Join The Revolution Part II

Last post, I told the members of Virginia why they should root for the Temple Owls this coming season....That got me thinking why couldn't every other team in the nation outside of those in the MAC root for the Owls as well. I will now provide for you reasons why you should be on Al Golden's bandwagon.

First off, there are a lot of you teams out there who may be looking to pillage the Owls for their Einstein-like coaching staff led by the great one Al Golden. That's right, i'm looking in your direction Syracuse, Minnesota, UAB, Iowa State, Baylor. So basically, if your team has a coach opening after another season of dismal failure....you too should root for the Owls because their success means you'll be gettin a good one.

Next off, I'm looking at the schools who must compete with the likes of Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers and Ohio State in their conference. You guys should want the Owls to succeed as their success means they will be able to take recruits from the Nittany Lions and the Panthers. Temple's already experienced increased success in Philly taking recruits from the other schools thus hurting them in their future.

I havent forgotten about you guys on the West Coast who still arent convinced that you should be on the bandwagon. Well...the fact is...well....im struggling to think about it but i'm sure you guys would rather root for an up and comer in Temple then root for Washington or Idaho or Idaho State or some other school that will soon have less wins then the Owls.

Finally if you hate any of the other schools in the MAC, root for Temple. They represent what most of us strive for in life as a "Rocky" story of sorts. They need your support.

All of this is for your benefit because surely when they become the next thing after a few six or seven win seasons, you can tell your friends that you were on board. It won't hurt and it may even help you gain respect amongst your friends. Everyone can root for USC and Florida and brag about winning. It takes more character to root for a losing team that's up and coming.

Thanks!
