Quietly, Lehigh Announces Game Times for 2011

You probably didn't notice it this week - heck, I didn't - but Lehigh posted their game times for the 2011 season.

All six home games will have a 12:30 kickoff time. No word, though, as to when the parking lots open and when they'll be open to pre-game tailgating. (more)

With no lights for night football at Murray Goodman, it's no surprise that all the games will be day games. In prior years, early season games kicked off at 1:00PM, which was perfect for me, who seems to be chronically showing up too close to kickoff.

Interestingly, it also means that there are only two chances this year at night games: at Princeton on 9/17, or at Fordham on 10/15. Fordham has already announced that the Lehigh game will be played at 1:00PM, but the Lehigh website lists the game as "TBD".

Historically, Princeton has frequently made their season opening home game a night game, so there is a fair chance that it will be a 6PM or 7PM kickoff. Two years ago, Princeton hosted Lehigh in a night game that was carried on FCS College Sports. (Lehigh lost a close one, 10-7.)

Here's the schedule, updated with game times, from the Lehigh web site.

09/03/2011 at Monmouth (West Long Branch, NJ), 1:00 PM
09/10/2011 New Hampshire (Goodman Stadium), 12:30 PM
09/17/2011 at Princeton (Princeton, NJ), TBA

10/01/2011 Yale (Goodman Stadium), 12:30 PM

10/15/2011 at Fordham* (Bronx, NY), TBA
10/29/2011 at Colgate* (Hamilton, NY), 12:00 PM

How The Ivy League Is Able To Break the NCAA's Scholarship Limits and Still Consider Themselves FCS

By now you've seen the results.  In 2018, the Ivy League has taken the FCS by storm. Perhaps it was Penn's 30-10 defeat of Lehigh a couple of weeks ago .  Or maybe it was Princeton's 50-9 drubbing of another team that made the FCS Playoffs last year, Monmouth.  Or maybe it was Yale's shockingly dominant 35-14 win over nationally-ranked Maine last weekend. The Ivy League has gone an astounding 12-4 so far in out-of-conference play, many of those wins coming against the Patriot League. But it's not just against the Patriot League where the Ivy League has excelled.  Every Ivy League school has at least one out-of-conference victory, which is remarkable since it is only three games into their football season.  The four losses - Rhode Island over Harvard, Holy Cross over Yale, Delaware over Cornell, and Cal Poly over Brown - were either close losses that could have gone either way or expected blowouts of teams picked to be at the bottom of the Ivy League.

Made-Up Midseason Grades for Lehigh Football

 We are now officially midway through the 2023 Lehigh football season.  The Mountain Hawks sit at 1-5 overall, and 0-1 in the Patriot League. I thought I'd go ahead and make up some midseason grades, and set some "fan goals" for the second half. The 2023 Mountain Hawks were picked to finish fifth in the seven team Patriot League.  In order to meet or exceed that expectation, they'll probably have to go at least 3-2 the rest of the way in conference play.  Their remaining games are vs. Georgetown, at Bucknell, vs. Holy Cross, at Colgate, and vs. Lafayette in The Rivalry. Can they do it? Culture Changing: B+ .  I was there in the Bronx last week after the tough 38-35 defeat to Fordham, and there wasn't a single player emerging from the locker room that looked like they didn't care.  Every face was glum.  They didn't even seem sad.  More frustrated and angry. That may seem normal, considering the agonizing way the Mountain Hawks lost, but it was a marked chan

Fifteen Guys Who Might be Lehigh's Next Football Coach (and Five More)

If you've been following my Twitter account, you might have caught some "possibilities" as Lehigh's next head football coach like Lou Holtz, Brett Favre and Bo Pelini .  The chance that any of those three guys actually are offered and accept the Lehigh head coaching position are somewhere between zero and zero.  (The full list of my Twitter "possibilities" are all on this thread on the Lehigh Sports Forum .) However the actual Lehigh head football coaching search is well underway, with real names and real possibilities. I've come up with a list of fifteen possible names, some which I've heard whispered as candidates, others which might be good fits at Lehigh for a variety of reasons. UPDATE: I have found five more names of possible head coaches that I am adding to this list below. Who are the twenty people?  Here they are, in alphabetical order.
