The line went from 2 to 8 but they lost by almost 30.

Temple is 11-19 (and had a 10 game losing streak a while back)
UAB is 19-11 and has wins over Maryland, Memphis, FAU, etc

Is it possible Temple sucks in hoops right now and doesn't need to shave points to suck since they already suck anyway? Whoever set the line a "2" originally is the one that needs to have their computer drug tested being as it was smoking crack.

don't change the fact that the Feds are poking around, something that is not good. And changing lines like that based on that type of money being dropped has uncovered cheating in the past.

Well if you are following this, the feds have a pattern of unusual activity on many of Temple’s games this year. If Feds getting involved they ain’t simply tossing darts 🎯 to see what sticks.

I saw that, and I have questions regarding that. Because if true, I’m not sure I’d out the Mob on a podcast. I mean, would you?

I believe the $EC is crooked.

Are you familiar with the expression:

"If the University of Tennessee football program gets caught cheating one more time, SMU will get the death penalty...again"


Bonus question:
Ever heard of an SEC ref named Marc Curles? They finally banned him iirc.

(It wasn't the 2009 Arkansas fiasco that was the final straw, it was an overtime game in....KNOXVILLE TN in 2011)

What does that have to do with Temple? And sorry, but there has to be more proof than claims made in a podcast.

It's the #1 topic on the Temple sports forum, so must have something to do with the Owls.

If the subject is corruption in college sports, UT-Knoxville is very relevant.

Bruce Pearl's three year show-cause ban from coaching
Donnie Tyndall's TEN YEAR show-cause ban

and... quote from the NCAA...
"Over the course of three seasons, the Tennessee football program committed 18 Level I violations — encompassing more than 200 individual infractions — most of which involved recruiting rules violations and direct payments to prospects, current student-athletes and their families, according to a decision released by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel. An additional four Level I unethical conduct violations occurred involving former university employees. The violations resulted in impermissible inducements and benefits totaling approximately $60,000. As a result, Tennessee failed to monitor its football program. Additionally, due to his personal involvement in the violations, the former football head coach violated head coach responsibility rules."

At this point, if you're not cheating you're not trying.

Loyola of Maryland? Seriously?

If Santi Aldama from Spain (Memphis Grizzlies) hadn't played there for a minute, who would have even heard of it?
