October 20th, 2018: Temple upsets #20 Cincinnati in OT #TempleTUFF

[Darrien Starling @DarrienStarling]

Arthur Johnson has a perception problem at Temple.

The concerns I've heard from people around the program are becoming increasingly consistent:

Not enough resources.
Not enough alignment.
Not enough urgency.

Keeler has his own questions to answer.

I explain why in today's article.

[Darvin @darvinxq]

Bob Costas was 18 when his father dropped dead at JFK airport. At the wake, a man handed him a thick envelope with $6,000 in $100 bills. It was everything his father left behind, and a bookie would never have paid it to a dead man.

In the video below, he tells the story himself.

His father, John, was a big-time gambler. Not casinos, not racetracks. Ball games. Bob says the mortgage was literally riding on his bets.

When the games went the wrong way, he threw things, cursed and yelled. Bob’s mom and sister would leave. Bob stayed, because watching the games with his dad was the only way to be close to him.

Friday, May 15, 1970. A cop knocks on the door. Before he says a word, Bob’s mother asks, “My husband’s dead, isn’t he?” John Costas had a heart attack walking through JFK. He was 42.

At the wake, one of his gambling buddies walked in with the envelope. “Your father was up when he died. Give this to your mother.” A bookie never pays a dead man, so the friend went to the bookie himself and said John sent him to collect.

Decades later, Bob Costas refused to read sports betting ads on air. Today the bookie lives in everyone’s phone. Is that progress?

I asked #NYR Mike Sullivan why he took Pavel Dorofeyev off PP1, and then put him back on the unit:

Sullivan: “You want to know the answer?”

*Me frozen in my tracks with a pause:

“Yes.”

“Yes? Okay, so I’ve been asking the power play for a number of games now that the first unit—they have to change smarter. And when the puck gets dumped down 2 or 3 times, and they’ve got to go 200 feet to get it and then work back into the offensive zone, they should change — and Pav didn’t. At some point, there needs to be some accountability around it. Unfortunately for Pav, he was the guy. I told the power play guys that, we have to be smart. We've got another unit that's pretty good also. We’ve got some good players on it. And I know Pav is well intentioned and he’s trying to do the right thing out there, but we have to have a sense out there, all of us, when we’re on the power play and when you extend your shifts, usually that’s when bad things happen. You’re tired, you don’t think and execute the same way. A lot of times you can give up goals against in those circumstances because you don’t have the juice to play the game the right way. And we’ve been asking our group for a number of games now to change at the appropriate time. And so, if it falls on deaf ears, then you have to take other measures.”

No exaggeration, this guy might be the best interview in pro sports right now

Endy's catch was 7305 days ago.

There were 7299 days between the Buckner ball and Endy's catch.

Endy's catch was closer in time to the Buckner ball than it is to today.

Temple has parted ways with defensive line coach Cedric Calhoun, sources tell @On3.

Henry Baker is expected to take over as defensive playcaller for the remainder of the season.

@PapaJewSports Surprised that whatever was on his head didn’t fall off when he did the backflip lol

For a program defined by bad losses, this will be the worst in Temple’s recent history.

Whether it’s because of the coaching or players, the D is simply unable to keep up with even the most basic FBS offenses.

I don’t know where the Owls go from here but it won’t be to a bowl

[Ryan @_RF30]

Make it make sense!

Hey @NJTRANSIT tell me how this is a better system to get through Secaucus to the Meadowlands than how it used to be

Temple’s KC Keeler promises changes after a 38-31 loss to previously winless Charlotte: “I’ve coached over 400 games … that was the single most embarrassing game I’ve ever been involved with.”

[Jayson Stark @jaysonst]

Fun fact:

The last team to blow a lead in all 4 losses of a postseason series was the 2015 Mets (against the Royals).

Why would I mention that? Maybe because the Dodgers have melted away leads in all 4 games of this series.

@JSB_TV @NYRangers @TBLightning So, any comment after that one?
