Temple university

= TU
I'll trust that you are correct.
As an added cherry, I re-Googled "TU Owls" and got Temple. I guess I missed something the first time.

I remember one year, maybe 2001 or 2002, A&M played four teams that were called “Cowboys”. 

oSU, Wyoming, McNeese, and one more I can’t remember.

I just looked it up. 2001, and we only played 3 teams named Cowboys. But they were b2b.

That’s got to be some kind of record. But there is probably somebody who played teams named Tigers or Bulldogs 3x.

You could almost do that just by playing in the SEC West.  Anybody in the west in the past 12 years who also played Mizzou, would have done it.  If you happened to have Clemson outta conference that same year, then oh boy! :)

(I'm far too lazy to look that up, of course)

It'd be cool to play Penn State, Clemson, and Baylor in consecutive weeks.

Lions and Tigers and Bears.  Oh my!

So, does the fact that his 2nd year at Temple was much better than his 1st give you some hope for a good 2024 for the Huskers?

You did not.

And Missouri did not play any team named Tigers that year.

yes, but many times any coach's 2nd season will show decent improvement 

his 2nd season at Baylor was better

Hell, if he can just find some luck with the turnovers or coach them out of the games there will be much improvement in wins and losses

Often, Year Two for coaches can be quite a bit better.  I recall Mark Richt was 8-4 in year one, and 12-1 I think in year two with a conference championship.  Kirby was 8-5 in year one and played for the natty in year two.

I think usually it would be with a program that had a lot of talent but was undercoached.

I think the next school that the SEC should grab during realignment, is Yale.  That will even up the Tiger and Bulldog quotient for the conference.

One of youz eggheads should write an algorithm (back in the day we just called it a program) to scour the records and find the record for the team that played an opponent with the same nick name the most times in a row.  I wonder what the record is?  I can see a team playing a team with the same nickname 3-5 times in one season.  
I guess you could shorten the program by just finding teams that played some variation of bulldogs, tigers, aggies (there are 3-5 that I know of), etc.  Not sure what nickname is the most popular, but I'd wager on Bulldogs and Tigers.
