Temple opts for live entertainment during training camp warmups

Who needs a DJ to provide pre-practice tunes when you can have live music? Certainly not the Temple football team.

Sharga taught himself to play the electric guitar at 13 and even though football is his main focus, he says playing a little everyday is a great outlet.

He gained some new fans yesterday as the rest of his team rocked out to his performance as they made their way onto the field.

Good to know we aren't the only ones who enjoyed Sharga's rockstar moment.
