If you don’t count lacrosse as a sport, Philly as a city has been sans championship for 20-some years. Their hero is a fictional boxer whose most famous match is a loss.
For a college football program, Temple is about as perfect as a match for Philadelphia as you can get.
Team: Temple Owls
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Stadium: Lincoln Financial Field (Capacity: 68,532, mostly with Eagles fans that are tailgating early)
Coach: Al Golden
2006 Record/Finish: 1-11
2007 H2DN Prediction: You know what. Nobody’s reading this one anyway. Fuck it, 9-3.
Top Returner: 
Biggest Loss: 
ESPN Incessant Talking Point: ESPN will not be talking about the Temple Owls.
Key Offseason Event: Joining the MAC, eating a Big MAC, watching the comedic stylings of Bernie MAC.
Additional Notes: After landing on the moon in 1983, Al Golden decided to open a dinosaur theme park, which would later inspire the classic film starring Jeff Goldblum, Biodome.
His idea to coach a high school team to the NCAA championship was not nearly as well thought out as the rest of his career. Seriously, bad bad bad. While they may get better recruits from being in the MAC, they’re losing out on 4-5 300k+ paydays for a whoopin’. I’d probably take the money and run.
Holy fuck, I just realized someone else has to preview the Buffalo Bulls, a team that actually lost to Temple last year. In overtime.
Fun Fact: Temple has no fun facts.
