Why did we add Temple again?

[Ryno aka Menace]

Man I just watched Temple play cause I try and TiVo all MAC games to see what we are going up against. And man this team is terrible. I you try and use the argument of "New York" Market, we already have Buffalo so that is a mute point. I would rather add Middle Tenesse or Western Kentucky, Navy, anybody but them.

BBall, I supose. *shrug*Geographically, it doesn't make any sense. The other side of them thar mountnz is east coast, and that's a LONG bus ride.

Temple only joined in Football. They have no affiliation with MAC basketball or any other sport. Kind of the opposite of what would make sense, give Temple's recent football play.

duh! I think I knew that but forgot. Its even more of a slap in the face that their BBall program wouldn't join the MAC. What? They are too good for us? But here, have our shitty ass Fball team. Who the hell accepted that shit?

Not joining as a full member (including bball) one does not get the feeling that Temple is going to be a long-time member.New York market? I think not. Temple is in Philly...that's no where near the NY market. So, I guess we'll have to be satisfied with the Philly, south Jersey market...oh boy!

if they would have had another team then it would have made sense.with 13 teams the mac cross division games dont really mean much.they should have left it at 12 or ad one to 14.just to add temple for football makes no sense at all.

the Toledo Blade ran an article quoting a MAC guy as saying plans are in the works to balance the imbalance created by adding Temple.http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...RTS11/709050440

I would rather add Middle Tenesse

I'd SOOOOOO Take Middle Tennessee right now because they are losing to Louisville 35-38 with the ball now in the 3rd quarter at Louisville. I will say once again WE HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF THE MAC!!!!!! Because and temple sucks along with Buffalo

[Zipgrad1990]

Temple is so bad at football that the MAC was stupid to not force them to add bball too. Its better to not add them at all. And go Middle Tenn! The best thing about college football (other then a Zips win and a Can't loss) is to pull for the upsets!
