Temple was the final Philadelphia college football team to be in action this season, and were able to end a miserable season on a high note. The Owls took a 3-0 lead on a first quarter field goal (yes, they actually made a field goal), and never relinquished the lead, topping Memphis 41-21.

What have we learned through the first four weeks of the NBA season? We know that the Western Conference is as good as a bag of Buffalo flavored Pretzel Crisps, which needless to say is very good, and the Eastern Conference is the polar opposite.  In fact, the Denver Nuggets, who are 13 out of 15 teams in the West, would be the 6 seed if they were in the East.  The good news for the Nuggets is that the playoffs don't start until April, so the citizens of Denver have plenty of time to figure out how to move their entire city about 1000 miles or so east.

Villanova and Penn both finished up their seasons this weekend, as the city went 1-2 overall. While Villanova rallied late to win, Penn's rally fell just short and Temple was the victims of a Connecticut comeback.

Bobby Rainey and Donald Brown proved why it is wise to play the waiver wire, though there's a good chance if you had Rainey you didn't start him anyway. This week will be pivotal for determining playoff positions for many. I hope you all are mature out there and punish the last place teams in your league. This will ensure healthy competition through Week 16. Use the Week 12 rankings after the jump to help....hopefully.

A few weeks back we had a battle royale to determine who would win a fight amongst the City 6 college mascots. Today, we will look at the professional and college mascots from the major schools around the city and rank them purely based on awesomeness and their abilities as a mascot.

Temple and Penn were in action this weekend, while Villanova had the week off. Both teams came out on the losing end, but there were positives to be found in defeat.

Temple had the week off, so just Villanova and U Penn were in action this weekend for the Philly College Football squads. Villanova won in a route, but the Quakers were not as lucky, as they fell in their Ivy League matchup.

We at the BSB are passionate sports fans.  If we weren't, then we definitely signed up for the wrong genre of blog.  Most of, if not all of, our readers are huge sports fans as well. There are many things about sports to love, from the anything-can-happen feeling of Opening Day, to a come from behind rally to win a game, or even recording the final out to clinch the championship.  All of these moments are certainly great.  However, one of my personal favorite things to do while attending a sporting event takes place before and, if you do it correctly, after the event itself.  That's right folks, I'm talking about tailgating.

It was a rough weekend to be a college football fan in Philadelphia, as all three teams took the loss. While Temple and Villanova kept things close in their respective games, U Penn was completely annihilated in Ivy League action.
