There are PLENTY of Temple Owls on both sides of tonight’s Super Bowl matchup! I wish them all luck, but one guy in particular holds a special place in my heart...Tampa Bay Buccaneers Safeties Coach Nick Rapone! My first couple of years on the Temple Football team were spent on the scout team, which meant I spent a hefty amount of my formative D-I years with the defensive side of the ball. More specifically, Coach Rapone as he ran the scout team. Rapone was HIGHLY respected...if he stamped you, you KNEW you were legit, because compliments from him were more rare than cheesesteak shops running out of cheese! Two football instances I’ll never forget... 1) At the end of practice on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s, we would scrimmage 1’s vs 2’s and VERY rarely 1’s vs 1’s. Only a handful of players got reps in that team period!! Some scholarship players didn’t even get reps. I had just made the team less than a month earlier (Yes...I did the Hardaway. No PWO life for me), and Rapone called me ...
