Being a Temple sports fan means accepting odd things happening at strange times that seem to stunt the Owls’ growth in the two marquee sports. Fans can now add the latest episode of Snowmageddon to the history of bad luck.
With only a few days to go before signing day, the Owls reserved this weekend to try and close the deal on five top-ranked football recruits, and the crippling blizzard that will eventually drop 24 inches on the campus cannot help things. Once in a while the Owls will find a player from Florida who never saw snow and considers it the greatest thing in the world so he decides to commit on the spot.
