I enjoy MAC Football and watch all the games I can. Its' the perfect place for Temple and while some may THINK Temple is better... we haven't proven it yet.


I'd go one step further... To this point, Temple has proven that they're NOT better than the MAC.

Anyone who has visited the MAC board has witnessed the unbridled arrogance of Temple fans.  It's a lot of fun to watch them eat their words.

Frankly I dont want to be in the MAC forever.


Welcome to the MAC. It's how virtually every fan of every school in the conference feels. No one likes non-AQ purgatory.

That's where I get most of my animosity towards Temple fans. I don't post all that often there but read it regularly.  I live on the east coast so I know those guys (not them personally but guys just like them) and they truly do think like that. As with any fanbase there is a mixed bag but they have more than their share of d-bags.

Boy you guys have a huge inferiority complex!

"Mean old Temple gets all the press because they're from the East Coast"

You guys won! Congrats!

I was at the game and the officiaiting was terrible. The one interception was pass interference...the spot... an offensive pass intereference call from the other side of the field.
I"m not going to make excuses though and that's my point.  Solich is a very good defensive coach and they schemed us well. Unfortunately we kept running a five foot five back into the middle of the line over and over.

I will say I was disappointed in the mocking of the Temple sideline by Ohio. IMO that shows a lack of discipline.

Again.. good luck against Kent State.. Hopefully you'll root for us against Miami of Ohio.


1. If running a 5'5" guy into the line who has 700 yards gained for the season is a bad idea then how did he get 700 yards? Why was he recruited? Why was he given the ball?
2. If you don't want mocked then don't stick your neck out by doing something on the sidelines that is more suitable in the dugout at a women's softball game. In the midwest we don't see that sort of thing. It's odd to us. We work more on football type stuff.
3. Don't forget to include the weather in placing blame along with the officiating because obviously the weather and the officiating was in our favor all night long.
4. Injuries that occur anytime are bad news. Yours just happened to occur last night in the game. Ours were not so noticeable having occurred weeks earlier. Still, not having your best players on the field is a risk of the game. 
5. Thanks for wishing us luck against Kent. You know we will all be routing for you against Fiami.

PS: Did you video your two defensive lineman standing and posing overtop our QB after they knocked him down rather brutally and unnecessarily?

Temple fans hate Penn State more than anything...


Wait..are Temple fans allowed to hate Penn State?  Can't you love both schools? As they play in different conferences and Penn State's program is at a different stature than Temple's. Doesn't Penn State represent the state of Pennsylvania?  How can you not want them to represent you?  I'm sure Penn State fans do not reciprocate the hate...do they?  Don't Temple students wear Penn State jerseys on Temple campus?  I can't understand how this is possible.


You're very confused.  It's the University of Pennsylvania, from the vaunted Ivy League, that captures the hearts and minds of all Keystonestaters.

That's the way we feel about Ohio State.  I'm sure for similar reasons.  Although I doubt Penn State ever sued you for the right to call themselves Temple.
  That very funny!  Let's quickly add, so that the confused Temple fans aren't even more confused, that  OSU "lost" by way of an out-of-court settlement.

How would you like us to respond?
It was an upset....Do you want  me to cry about our running back getting hurt on the first play or the bad officiating?
We were 10 point favorites and blew it by not playing our best game and making stupid mistakes.
Do you want me to point out the fact that Ohio has NEVER won a bowl game? Do you want to get into that?
Don't be jerks...if you can't take some smack talk then don't come on your board!
You won.. congratulations! Good luck against Kent State.


You've got to be kidding me!! A Temple fan comes on our board and trash talks and says what Temple is going to do to us, and you are whining about us celebrating our victory, ON OUR OWN BOARD. And then you tell us if we can't take a little trash talk, don't come to OUR OWN BOARD??? Hey, buddy, if you don't want to read about us kicking your butt, then don't YOU come to OUR BOARD!

Two years in a row we beat Temple.
Really was this an upset?
The fact is we were faster, we were better coached, and we beat Temple's azz!!!
Anyway bring on Kent State it is payback time.

I don't understand the Temple thing either. Why were they favored? Why do many think they are too good for the MAC? Wasn't it just a few short years ago that Temple was touted as the worst team in Div.1??? They should be happy to win one once in awhile and not get into trash talking.
And the dance, please......... I was embarrassed for them. It is a form of taunting but it makes them look so stupid that it backfires on them. Oh well.....

Doesn't Buffalo do the same thing on the sidelines?  Kind of like the Rockettes?
