And we hired Eric Morris, as a KC Keeler starter kit maybe?   Yeah, I won’t be going to games next year.  Maybe if Temple comes to DATCU next year I will make at exception.  I will be the one wearing the custom “KC was Available” shirt.  MANY fans here first guessed this hire and wanted Keeler here instead of Morris.

Yeah.....many of us did mention Keeler last year. I guess Moseley thought we were saying "Keebler."

I really feel for SHSU. Their first bowl game ever.....and this puts a damper on it.

What if we got his DC. You still crying?

SHSU was 9-3.  Seven of their wins were against teams with non winning seasons.  Keeler was 2-3 against winning teams.  As I read the board, for man, those are the wins that count.

This could be a death blow to that man’s career. Has Temple ever been good at football?

Temple was in the AAC championship against Herman and UH the year they had one loss then wiped the floor with FSU in the Peach Bowl.

No wonder he was in tears after the game against Liberty on Friday and saying we're all family here and such.  Guess he'd rather play in an empty Philadelphia Eagles stadium than wait on the renovation of Bowers.

temple all time is 41.1 winning %

north Texas is 43.6%

so…you’re safe!

Keeler is a native of Pennsylvania. Perhaps that played a part in his decision.

Not sure where you got your info. 

Thru the 2023 season:  The Mean Green have played 106 seasons of football, compiling a record of 530–527–33 (.501)

Lol.   Renovations of Bowers, if it happens, will be a $60M press box, some suites and club level, plus restroom and concession space updates.  No major seating addition to their 14,000 seat stadium.
