GameDay will be at the Temple / ND game
- Thread starter IrishBlooded
- Start date
Where else would they be?
An undefeated Temple vs. the biggest draw in the game. A no brainer for ESPN.

Okay espn........interview temple every second of every day this week & twice on gameday live......and leave ND alone!
Talk is cheap....BEAT temple!!!

Ok I am in Philly. My son goes to Temple. I can tell you that to say the campus is buzzing would be a huge understatement. Game day here in Philly is going to be insane. I kid you not. Saturday's weather right now looks sunny and 57 degrees. I hope that holds true. Anyway, this is really big for the city and Temple to say the least. Never could I have thought Temple would be undefeated playing the Irish. I'm psyched! This will be the only game I want Temple to lose. But ND better be ready. As I said many times the past week, a Temple wants this game and they are hungry. ND has to show up big time. Go Irish!!
Too many memories of when ND has crapped the bed against foes like Temple.
I get the feeling this year's team is a bit different. Kelly has instituted a strong sense of accountability with the players. We have to remember that half of the coaching staff is very new (Elliot-4th year, BVG-2nd, Denbrock-6th, Elston-6th, Sanford-1st, Booker-6th ,Denson-1st , Hiestand-4th , Gilmore-1st , Lyght-1st, Quinn-1st [although he is an Off Analyst]) so the team is also starting to mesh around them as well.
The players also have a strong sense of responsibility with their injured comrades.
This isn't the prediction thread, but I am going with 41-6 (not sure if it is 2 FG or a missed PAT). I am more worried (by a large margin) about Pitt - although I think ND wins by about 10 points > 24-14.

Is this really going to be a Temple home game? It's not even on campus and I have a feeling there will be lots of blue in the stands. Let Temple soak in the "GameDay" atmosphere. That's not on campus either. The Owls offense is ranked 108th in total offense. That might be a problem for them. Even with our defense. So, can Temple's fairly potent defense be enough to stop the Irish offense? Turnovers by the Irish offense can be the great neutralizer. Let's end this thing by halftime and call it a night.
this game comes down to two players irish jack and those two are fuller,cj. if temple cannot contain both players then it will be a long night for them, but if they can hold down both players to an average or below average game like Clemson did then this could be a closer game than us irish fans want
True, the city is going crazy for Temple right now, but the stadium will be mostly ND. Temple fans and area bandwagon fans got on board too late...the tickets were already gone.
Love seeing another ND game in prime time. Already preparing my craft beer selection for the game.
A good indicator of crowd ration might be the Penn State game at Temple in early September. it was about 60-40, Temple, and the Nits always make it their business to get to the Linc for Temple games. They always get out in front of it, but I think a lot of Temple fans knew this could be a good year, too, because season tickets were up quite a bit.
No doubt there will be a strong ND contingent there Saturday, but I doubt it eclipses the 40 percent of Penn Staters. It's going to be a lot of fun no matter what.
