It was a horrible embarrassment to the program and the school - and what a way for Al to start! But he vowed to make it better and,<BR/><BR/>He's made it a priority to get the kids an education. You can bet that he will have all of the scholarships back when it is "his guys" and "his results". <BR/><BR/>There is such a change in the Temple team - if you remember seeing them at UP in 2006 - they just looked little and slow and overwhelmed - <BR/><BR/>And sure they didn't have a great season in 2007 - but they were better - much better. <BR/><BR/>I like the way Golden coaches - both on and off the field. He's young - he needs experience - but he pairs his dedication and focus with some creativity on the field - it's refreshing.PSUgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443329123304015765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714045.post-27427759347857997112008-05-07T12:03:00.000-04:002008-05-07T12:03:00.000-04:00Dude, you got served by RUTSDude, you got served by RUTSNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346632367434990107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714045.post-53123289274015680062008-05-07T11:24:00.000-04:002008-05-07T11:24:00.000-04:00This really surprised me because Golden came from ...This really surprised me because Golden came from Penn State and knew what it took to be a good student and a good football player.

I think Temple has a tough time keeping the grades of their players up because they don't offer majors like "Recreational Park Management" and "Sports Science". So their athletes take much harder classes similar to what regular students take.<BR/><BR/>I'm going from memory so it's possible I'm wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
