Temple had the smart idea to do it up right, with a halftime ceremony during Wednesday night's Big Five game with Penn to honor Al Shrier. Shrier retired 17 years ago and showed up for work the following Monday. He has the title of special assistant to Temple's athletic director. Asked why he stays, Shrier told the full room: "I don't know. It's amazing how time flies. I just keep meeting more people,” said Shrier.
