America saw a campaign unlike any in history on Tuesday. This was the day social media made politics a communal experience. David Schuff, associate professor of management information systems at Temple's Fox School of Business, said that "one thing I am seeing on Twitter and Facebook is that people are making voting a viral, communal experience." On Facebook and Twitter, many shared pictures of "I Voted" badges and stickers. Schuff saw people "interacting on social media while waiting in line to vote — I've seen some ask for last-minute advice on local candidates."

The Temple Owls have their leader back. That was obvious during the Owls' media day, when members of the team were asked about Scootie Randall's return after redshirting last season. “We need Scootie. We need his voice. We need his toughness. We need his shooting ability. We need his experience. So, anytime you can get that much of an opportunity to play somebody like that, it's helping your team,” said Owls coach Fran Dunphy.
