Friday Extras: WIP's Political Madness, Temple's March Sadness

It's a tough morning for Temple fans, who yesterday saw Fran Dunphy's squad get dismantled by Michigan State. Nothing was falling for the Owls, who looked a little lost under the national spotlight, and MSU's defense was stifling. In any case, it was a milestone for Dunphy to even get them there this year, and there's plenty to be excited about in this team's future. As soon as the hang over wears off, that is... We hit up Campbell's Boat House in Media, which was a full-on Temple bar, with plenty of Dunphy's in attendance. Great times, despite the loss. Pic after the jump.

What else is going on? For starters:
•610 WIP is being mentioned on everything from the Huffington Post to CNN (and our favorite, Dan Gross), because Barack Obama used an unfortunate choice of words when he was on with Angelo & Co. [Mighty Dan Gross]
•Down the dial, Mike Missanelli is returning to Philly on the newly rebranded 950 ESPN.
•It's Good Friday, and WaWa's cookin breakfast with no hog.
•Leave Allen's mom alone. Seriously... [Hugging Harold Reynolds]
•St. Joe's and 'Nova look to do what Temple couldn't, and play the upsetters tonight.
•J. Weitzel brings us the good, the bad, and the uggos of spring training stats. [Beerleaguer]
•Duke was almost upset by 15 seed Belmont last night, needing a last-minute shot by Gerald Henderson to win it. Dana O'Neil has the coverage at ESPN. We miss her in Philly. [ESPN]
•Mark Rypien's cousin is an NHL enforcer. [Mr. Irrelevant]
•How many times do you think a Red Sox player says, "Now I know how Dice-K feels" before it gets totally old? Nothing builds team chemistry like 15 hour flights and Geisha girls.
