Maybe for those stuck in the MAC. Temple fans have moved on from the MAC, why would we linger on an inferior conference to the AAC that we used to be a part of?
Two nine win seasons and an 8 win season isn't exactly a black eye.
I guess? And BG winning the East in 2014 sounds good too.... Until you see they lost 3 crossovers to 7 win WMU, 9 win Toledo, and 5 win Ball State, then got drilled in the title game by NIU. 0-4 vs the West and an East banner is about as good as 5-3 in the MAC over and over and losing to every .500 team or better.
It's just pathetic how all MAC fans harp on this. We're moved on and so are you. No need to be salty about us improving our situation with the AAC. It's just a conference that fits us better with schools that also have high upside.

Sorry to break it to you, but you, specifically, have not "moved on" as you continue to post here and visit here. that is the definition of not moving on.

I'm moved on. Don't follow MAC football, don't care about outcomes, just like to stop in and talk to my MAC buddies every now and then. Plus we're playing Toledo in a bowl so it's the perfect time to be posting here.

Your program was very lucky and your situation has improved for the time being. That being said, Temple is still one of the worst programs in the history of college football. I would enjoy the hell out of this season and keep the chest thumping to the AAC board.

Quote:That's a non-sequitur, but I assume you enjoyed typing it.
Noting that during Temple's tenure in the MAC, they never beat a winning MAC team, never went to a MACC game? Don't see how that's a non-sequitur. The conclusion is that Temple struggled in the MAC, and that points it out.
Quote:I'll let Peter Liacouras know that at least one WMU fan still values his decision to voluntarily forfeit a Temple win years ago.
Yep -- cheating's cheating. :)
Quote:I'm curious. How do the Cosby revelations have anything to do with Temple's MAC membership, and especially how did Temple's departure "not help"?
See my above comment (in reference before joining the MAC).
I don't think Temple leaving helped the East Division; never said that it did. The East in the MAC has been the weaker division, and Temple had a few years of being competitive in it. Better than UMass.

Not doing any chest thumping just trying to explain to MAC fans that we are unaffected by the "never beat a winning MAC team" comments because we are moved on to bigger and better things.

That's comical,
The ONLY reason the Big East let the Football team back in was because of Basketball. If it was not for that, you would have the same thing that happened to UMass Football.
Congratulations on your Season, but you will be subletting form Penn once again once you guys are bad again....

Everytime i go into a game confident (NIU, WMU, UMASS) we play like crap, and not so confident we win (Arkansas, BG). Does me not being confident make me confident???
Does Temple want to be in this game, post AACCG defeat? Fans seemed to want a VT type opponent. How will Toledo handle the lack of coaches and turmoil they have had in the last 3 weeks... Lots of whatifs for this game. Is Candle an OC genious in his first game with no one in his way calling plays?
I predict with my heart and say 34-23 Rockets. I think the score range is right, but dont know who will come on top.

(12-10-2015 08:12 PM)exCincy Kid1 Wrote: Courtesy of my "handy-dandy" Chicago Tribune today. MAC teams are "dogs" in 5 of the 7 games although UT/Temple is close to a toss up:
Favorite/Underdog
Appy State by 8 over OU
Utah State by 6 1/2 over Akron
Temple 1 over Toledo
Boise State 8 over NIU
WMU by 2 1/2 over MTSU
BG by 7 1/2 over G-So
Minnesota by 5 1/2 over CMU
Only surprise to me is the amount of the spread on the Appy St-OU game.....kind of figured it'd be more like 4 points.
After 3 games, bet the MAC in Vegas. Get rich. Pretty simple. Gamblers betting the favorites are hurting.

UT with a very, very impressive win over a good Temple squad. UT definitely top 25 worthy but not sure if they'll get into the final poll or not.
