I spent 4 years sweating, shivering, traveling, cheering, and mostly, crying over Temple Football. You see, despite their endlessly horrible record, I went to nearly every Saturday game in my time as a student there.
I remember sitting in Veterans Stadium, one of, literally, a handful of students who actually took the time to go to the games. Iremember only a few wins, mostly losses. But through it all, I was determined to support the team my tuition was paying to outfit.
Maybe that's why, now, I feel the Owls should walk from football.
I know, over the years this topic has been tossed around... switching conferences... pouring more money into the team... but when do you just give up? How many decades have to go by before you just throw in the towel?
Penn State will, almost certainly, beat my fighting Owls by a long shot. Maybe Joe Pa's absence will give them a slim chance.... but I doubt it.
I know I should still support the team no matter what.... maybe I'll tune out for a few years and hope to watch a winning team a few decades from now.
