Really Mike? You list an Ivy League game above a nationally televised D1A showdown between two teams that are 6-2 and 5-2 and have each won 5 games in a row?! What a joke. The best you can do for Temple is an article featuring some Malvern Prep kid who is kicking for Navy?! Guess what Mike? THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY IS NOT LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA, TEMPLE IS! I think it's absurd that Temple football receives more coverage from national media outlets such as the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/sports/ncaafootball/23temple.html & http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/18/sports/ncaafootball/18east.html) and ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/11331/temples-next-win-is-two-decades-in-the-making) than it does from its own "hometown" paper! It's an absolute disgrace. I live in New York City, and I can find out more about Temple football by picking up a copy of the New York Times than I can by going to philly.com. Don't you think that there's something wrong with that?! And guess what Mike, WE HAVE A TEAM IN THE WORLD SERIES TOO! I don't understand what is wrong with the people running this newspaper. The lack of journalistic integrity truly amazes me. And you wonder why your subscription base is dropping off the face of the earth.
