We Thought Owls Could Fly?

Phillyist just came across an interesting tidbit while scouring philly.com blogs: The Temple Owls and coach Fran Dunphy will be taking the subway to their game versus the Duke Blue Devils at the Wachovia Center tonight. Coach says, "This is a tremendous opportunity for our team to travel as Philadelphians do on a daily basis to and from work," and so it is. Good for them. But just a heads up to all those commuters that the boys will be heading out at 4:45, getting on the Broad Street Line at Cecil B. Moore and off at Pattison, so if you’re heading south you may run into a wall of owls. Luckily they don’t bite—unless you’re a devil.

The Owls are going to try to break a seven-game losing streak against Duke tonight; if you’re not heading out to the game you can hear all the action on 1210 AM WPHT or better yet watch it on ESPN. Phillyist will actually be standing in line tonight at the Comcast payment center getting a new receiver, and cursing our luck. Hopefully we’ll be home in time to see Temple clean up.
