Patience, Monty, Climb The Ladder

Temple

There were two big upsets in the college football world yesterday. USC opened the door to West Virginia getting their asses spanked by either Michigan or Ohio State by dropping a 33-31 game at Oregon State. The other upset was the 28-14 win by the Temple Owls over Bowling Green. Temple's win snapped a 20-game losing skid and prompted one of the best responses I've ever read on the internet (via Deadspin).

Mike Gibson runs a site called Temple Football Forever and I can only admire a man with such dedication to a football program that's been down for an awfully long time. He's held onto some serious anger at a writer named Karl Smith who wrote an article on October 5, 2004 welcoming Temple to the Mid-American Conference. Bowling Green, a MAC mainstay, was Smith's alma mater and said he looked forward to hanging 70 on the Owls.

Biding his time like a skilled sniper Gibson waited for more than two years of losing, reading Smith's jibes who knows how many times, dreaming of a chance to get his just desserts. And got them he did yesterday, teaching us all a lesson in persistence.
