I tuned in today in the car in the middle of a Temple lovefest, as they were discussing how Rhea Hughes, Mark Farsetta, Rob Charry (all of whom were on the show) all went to Temple and they named others. They also talked about Temple playing Penn State and Notre Dame this year and what a good coach Ruhle (sp?) is. Morganti (who did not go there) said he was always told if you wanted to be good in communications then go to temple and if you wanted to be good in business, go to Villanova. Of course, Charry comes up with the tired refrain that Villanova isn't even in the city, and said "what have they ever won" (although I could tell he said it tongue in cheek.). Morganti said, they've won a lot out there. Then he said he thought Andy Talley was the best football coach in the area and that included Chip Kelly. He praised all the success that Andy has had there. There wasn't much of a response. Nice to hear Morganti say that, though.
 
Temple has this "fairy tale" view of itself. They get far too much media coverage for the success, or lack thereof, of their sports programs.
 
It was more that the hosts were patting themselves on the back for having so many Temple alums on the station.
