EagleBank Bowl to Feature Temple, Hopefully Bill Cosby Insanity

The second year EagleBank Bowl doesn't offer many reasons to tune in to ESPN today at 4:30. It features a disappointing 6-6 UCLA team and perennial doormat Temple, who have greatly improved with a 9-3 record this year. But if you are near a TV at the start of this game today, do yourself a favor and turn on ESPN for at least the first 15 minutes or so.

Why? Because there is a chance for pure television magic courtesy of William H. Cosby Ed.D. It's no secret Cosby went to, and loves, Temple. Last year ESPN had Cosby do an introduction for a game between Temple and Ohio, and the result may have been the best 30 seconds of TV in 2008.

If there is even a chance that Cosby can be similarly insane today on ESPN you owe it to yourself to watch.
