I would imagine that Temple is going to do something to try and curtail the PSU invasion? I went to see Rutgers play Temple a few years back and even with Rutgers the crowd was pretty well divided.

We will see. Temple has gotten better also, I'm just saying people are over lookin temple this year. Temples defense is there strength and the offense has gotten better with Robey Anderson getting reinstated to the team and the running game getting some new blood.
Yeah I don't see it happening. The Linc just doesn't fill up for Temple games. I'd wager the Owls average fewer than 25k people per home game. You gotta figure of that 25K-ish figure, probably a thousand or two are there for the away team, another handful are just there because they got free tickets or had nothing better to do and aren't really cheering for anyone. With PSU it would not surprise me to see 40k plus just for the PSU people. Temple is gonna get creamed.

Nope, Penn State has actually been advertising tickets for the game.
Temple doesn't get the fan support nor do they get the total revenue to turn opposing fans away from coming. I'd imagine their athletic department is giddy as hell that they not only have Penn State coming to the Linc this year but also Notre Dame.

Not really surprising but Everett Golson named the starting QB at FSU. I think they lose at least two games this year, not really enamored with them this year.

Yeah but they still draw Clemson, GT,& Florida (never can discount a rivalry game) all on the road this year. They're basically rebuilding a lot of their team & I've seen enough of Golson over the years to know he isn't anything special (the bigger the game the more he turns the ball over).

We have sold plenty of season tickets this year. I know, because I just ordered mine way late, and our entire side is sold out and has been since a week or so after becoming available.
As far as the Linc not filling up, it's 70K seats. Rutgers wouldn't fill it either. There's a reason we're building a stadium on campus.

Temple's top pass rusher Praise Martin-Oguike might be out for Week 1 against PSU.
PSU's top TE Adam Breneman is out for Week 1 against Temple & quite possibly much longer. South Jersey's Mike Gesicki will be the starter at TE.

Me neither. If he fails with the Eagles I do think college will be his only option but we're at least a couple of years away from that.

I could see him taking an OC job if he's fired from the Eagles but did it while continuing to light up the league on offense. I just don't think he wants to go back to college coaching lifestyle. The recruiting and constant roster turnover is what keeps a lot of guys from going back.

I guess we'll see but I can't see him really coming back from that. I don't think he's really a big hit in the NFL circles as is & a failure after having a "my way or the high way" type of mentality could be the final nail in the coffin for his NFL coaching career IMO. The success or failure of the Eagles falls 100% on him given the complete control he has over the situation.
I don't think he'll go back to college by choice if that were to happen.

Chip? No way. The guy loves the control. I can't see him being an assistant again.

Yeah it's either HC at NFL or HC at NCAA. No chance he takes an OC job. He'd probably go back to FCS before he did that.

Depends on the book. I quickly looked at two books and saw 7. I'm sure 6.5 is out there somewhere.
EDIT: Just looked at five books and only one had it at 6.5.
