Two intriguing releases on Lehigh's web site today, and some information on Lehigh's broadcast schedule: Mountain Hawks start two-a-days Allotment for Delaware sold out Lehigh Announces Broadcast Schedule Worthy of reprinting here: Following the team’s first evening practice of the preseason, fifth year head coach Pete Lembo said he was pleased with the team’s effort to this point. “I am pleased, but not surprised, with the physical condition of our team at this point,” Lembo explained. “With almost two-thirds of the group spending at least part of their summer here in Bethlehem, we had a good idea of their commitment level and intensity of training before they officially reported on August 9th. Several players, including some of our linemen, made solid gains in the bench, squat, vertical jump and standing broad jump over the summer.” While many of the veterans stuck around over the summer to stay in shape and improve their strength, Lembo points out that several of the team’s

I know it's late, but from today's camp notes on Arizona Cardinals official website, this begs reposting here: Tight End Race The Cardinals lack experience at the tight end position this season, but rookie free agent Adam Bergen has stood out throughout training camp.

It's been a week, and there is absolutely no excuse for my not posting in this space. Yes, I have been busy with my Top 20 countdown of I-AA fans , but that's no excuse for not feeding your hunger for Lehigh football. Can you believe that Lehigh's opening day vs. Monmouth is only 16 short days away? And just across the way from the media circus that is Eagles training camp, Lehigh is conducting its one-a-day and two-a-day practices. Lehigh has been practicing for more than a week now - they opened camp last Wednesday. If you want to pop your head into practice (they are free and open to the public), you can click on this link to find out the schedule. This coming Satuday at 1:45 will see Lehigh practicing in Murray Goodman - if the weather holds up, that should be a great day to attend practice. (If I wasn't going to be out of town this weekend, I would seriously consider going.) Soon I will have a listing of what questions need answering in this training camp.
