WICHITA STATE (8-6, 0-1) at TEMPLE (7-7, 0-1) Game Thread

[WstateU]

Temple may have a historically good name in basketball, but we need to look to the future of the sport, not the past. Texas, as a state, historically has had a lot of apathy towards college basketball. That’s changed and the state produces a lot of talent. UNT, Rice, SMU, Baylor, Houston, A&M, and Tech are all gonna get their share of talent, not just UT, You can’t ignore what’s happening on these campuses in terms of facilities development, enrollment, campus growth, etc. They may not have name recognition for basketball, but they are all building programs and have the funds and student populations to compete.

Over 8 million in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex.
Yipes Stripes Beechnut Gum!

It seems like they all get in their car and get on the highway every afternoon.

What does this mean? Are you in denial or something? Are you using your own ranking system?

You know, objective systems that measure actual results over a decent sample size. Like the following:

Oops! Hello Temple!

We're in the top 100! Well ahead of BJ.


You know what schools you WON'T find? Correct me if I'm wrong but... pretty much 99% of the remnants in our conference.

[C0|dB|00ded]

Did you care when they bent us over for 40 minutes on our court Thursday night?

Yup. It makes me furious. But I didn't witness one second of it.

This off week is already starting to remind me of off-season. Sunday can't get here soon enough.

Also enjoys walks on beaches with red tide algae, colonoscopies and root canals.

We do....it's because you live where you can afford and many times that is nowhere CLOSE to where you work.

I travel 50 miles (one way), from the East side to almost Fort Worth, when I have to go to the office. And I know a LOT of people with similar commutes, if not worse. Just the way it is.

Is Temple even in the top two of favorite Philly college basketball teams? Nova has to be #1. But then there is LaSslle, St. Joseph’s, Drexel, and St Peters as well. Judging from yesterday’s crowd, Temple might not be in the top four.

I just don't understand what point you are trying to make.

Been telling people for years not to move here. But no one listens lol
