Our new logo: It's Time

The slogan was seen recently on a player's wrist at the Ocean City (N.J.) Temple Football Fan Fest.
It's Time.
With the Temple T.
I like it.The best slogans are short, simple, sweet and succinct and that one best fits this year's Temple football team.
It's Time to disabuse people of the outdated notion that Temple=bad football.
It's Time to disabuse our own fans of taking shots at their own school's football team.


Owlified has always been a stand-up guy.
Recently, one guy who claims he's a Temple fan, wants Temple to win and runs a Temple-themed website, made a crack about an independent website's prediction that Temple will win the MAC East.
The crack was something along the lines about that website's writer smoking the evil weed if it thought Temple had a chance to win anything.
Yet the New York Times Quad Blog thinks the same thing.
I guess the smoke pipe gets passed around there, the nation's most respected journalistic institution, too.
Dennis Dodd, probably one of the best college football writers online (CBS Sportsline) also picks Temple to win the MAC East so I guess he's growing some funny stuff in his back yard, too.
Why is it sooooooo hard for someone who pretends to know something about Temple football to wrap his mind around the thought that maybe this team is ready to win the MAC East?

Were they not only a Hail Mary from doing the same thing last year?
Short answer: Yes. A win at Buffalo would have tied Temple in the MAC East with Buffalo and given the Owls the first tie-breaker (head-to-head). It would have been Temple, not Buffalo, playing Ball State for the title last year yet guys like that have selected amnesia when it comes to TU football.
It's Time to win and to shut these people up permanently.
It's Past Time.



Owlified's Excellent Temple Basketball Blog



So the new logo that adorns this site today prominently features it.
Many thanks go to Dave Gerson, who designed the logo you see at the top of this page.
Gerson, who goes by the name Owlified on Temple message boards, is a junior at Central Bucks East High School in Buckinhgam and he has done more for Temple sports in his 16 years than 99 percent of the kids already enrolled.
Temple's admissions department should seek out this kid and hand him a full academic ride now.
If you go to the Temple games, you've seen him. Dave wears the Travis Sheldon jersey and he's a stand-up guy.
We need 30,000 students with Dave Gerson's fervor and love for the Owls.
It's Time.
