Temple Supporters Flock To The Draught Horse For The Boca Raton Bowl
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- With the game not even on yet, fans took to the Draught Horse on Temple University's campus, to catch the Temple Owls in the Boca Raton Bowl.
"It's over break, so everyone is going home to see their family. I'm sure everyone is watching the game at home," junior Greg Stricker told Eyewitness News.
The crowd did pick up for fans both new and old watching their now popular Owls.
"As an alumni, it's really really exciting to see the school get more and more notoriety," Alum Janesa Urbano said as she rooted her team on.
Urbano remembers the darker days, but now even has her daughter excited about the team.
"As someone really not into sports and now finally sitting and enjoying a sports game with my family because it's huge in our family, it's pretty awesome. I couldn't be happier really," Adrianna Urbano said.
"I'm going to be honest. Up until this year, I did not go to any or most football games, I should say," senior Claudia Stiles-Ennis said.
And since Stiles-Ennis is sitting here with friends, it shows just how popular the Temple Owls have become.
The fans in the North Philadelphia bar cheered on their Owls, but the team was unable to deliver a win as the Owls fell to Toledo, 32-17 in the Boca Raton Bowl.
