CFB Week 9 Lehigh Fan Viewing Guide

It's that time of the week where I share with you your weekly Lehigh fan viewing guide for Week 9 of the college football season.  Why go to website after website when all the information you need is right here?

If you are not able to attend the game this weekend at Bucknell you can follow the game from the following sources:


Online Streaming: Patriot League Network (free)

Radio:   ESPN Radio 1230 and 1320

Internet:  Lehighsports.com/ESPNLV.com

After the game, there are a boatload of important games, most which are available via live streams!


Saturday, October 19th:

12:00 PM EST, Towson at Richmond
TV: Comcast Sports Net
LFN Watch Level: Blue (Elevated)

You'll need something to pass the time while waiting for Lehigh/Bucknell at 1PM.  Put Tom Fallon on the radio, and Towson, a potential Patriot League opponent in the playoffs, on the TV.

1:00 PM EST, Lafayette At Holy Cross
Video Streaming at: Patriot League Network (free)
LFN Watch Level: Burnt Orange (Scouting Potential)

1:00 PM EST, Colgate At Georgetown
Video Streaming at: Patriot League Network (free)
LFN Watch Level: Orange (Scouting Potential)

I know not everyone's like me, but this is one case where I wish that there was some central authority that could have rescheduled at least one of these games for 3:30 so, as a Lehigh fan, I wouldn't need to choose my team and one of these other games, both which have, of course, big implications in the Patriot League title race.  As it stands, they only become possible to switch if Lehigh/Bucknell finishes early.  (Or if you live in the Worcester, Mass. area, where you can catch the Holy Cross game on Charter TV 3).

1:00 PM EST, Princeton at Harvard
TV: FCS Atlantic
LFN Watch Level: Blue (DVR potential)

Not only will this likely go a very long way towards determining the Ivy League champions this season, it is a surprisingly good old-fashioned rivalry that should be a great game.  The winner, certainly, will be in a lot of Top 25 ballots when it's done.

5:00 PM EST,  Eastern Illinois At Tennessee State
Video Streaming: OVC Digital Network (free)
LFN Watch Level: Red (Important Game)

If you can fins a way to get out of the yardwork after Lehigh/Bucknell, frankly, there's not a lot of great games on in the afternoon in the FCS or FBS levels (believe me, I checked).  In the afternoon games, though, this OVC battle will go a long way towards determining their champion and also can serve as a scouting report of WR Erik Lora, Eastern Illinois' top receiver that is the only player even close to WR Lee "Mr. Leegistics" Kurfis and Fordham WR Sam Ajala in terms of statistics in the passing game.  Add to that a peek at Eastern Illinois QB Jimmy Garropolo, and that makes this a solid game to check out.

Best of all, it's a free game on the OVC Digital Network.  Worth a check.

7:00 PM EST,  UCLA At Oregon
TV: ESPN
LFN Watch Level: Blue (Elevated)

If you absolutely, positively refuse to watch the World Series, this game should be a pretty good one to catch.

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. W

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.
