Fan Fest is Wednesday


By Mike Gibson
You never know who you are going to see at Temple Football's Fan Fest.
Last year, Bill Cosby made it.
The Cos, Temple's most famous ex-player, dressed up as a 1940s Temple football player when we all know he played in the 1950s and early 1960s.
At least some of us do.
Perhaps the most impressive fan fest came last year when, coming off a 1-11 season, 2,000 fans showed up.
This year, about 5,000 fans are expected to the free event.
That says a lot about the potential for a WINNING Temple team to attract paying customers to the actual games.
This one is Wednesday from 5-7 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.
All of the Philadelphia TV stations will be there and Comcast Sports Net will devote a large part of its popular Daily News Live program to the event.
You are sure to see Temple football coach Al Golden and about 115 players vying for starting and travel squad jobs in what promises to be the toughest competition for those spots in a generation.
