Temple football tops on national website

Today's Temple at Notre Dame story led the national Rantsports.com college football website.

Today’s Temple at Notre Dame story led the national Rantsports.com college football website.

Temple was skewed recently by a Notre Dame writer who pulled a lot of the pre-Al Golden history and tried to portray Temple as the program that existed prior to Al Golden’s arrival in 2005.

Fortunately, astute college football fans know that, except for last year’s brain cramp by Steve Addazio, Temple has really been one of the most successful programs in the country over the past five seasons.

Today, my story on the Temple at Notre Dame game led the national Rantsports.com website.

The complete story can be read here by clicking over the first three words of this sentence. Rantsports.com employs a team of professional editors hired away from major newspapers across the country. Only professional journalists are considered for hire as part Rantsports.com’s writing team.

The Notre Dame writer’s version  on Bleacher Report doesn’t even deserve a read but I will link it over the first three letters of this sentence as a point of reference. Bleacher Report  employs no editors and allows just about anyone to write for its site.  As a result, there is a big difference in credibility of the two sites.

Your AAC champions: The Temple Owls

Temple Stadium upgradesmoreys

I’ve never been a big fantasy football game or simulated game guy, but I have to admit I’m intrigued by the  CBS Sports simulation that has the Temple Owls as the first champions of  the American Athletic Conference.
I’ll sign for it now.
Yeah, I know that eliminates my dream season of seeing Temple unbeaten, but that’s OK.
The way the Owls are recruiting, No. 30 nationally and with a bullet, that might come in a couple of years.
Got to take this simulated thing with a grain of salt.
The only “game” simulations I’ve seen for Temple in the past have had the Owls losing both 2011 games, 29-27, to Maryland (Owls won, 38-7) and 34-29 to Wyoming in the New Mexico Bowl (Owls won, 37-15).
CBS picks the Owls for a 9-3 overall record and Rutgers with a 5-7 overall record.
From their lips to God’s ears.
Let’s hope, though, this one is right.
