TFF: A Proven Winner

Where do Temple fans congregate? You can find solid message board talk and recruiting coverage at OwlScoop.com and OwlsDaily.com. For a blog’s take, visit Temple Football Forever. For a little while there earlier this decade, we weren’t sure if Temple football would really stick around. Now, we can safely state Temple football will be around forever." _ Paul Myerberg, New York Times

“”How do we differentiate ourselves? How do we make ourselves hard to prepare for? Put two backs on the field. Put two tight ends on the field. “This is what your roots are. These kids have made themselves really tough. And that’s the only way we’ll ever win. By being a really, really tough football team.”” _ Matt Rhule as told to USA Today’s Paul Myerberg. For a link to the full quote, click on Matt’s face

Quotable

"It's very difficult for us to represent to our students that this is a first-rate University without providing the experiences that are offered elsewhere. A great football team, a great basketball team, a great dance program [among other things] . . . our students are entitled to all of that and we will provide it." _ the late Howard Gittis, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Temple University


"Temple's success in 1A football would clearly help its image. Immediate positive public identification with Temple as a whole is what we're talking about. .... Temple's overall image has been boosted by the success of men's basketball led by Coach Chaney. Success in 1A football would have a far greater impact nationally than basketball (or virtually anything else) in developing the University's overall image. . ...Universities with 1A football programs must invest to succeed ..."
_ Peter J. Liacouras, Chancellor, Temple University
