During its last match, night already falling, the fate of the men’s tennis team had already been decided as the Owls were about to lose their fifth straight contest on a chilly Friday.
However, that didn’t stop the squad from gathering around and cheering on junior Eduardo Saavedra as he won his singles match, 10-8, on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rivalry.
It’s what fuels sports, it’s what makes it go, makes it fun, makes it intense, compelling and dramatic.
While the college basketball world is fixated on match-ups like Duke-North Carolina and Kentucky-Louisville, here in Philadelphia, it’s all about the Big 5.
And these days, no rivalry inside a rivalry stands taller than Temple and Saint Joseph’s. Say [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s exactly what the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors did. They ran the table and went a clean 12-0 in the regular season.
Now they should be playing for the BCS National Championship.
Yes, I said it.

The Owls dropped another game against a big-time opponent, falling to No. 9 Duke Wednesday night, 74-64.
The Owls (6-7) got another big-time output from junior guard Dionte Christmas. Christmas [...]]]></description>

After blowing double-digit leads in back-to-back losses to Providence and the College of Charleston at the Puerto Rico Tip Off Classic, Temple strung together two consecutive victories against Marist and Bowling Green to crawl within a game .500. Then, they lost [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The football team entered this season with a goal, which was to win the Mid-American Conference.
Some might have thought the goal was a lofty one, being this was the Owls&#8217; first season as full-fledged members of the conference. They were coming off of an 1-11 campaign the previous year.
But coach Al Golden did not flinch.

Sophomore Dy&#8217;Onne Crudup was a quarterback and running back at Hyde Leadership School, in Hamden, Conn., leading his team to back-to-back state titles under center.
But Crudup did his thing against Kent State, catching seven [...]]]></description>

Temple blew a 25-point halftime lead, allowing the Cougers to shoot 68 percent in the second half to win the game, 79-76, at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Classic. This came one day [...]]]></description>

But what a difference a year makes.

Cosmetically, the jerseys have changed, but that&#8217;s not the makeover that really has made the difference this season.
The difference has been a makeover in the team&#8217;s attitude.
After dropping the first five games of the season, something happened.

More than 50 percent of the players on Football Bowl Subdivision Championship (formerly known as Division I-A) teams are black, according to the Black Coaches and Administrators Web site.
Yet, only six of the 119 head coaches in the FBS are black. A seventh minority head coach, Mario Cristobal, is Latino.

The Owls overcame adversity again, defeating Miami (Ohio), 24-17, Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field to improve to 3-5 overall and 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference.

A big hit by red-shirt junior Omar McDonnaugh-Hales forced Connecticut quarterback Tyler Lorenzen to cough [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was an air of confidence surrounding the football team as it entered its second game of the season Saturday, against Buffalo. Sure, the Owls had lost their season-opener a week earlier, 30-19, to Navy, but they had scored 19 points, a feat they accomplished just three times in 2006.
The defense had also demonstrated the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Four massive venues rest amid a concrete desert just above the Philadelphia Navy yard. These stadiums house four of this city’s best-known sports teams – the Eagles, Flyers, Phillies and 76ers.
These teams are often highlighted on TV, covered in the news pages and discussed in the talk-radio airwaves, just like most professional teams.
But let’s face [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you thought John Chaney displayed
an intimidating demeanor on the sidelines,
imagine talking to him one-on-one.
I&#8217;ll admit that it was daunting . . . but

time it took for the former coach to rise
from his chair and welcome me into his
Liacouras Center office with a warm handshake and an ear-to-ear [...]]]></description>

And, for the first time in 18 seasons, he&#8217;ll utilize the visiting locker room there. He might even be the subject of one of those clever banners constructed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late in the evening of Nov. 9, many Philadelphians complained about a loud, sudden noise.
It wasn&#8217;t a fight or a domestic dispute, just a bunch of rowdy college kids excited over a big football win. But the game was played an hour away.
But the aftermath from then-undefeated
and No. 15 Rutgers&#8217; victory over then-No. 3 Louisville [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1993, the Garrison Dodgers baseball team from Washington, D.C. found themselves 0-5 and on the tail-end of a 24-0 drubbing against the defending Bethesda Chevy Chase Little League baseball champions.
Coming off a winless season, many of the players on the team figured this year wouldn&#8217;t be any different, including me.
However, in the next game, [...]]]></description>
