Lordy, lordy Al Golden is 40

Happy Birtday to Al Golden, head football coach, Temple University, who is 40 today.
He was born on July 4, 1969.
What we'd like to give Al is:
1. 40,000 TEMPLE fans (plus 2,500 'Nova) fans for a crowd of 42,500 for the HOME opener;
2. A 12-0 regular-season record, which would include wins over rivals Villanova and Penn State;
3. A return trip (for Temple) to the Sugar Bowl as the lone non-BCS representative;
4. A bowl win.

I think Al wouldn't mind waiting six or so months for those belated presents to be unwrapped.
Heck, that would be a good birthday present for me and my fellow living 259,999 Temple alumni as well.
OK, I won't get greedy.
I'll take one of the four gifts above as long as it is No. 2. For the work Al Golden has put in for this university, though, he deserves to unwrap all four.
