New Logo

Yes, I *did* just discover Print Shop - and in tune with LehighSports.com's online makeover, I've decided to start the year with a brand-new logo on the top of the ol' blog. (That, and the fact that my header was cribbed from Lehigh's website, necessitated a change.)

Has everyone moseyed on over to LehighSports.com and seen the changes? Although I will miss the overhead shot of Goodman (filled I might add), it's a really snazzy job and brings the site more up-to-date.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Like the new logo and yes, the new Lehighsports.com is improved. I've even signed up for the sports package they have with yahoo.com to listen to any Lehigh sports event, as well as watch a lot I cannot get to via the video streaming.
Heard at the Pitt wrestling match tonight that OL Coach Powers was let go. Supposedly a lot of discontent among a number of players who had met with Dr. Joe before Coen was hired.

Wasn't given any specifics as the info I received was second hand.

Was checking out the new Lehighsports.com and clicked on the roster noted some names missing that are either an editing mistake or they have left the team. One is Mike Murawinski who played some DE this past year and looked to me to be a starter next year with a lot of promise. The other is Soph. Andre Hall-a big WR from Springfield, PA, who in the spring game last year also looked promising for this coming year. Any word on either and whether we have any other MIA's? Somewhat troubling....

Remembering Lehigh's Battles With The Late Tubby Raymond

(Photo Credits: Delaware Online)

When I heard the news Tubby Raymond, legendary Delaware head football coach, died last week at the age of 92, two immediate memories came rushing back to me.

One occurred on October 16th, 1999, when Tubby had made a complaint to the local paper or radio in the run-up to Kevin Higgins' Mountain Hawks beating his Blue Hens on Delaware's homecoming, 42-35.

I have no idea if the quote even actually happened, but my recollection is that Tubby said that Lehigh had "St. Bartholomew's" on their schedule, and hadn't played anybody.  It was a verbal jab that many Delaware fans took with them to the stands to heckle the Mountain Hawk fans that made the short trip to Newark.

Up until that point, I had watched a bunch of Lehigh football games over the years.  I experienced their rise in the 1990s.  I enjoyed wins, and championships, and playoff victories.

But never had I felt a win so viscerally vindicating than the one over Tubby Raymond&…

Lehigh Wrestling Gets Superstar Treatment at PPL Center. Lehigh Football Needs The Same At Murray Goodman.

"We knew it would be nice," Lehigh wrestling head coach Pat Santoro said. "But it was even better than we expected."

Pat was talking about the reception his Lehigh wrestling squad experienced at Allentown's PPL Center this weekend, when a sellout crowd over nearly 10,000 people came to watch No. 1 Penn State grapple with No. 5 Lehigh in a collegiate wrestling event.

It was, by all accounts, something special to behold. 

"I thought it was really cool and an exciting place to wrestle," said Penn State wrestler Nick Nevills. "These fans were really into it, a rowdy bunch. It's a lot more fun as an athlete to wrestle in an environment like this. I'd say it was one of the most exciting times I have had in my career."

The sense of spectacle at the PPL center, though, puts a spotlight on what more can be done at Lehigh itself to make their athletic contests into spectacles.  It requires money to be spent and energy to be expended.  But the…

Troy Pelletier Hasn't Stopped Outworking His Rivals On His Journey To Professional Football

Many Patriot League football fans remember the 153rd meeting between Lehigh and Lafayette, one that ended happily for the Mountain Hawks.

They might remember the MVP performance of QB Brad Mayes, or perhaps the halftime speech by OL Zach Duffy that seemed to spur the Mountain Hawks to victory.

Or perhaps they might remember the spectacular single play of Mayes rolling right and finding WR Gatlin Casey in the end zone to give the Mountain Hawks a lead they didn't relinquish.  It was an incredible play by Mayes, who returns this upcoming year for his senior season, and Casey, who, having exhausted his eligibility at Lehigh, will be playing one more year at Middle Tennessee State.

As great as those individual moments are, though, they are not my biggest takeaway of that game.

Too many Lehigh people forget that Lehigh was down 31-21 at half, and that victory was no sure thing.  And they sometimes forget that so much of that victory came from the grinding of WR Troy Pelletier, deliver…
