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!

Join The Revolution.....

Join The Revolution baby....Temple football and Al Golden is going to be great. The hype is actually here...My dad told me there was a season ticket holder event in Philly and a lot of people actually showed up. They even handed out lawn placards for the big rematch with the Tranghese-led UConn Huskies. They know what we're capable of. UVA fans, embrace Al Golden because he was once yours....Virginia Tech fans, embrace Al Golden because he left UVA and every win Temple has is another twist of the knife...Richmond fans, embrace Al Golden just because...The rest of you schools who read this, embrace Al Golden and the Owls because of you think you could beat them.

Six wins.....for most that's a poor season....for Temple....that's a bowl season!

College Football

Alright, i know people are getting the jones for College football. I know i am because that's when the true betting skills come to roost with me and a lot of my brethren. The over/under for Virginia Tech is 9....havent quite gotten a lean on this one yet but i'm thinking it's an 8 or 10 win season. It's how optimistic you are about an offense that's replacing a lot of pieces to it.

As an aside, my fantasy college football draft is soon and i got the 3rd pick. Ahead of me is an OSU fan who has said he's taking Beanie Wells and a Gator fan ahead of me who is taking Tim Tebow. Where do i go then....Pat White, Graham Harrell or Michael Crabtree?

Over/unders on the NFL are out too....havent had a chance yet to look at them but trust me there are some values out there.

My Tardiness

My apologies for abandoning this blog and it's wonderful listeners. Soon enough it'll be time for my award winning college football picks and whatnot. Before then it's time to tout the official team of this blog....the Temple Owls football team. This team is gonna be good....scary good at times....they will have a winning record and may get more wins then the hoos. Those who disagree can take a look at the schedules and tell me differently. College football is coming and with that our saturdays go with it. I can't wait for the first tripleheader featuring the Spiders who will be scary good as well.

Keep truckin
