T For Temple U

For the first time in 30 years, The Temple University Owls will be playing in a Bowl Game. After a 9-3 season, they were selected to play in the Eagle Bank Bowl in Washington DC on Tuesday December 29th. The funny thing is, they don't even know who the opponent is yet. If Army beats Navy, Army gets the nod. If Army loses, they will play UCLA.

During my Sophomore Season, Temple completed their last winning season, 7-4, but lost out to a Liberty Bowl Bid to the University of Maryland. 19 years later, Temple has finally done it. I am sure Coach Al Golden will be considered for top jobs, let's face it, it isn't easy to build a winner on North Broad Street. Many have tried and most of failed. Let's just hope he can continue the this trend for a long time to come.

I am very disappointed at the BCS. Imagine that, me hating on the BCS. I would have loved to see TCU get a shot at the National Championship. At the very least, a shot at the Florida Gators, instead they will play a 5th rated Bowl game against Boise State. Way to go BCS, you proven you can suck even more than you do.
