We'll see. From afar I think the new coach has improved what was waste dump of a football program. There media market/geography/bball success is always going to keep them in the expansion discussion. We don't need them to be Penn St. If they could become as good as UC is in football, Temple could help us

And for those who wonder, "what was Temple Stadium?" a link below.

Actually, the last time UC played at Temple (http://gobearcats.cstv.com/sports/m-foot...game4.html)

it was at Franklin Field (University of Pennsylvania).

Than what?

How about better than S.U. ?!!!

Haven't both Cincinnati and Louisville scheduled Temple in football recently? I thought I remember that, not saying it is a big deal though.

UConn has a four game home-home with the Owls. Last year was the 1st game at UConn.

I have not seen Temple on any future Cincy Schedules. I cannot see any benefit to playing each other. If we play a MAC school you want it to be close for fan travel etc.

No evidence of Cincy, but clear evidence of UConn

UC last played Temple in 2003.

While this is akin to a couple of midgets arguing over who's taller, despite Syracuse being at its lowest point ever and you (mistakenly) thinking that you're going somewhere, you're still a speck in our rear-view mirror.

time will tell zib

Exactly, we finished a home-and-home with them. We played them back in 2002, in Philadelphia. That was the same day Bob Huggins had a heart attack because I remember being in the van with my family, listening to the UC game against Temple and hearing them report that Huggins suffered a massive heart attack. Then Temple came to Cincinnati and UC beat them in a triple-overtime thriller.

There actually is a lot of similarities between Temple and Cincinnati. The difference is, Cincinnati got serious about improving their facilities, fan support, athletic department, and status in collegiate sports, Temple didn't, until recently.

The Owls left Temple Stadium after an 8-2 season in 1974.

I'm just really tired of your guys' act, particularly on the MAC board.
