night coming off a win over Notre Dame.
I live 2-2 1/2 hours from Cincinnati – not that far to go to a game but with a 7 o’clock kickoff it would mean either staying over (expensive) or driving home in the middle of the night (no thanks). Also one can see the game better on TV anyway while not having to buy a ticket and all the hassle. If it had been a noon kickoff or even 3:30 I would consider it. Every other year I’ve thought about going, but they’ve all been night games. I like going to games tho. Seen our Owls play at some big time schools: all over the southeast (mostly SEC teams, GA, FL, AL among 5 of them), as well as VT, Louisville, Clemson, Pitt, PSU, East Carolina, My son-in-law (FSU grad) is jealous of me, lol. Why do you ask?
For some reason I thought you lived in Cincinnati. Al Golden will be attending his second straight Temple game after not being at 1 for 11 straight years
You know, there is no way that I would pull for Temple to lose. BUT I got nothing against Cincinnati. I’d love to see them go undefeated and play in the playoff.
Cincinnati is dead to me after they left the AAC. They are playing for big 12 prestige now so nothing would be a bigger middle finger to the big 12 than a Temple win. Let’s hope the AAC refs get the memo.
Jon, I live in Cincy near Nippert. I’m a longtime Temple fan. If you want to go to the game, we could buy tickets at a resell site and you could stay at an extra bedroom at my house.
Are you the Jon from Cincy I see on Mike’s donation list. Thanks for the invite. Very generous of you. I’ll think about it but probably not, mostly because of the COVID stuff I won’t go into a packed stadium – especially with no mask mandate. Any other year I’d probably do it. BTW, I live in the Hocking Hills area, by Old Man’s Cave and Ash Cave. If you’re vaxed consider a trip over here and stay in our guest cottage. Are you a Temple alum? I am, ’68.
Hello thecontrarian2020, I am a long time temple fan and reader and currently a senior at Xavier U. My friends and I will be cheering on the owls at mios in Clifton if you need plans for the game. Go Owls!
Only an experienced sociologist can figure out why Cincy supports their college team and Philly disrespects their number one employer. Or maybe a psychiatrist or an FBI investigation.
35,715 Temple fans showed up to see the no. 21 Temple owls beat Tulane in 2015. That number exceeds the current capacity of nippert stadium. Win and Philly supports the owls.
Wrong. The city is corrupt putrid swamp. NoPhilly locals dump trash and pet food around student housing to attract vermin, and thugs drive ATVs the sidewalks and doing wheelies on the streets.
The city wont approve privately financed on-campus stadium. The city should reimburse Temple for the cost of renting the Linc and revenue losses from vending and parking.
The next AD must be a personal injury lawyer and not a jock.
Nice newzzz for once, as Temple Vs Cincy will be on TV , ESPN , Friday night. What a nice bit of news here, really.
The winner here is not hard to guess, but it will be on real TV.
That means ‘ chikin ‘ wings and all that with cold beer at home in my TV room.
(Also I still have that jar of pickled herring in my fridge which needs attention, that’s a northern European thing, ya know… )
Yes, Jon from Cincy. Both of my parents and both sisters are Temple grads. I was going to games in Mt Airy when I was 7, in the late 1950s .. when we were happy beating Kings Point! Let me know if you change your mind.
Temple Community,
I am thrilled to announce that Arthur Johnson, a veteran administrator who has served the last seven years on the athletics senior leadership team at the University of Texas, has been named the Vice President and Director of Athletics at Temple University.
Arthur’s hiring is the next step in filling out the senior team that will enable Temple to become even stronger and a true leader in higher education, the community and the nation. I am proud that each of my current cabinet member appointees have served in leadership roles at Temple for many years—demonstrating consistency of institutional knowledge and experience. Johnson embodies our vision for excellence, and I am confident he will be a wonderful complement to this leadership team.
During a remarkable 25–year career, Arthur has been instrumental in raising the competitive profiles of three storied athletic programs—the University of Texas, the University of Georgia and Arizona State University—and he’s uniquely prepared to lead and elevate Temple to a similar championship status.
A media conference will be streamed live today on ESPN+ and Owlsports.com beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Join me in welcoming Arthur, his wife T’Leatha, and their nine–year–old son Aaron to the Temple family.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jason Wingard
President
What else does No Philly want? If Wingard and Johnson can’t build an OCS then it will never happen.The clock just started ticking really loud.
Stadium funding has already been approved by BOT. This hiring screams of working with the community to find a more acceptable spot inside Temple’s footprint for a stadium that doesn’t butress any row homes. To me, the key words in Mr. Johnson’s resume was being involved in facilities building. That must have jumped out to the BOT as well.
My heart goes out to Austin Mullen, we’ve seen this movie three times already. This is his first screening, he should stop reaching out until a deal is done.
