But today, I wanted to take a moment to congratulate The Temple Owls. They had a rough start at the beginning of the season, losing to Villanova and Penn State, but since then, they’ve won six games in a row, keeping them undefeated in the MAC.

That means that Temple is bowl-eligible for the first time since 1990. That’s a long time to suck. Their next four games are against Miami (OH), Akron, Kent State, and Ohio, so it’s possible that they’ll end the season 10 – 2, winning the conference and heading to a fairly decent bowl game. That’s awesome for a team who started the season ranked in the bottom 10 of all college football.

The players on this team may not be top contenders for the draft, but they’re doing a great job taking Temple to the next level this season. Congrats, Owls, for finally not sucking.

Taking A Moment to Cheer On Temple

Dawn Staley is expected to be introduced as the next head coach at the University of South Carolina this weekend, according to a report in The State. (Hat tip to She’s Got Game for the find).

Staley, highly recognized as one of the best women’s basketball players ever, was the winningest head coach in Temple’s history. According to The State, she will make a base salary of $250,000 with a chance to earn about $650,000.
