Maryland 0 Temple 31
- Thread starter clonechemist
- Start date
They also took Penn State to the wire here in Philly last week, but everyone interpreted that as a sign of Penn State's weakness.
Maryland beat Miami this year and only lost to WVU by 6, but they are getting straight up embarassed by a (very good, but nonetheless) MAC team. With the recent realignment talk I was thinking Maryland is another program that we compare favorably to.
Speaking of realignment, maybe Temple is ready for the big time? They have a solid basketball tradition, comparable student population, a football program on the rise (which is apparently surviving Al Golden's departure to Miami), instant access to a couple big stadiums in Philly, and a huge local television market. That said, I guess Philly is too far away for the Big12, but a guy can drea.

Miami plays Kansas State today, with two transfer players on the Wildcats roster. This will settle.....nothing really.
Temple is a solid MAC team, them beating Maryland isn't that big of a shock but them absoluetely dominating them is an embarrassment to the ACC.
They're probably better off becoming a big fish in a small pond. There are reasons why they essentially were kicked out of the Big East.
