Astonishment....

I remember being as angry as most of you are on here after we lost to Villanova to open the 2003 campaign. In-city basketball rival but Div1-aa opponent.

I am a bit ashamed that Temple is your Villanova. Temple had lost 20 straight but had actually just started playing with this year’s full squad (minus injuries). I will spare you the details but lets just say Coach golden is a hell of disciplinarian.

I'd wish you'd guys would suck it up and congratulate the win but know that’s not going to happen, you love your team. In the coming years lets all hope this game is for the MAC east crown.

and to Karl Smith please write a new article...

You’re a better guy then that.

That article is from TWO YEARS AGO! I should say you're a better person than that VE. I would expect that from MH55 (laced with colorful language, of course).

Yes, people are disappointed in the loss against T-E-M-P-L-E, but to DEMAND some sort of congratulations to your team on THIS board is absurd.

VE actually has a point. Lost in all the anger, disappointment and suicidal thoughts, the Owls deserve congrats IMO. Temple won the game...congrats Owls.

Slam away buddy... I don't mind be a punching bag... 17k of us showed up for a 0-20 team...

I demanded nothing and expected nothing...

I said I "wished you would""but know that’s not going to happen"

Its your board and will scurry away...

Articles like that one are a disgrace...
Go look at Karl's post last week

I will restate...

This win feels great for Temple fans especially because of articles like that one in our hometown papers.

I feel your pain, it will get better.

We both played tons of freshman and we will both benefit in the coming years...

How about we meet back here in three years and talk about two teams vying for the better bowl game.

1: Passive aggressive suits you nicely.

2: So, if Karl writes an article congratulating T-E-M-P-L-E you will have your emotional balm?

no one wants the other team there a week after the loss, let alone the monday after.

Thank you for a nice game and I look forward to future years of MAC football with so many of your great fans...

Go beat Akron...

I honestly do not expect you guys to congratulate Temple for those that due your a bigger person then I.

I am honestly happy for Temple and the team and program certainly do deserve congratulations. I also think you somewhat understand how the fans on this board feel after the loss. Nobody here is going to be overly excited for Temple when they broke the streak against us. I don't think the issue here is this one loss. The issue is that the team has been playing far below everyone's expectations over the past couple of years. A loss to the team with the longest losing streak in the country was just kind of that last straw for alot of people here.
