    OT: Temple Football

    Was sad to see MR leave. He was on the verge of building something potentially special. TU made him a millionaire with what we paid him. Baylor was able to double his salary. Hard for any of us to pass up, but he'll have his work cut out for him and for a guy and his wife "who loved big city...

    OT: Temple Football

    Joe, SHU is so correct about everything he wrote or has written in the past about Sergeant Slaughter. Some of the stories that I have heard from the inside about that jacka$$ are flat out despicable. He burned a lot of bridges on his way out of Philly and isn't missed. Hindsight now says that...

    OT: Temple Football

    I think some of the "fascination" goes back to a time back when both schools played yearly and were, I think, hated rivals. Some of the newer RU fans I think get their rocks off because we aren't on the same page anymore, but feel put downs are necessary even if we experience some success. It's...

    OT: Temple Football

    Madchuck, Coaching has a lot to do with it. The previous regimes found prospects that were overlooked by bigger name schools. Maybe it was because lack of size, speed or in Hasaan Reddick's case, the kid suffered 2 major injuries in high school so I think our program benefits because of them...

    OT: Temple Football

    Not bragging at all. I don't post here often and when I do, I'm not here to flame, but some of you folks seem to have a true hard-on for my uni and feel there's a need for the constant put downs. That's what bothers me. Does it make some of you feel more superior by playing the "one...

    OT: Temple Football

    For the record, G5 conference champions don't have their pick of the litter regarding bowl games. Military bowl made the most sense once Western Michigan all but locked up the Cotton Bowl bid. Even though we "only ended up in Annapolis" as you say, for those final weeks of the 2016 season, it...

    OT: Temple Football

    LMAO. Love this board. The program has done a much better job hiring head coaches. That helped changed the culture. The support staffs of the 3 previous regimes also had a talent for finding prospects who flew under the radar of the "big name" schools. That's how we succeeded. Our facilities...

    OT: Mid-sized sedans, $25-35,000

    SHU, If my 2 cents mean anything, I had an Accord, a 4 cylinder EX to be exact. Car was a workhouse and everything you could ask for in a car which for me is basic transportation from Point A to B. Anyway, I put 150k on without an issue. Followed the owners manual when it came time to service...

    RULaw, Check out Cafe Britt. Costa Rican. You can go to their webpage to order.

    OT.... Fenway Park

    I'm going to jump in if I can being I'm a Sox fan and make 4 to 6 trips to Fenway per season. Have been there for a decent amount of matchups with NY. Pavilion seats aren't bad but I tend to sit and prefer the loge or field boxes. The Sox ticket office holds between 200 to 300 gameday tickets...

    OT: Geoff Collins to be named new Temple HC

    It's nice that he has the FL contacts and can possibly target a few prospects, but he won't be able to rely on it. As you said, ton of competition down there. I can see USF and UCF have some major recruiting wars. Anticipating who he targets for his staff. I'm guessing he's going to hire an OC...

    OT: Geoff Collins to be named new Temple HC

    It was tough to lose Rhule. While it was Golden who changed the culture for us, Matt took it to another level. I like today's hire a lot. We'll see if someone comes snooping for his services in 3-4 seasons.

    OT: Geoff Collins to be named new Temple HC

    He is a fantastic coach and the players love him. They'd run through fire for him. He's 60, 61 and I can't imagine him wanting to uproot himself, but I didn't think MR was going to do it either unless it was for an NFL gig. Snow is very tight with Rhule and I'm sure he's trying to convince him...

    OT: Geoff Collins to be named new Temple HC

    Cicero, New hire has some NE ties, but he's made his mark in the SEC. Has had gigs at Bama and Miss St before Florida. Worked with Rhule way back in the day when they were both getting started. Phil Snow is a very interesting story. Players wanted him, but I don't think he was/is interested...

    OT: Geoff Collins to be named new Temple HC

    Don't know his personal Intel. I'm getting info just like the rest of you via the net. That's the unfortunate reality of being a G5. Same thing is going to happen with Cincy, USF and Houston again too if their hires are all successful. It sucks because the G5 grooms them and in our case, it's...
