Monmouth Makes Temple Question Div I Status

[TexasTerror]

Wow. 35-1. Did Temple even score 35 points during football season? And to have a team like Monmouth, run up the score like that on them. NCAA records falling left and right. Temple needs to just rid of athletics if they keep up at this rate!

AMBLER, PA – Monmouth had 35 hits off six Temple pitchers and coasted to a 35-1 win over the Owls on Wednesday at Ambler Field. The Hawks scored in all but one inning, including an 11-run seventh, and five players had at least four hits. Sophomore Devon Swope doubled and scored for TU.

Monmouth (9-10) won its sixth straight game and provided an offensive outburst worthy of the record books. The 35 runs were the most scored against Temple (6-16) in program history and MU’s 35 hits rank seventh in the NCAA annals. Junior Kyle Messineo tied an NCAA record with two triples in the 11-run seventh.

All but two of the runs were earned as Monmouth hit nearly every ball hard and most found open ground. The Hawks compiled 17 extra-base hits, including ten doubles.

TT you seriously need to get a life. :smiley_wi :smiley_wi

REALLY Reading the Temple websites?????:eyebrow: :eyebrow:

I truly appreciate the articles you bring to all of our attention but the reality is that Temple is a D-1 school in basketball only. All other sports are an after thought at this City School.

In I-AA football Temple would not be a top 20 team even with 85 scholarships. They are the third best football team in Philly. Stick to the Southland and Swac posts. They actually give us some info that those of us in the Mid Atlantic don't already know.:nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

Before reading the article further, I was thinking 'how can a team only score one-point in a football game?'

I was thinking football since the header said '..makes Temply question DI status'. xlolx

It was under 'Other Sports'... :)

Nope. Read the score on a college baseball forum that I frequent and they had a post about Temple/Monmouth. Thought it was too good to pass up...

Our baseball team is brutal. the players could careless about the team they rather hang out at the "baseball house" while getting a free ride. Our womens bball program will be a fixture in the top 25 as long as Dawn Staley stays, and there's no reason she'd leave. Our mens bball team has fallen on mediocrity the last 5 years but has atleast been a bubble team, no luck getting in, since their Elite 8 run in 2001. I really believe the football program is on the upswing with the entrance into the MAC. Al Golden has brought in a lot of energy and a half decent recruiting class in his first offseason as coach. If we can go 5-6 in our first year in the MAC i think it will be good sign for the future. With a little better coaching and slightly better talent we should be able to beat the Buffalo's, WMU and Kent State's of the world. I think it'll take 3-4 years and improved recruiting before we even start to challenge Toledo, NIU, and Bowling Green. The continues to be grumblings of trying to get an on campus facility. While some outsiders might think it would be impossible to put a stadium in North Philly the way the campus has developed the area in the last 5 years it's becomming increasingly possible. If a large donor would come forward i really think we might have one in the next 10 years.
