Pudge, I know that since you have been to the facility in 2015 numerous upgrades have been made to the facility since then with the coaching changes. Each coach has had a list of improvements each time they've been hired. Is it on par with UConn's new facility, most definitely not but it...
Gonna miss my once every two year trip up to see Temple play at the Rent. Maybe the series continues in the future, idk. The picture has become a little clearer now and since Temple has been in this position, I figured i'd give my perspective. None of this is earth shattering or probably a...
If I recall, Temple has exclusive rights to the Linc for Saturdays in the fall (if not for any collegiate football games). Temple would not consider allowing Nova to use the Linc. I don't think the Eagles would consider it either...
The current AAC contract was negotiated in such a week position compared to where the conference is now. At the time, their was so much instability with the AAC. There was a rumor back when the original contract was signed that ESPN was willing to give $6-8M per team if a GOR was signed. You...
While it appears that way on the outside, I'm not sure that is true. Owlscoop hinted at a position change very early in his recruitment, which means someone close to the program mentioned that. No matter what, Temple is going to be inexperienced at QB next year at the D-1 level.
I'm not sure why Temple was recruiting Pindell but my hunch is they were going to move him to another position. Temple has 4 scholarship QBs already on the roster including mid-year enrollee 3 star Todd Centreio.
I think a combination of UConn being able to offer playing time and Temple only...
That is not how I remember it. So maybe he was a potential grey shirt, which was something Temple did in the MAC because the MAC takes partial qualifiers. None of this applies to Temple now as the Big East and now AAC do not accept partial qualifies. The last recruiting class Temple could do...
I just wanted to add that Temple did have the ability to take some grey shirts while in the MAC but that is gone with the move to the AAC. I also think one of the biggest things that Temple has been successful at is talent evaluation. They take guys who fit their system regardless of rankings...
FYI,
Matt Rhule renegotiated his contract last year and and got a 4 year extension. Terms were not released but he is making well north of $2M. Might even be closer to $3M a year.
I don't believe Dobbs ever made it to Temple's campus either so I don't know why he was referenced here? Temple in the MAC had the luxury of being able to over sign and then parking kids in Prep School (still open to signing at any school) or grey-shirting them a half-year. While that was an...
LOL, when has Temple ever been a cupcake to UConn? Even in the UConn 2010 BCS game year, Temple beat UConn.
I have great respect for the UConn football program because I feel that both our schools have the same hurdles going up against southern domiciled FB schools in the AAC. However, to...
Not sure where you are getting that? It may be from the angle of the angle of the picture. Those sections that you see are at the in the corner of the end zone where the ramps are. That ramp is right at the back end zone marker. So what I am saying is the majority of the lower bowl was...
I hate to say you guys don't know what you are talking about, but yes you don't know what you are talking about...
Oklahoma is not signing this deal to play in an NFL stadium. They have agreed to play in either the Linc or an OCS. It doesn't matter.
Regarding the PSU and ND games. Both had...
I wouldn't call either embarrassing as both were #1 in the land at the time and UNC the #2 overall seed in the tournament and VU got #6. The VU game stings because Temple laid an egg. The UNC game was played without Obi E and was the first game of the year. Embarrassing is losing to...
Overall a fairly good write up. Just some thoughts...not sure where you are getting the "they are once again going to take some embarrassing early-season OOC Ls. Their OOC losses this year were to UNC (#1 seed), Butler (#9 seed), Utah (#3 seed), Wisc (#7 seed), St. Joes (#8 seed) and Villanova...
The guy has a "hard-on" for Temple. He loves Saint Joe's but runs a academic advising company that helps get kids qualified for college. Sounds real upstanding right....But, on the side though he publishes a recruiting book for coaches with social media info for all his tutored kids. He then...
An "advisor" to Traci Carter that posts on the Temple scout board from time to time is saying Traci is going to announce this coming Wednesday. If that is the case, looks like Marquette...
My point being is both teams played below where they should have. temple missed big free throws down the stretch too...I still don't know how you call that a foul on that three. If you call that, you need to call that drive at the end of regulation too...
Both teams have better basketball in...
Hey Guys. Just want to say good game. I expect a better game from both teams in March. Temple should not have won shooting 31% and letting the game slip away like that in regulation.
I thought the refs were horrible all game...and if boatwright plays Uconn wins with how bad Temple looked...
FYI, Bradford was apparently on Temple's campus this past weekend. Not sure how much interest there is from him, may just be weighing his options...Temple does have one Timber Creek player on their roster and actively recruiting A. Jennings this year as well...
Here is an updated Rivals.com ranking for the AAC
http://rivals.yahoo.com/temple/football/recruiting/teamrank/2014/AAC/all
The C-USA schools coming in in 2014 are ranked here:
Tulsa 2.3 avg 300 pts
Tulane 2.17 avg 465 pts
ECU 2 avg 360 pts
And with all due respect, I would say that Temple and Uconn had a pretty good rivalry before being in the same conference...with Temple winning two out of the last 3...
Hey guys,
Saw this thread and figured I would weigh in.
A lot of Temple's recruiting success so far has to do solely with Matt Rhule. He brings an energy that the program started to lack under Addazio. Rhule was the leading force behind a lot of the recruiting success Temple had under Al...
