NFL Draft: Medical Checks - Bernard Pierce, RB, Temple
There’s no question that playing running back is one of the most physically taxing jobs in all of sports. So when a college running back brings with the wear and tear of 600+ carries, it’s not unreasonable that teams will be concerned about the potential for that running back has to break down sooner than later.

2012 football opponents set and the attendance dilemma
As we had mentioned earlier today, the Temple Owls are joining the BIG EAST for the 2012 in football, filling the void left by West Virginia's departure to the Big XII. That left one remaining gap in Pitt's schedule, the one created by cancelling the UCF game for TCU, who then decided to fail drug tests head to the Big XII as well. The rumor had been that Big South doormat...

What the Temple Move Means
Temple is the low self-esteem kid you went to high school with who dated a girl who was too good looking for him, probably was a bit loose under the sheets (if you catch my drift), and treated him like dirt at every turn but he was too blinded by the things she let him do that he didn't even pay attention to all the other guys she was letting do the same things and kept running...

Is Temple coming to Heinz for 2012?
I've generally stayed away from Big East expansion news since for the most part, it doesn't involve Pitt. With Pitt and Syracuse expected to depart for the ACC after next season, it doesn't really matter to me whether Navy joins in 2014 or 2013. But with each remaining Big East team left with two holes in their 2012 schedule (TCU and West Virginia), the hunt is on to...

Temple signs best recruiting class in program history
Sometimes I get the sense that Temple fans think I’m scoffing at the notion of discussing their beloved Owls (not all of them, just a vocal minority). I get it. They do not like my stance and opinions on the state of Temple football as it is related to the big boys of college football and what I have to say about where...

Defense disappears as Billikens fall to Temple
With less than a minute to play, Temple guard Ramone Moore stood just inside half court dribbling the ball with his right hand while calmly motioning for his team to relax with his left.
Moments earlier, a layup by Dwayne Evans pulled Saint Louis within four and momentum appeared shifted in favor of the Billikens.
