My Attempt At Covering Temple Football

temple

I am always looking to expand my journalistic portfolio.  While this site is my baby, I had a brief stint as a contributing writer for ESPN and have been a part of many different radio shows in the past.  Most recently, I wrote a piece for The Bulletin, a newspaper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The topic is Temple University football.  It just hit the web yesterday, and is a little outdated (Temple went on to beat Akron), but hopefully you still think it is a good read.  If you are in Philly, you can read it on those things still being printed on paper (they’re called newspapers).  For those of you outside of the City of Brotherly Love, go ahead and check it out here: It’s Time To Rally Around The Cherry And White.

Here is the first paragraph from the article:

At this time last year, the only reason that I would have been talking about Temple, was to find out which one I would be attending for Friday night Shabbat services.  But this year, I have a new reason to mention that six letter word, and it is in relation to the Owls.
