My friends who have met Steve Addazio says the man is infectious, so I guess I'll have to use the Dial Anti-bacterial soap I have in my gym bag before meeting coach for the first time on Thursday.
Err, maybe not.
"Mike, I mean his enthusiasm is infectious," my friend, Ted, said.
I usually don't make very many Temple basketball games (I did see the win over Georgetown, though), but I will be going this Thursday, 5:30-6:30, for the Steve Addazio Meet and Greet. So, since I'm there, I will go see the Owls play Richmond in an important hoops game that night.
Al Golden was very good with these types of things and I hear that Addazio is even better.
All I really care about, though, is Steve pounding the heck out of Villanova to jump-start our season and he and his Owligator staff finding a way to beat Penn State with Temple talent.
That's what it will take to shake a Temple fan base that has been encrusted deep into the Earth's core for the last 30 years. Not even a million meet and greets can match what those six hours of football can do.
The university has released this on the night's events:
Join fellow Temple fans for a meet and greet with Temple's new head football coach: Steve Addazio.
