Drink of the Week for "The Rivalry"?

Thought I'd try something interesting here. I'd like to hear your nominations for "LFN's Drink of the Week" for "The Rivalry" (or Lehigh/Lafayette, for you newcomers here). What drink sums up this year's game in Easton? Yuengling? Any variety of wine? Perhaps a drink including Jagermeister?

After the Bucknell game, I'll put up a poll with everyone's favorites, and you, the readers, will decide what the drink will be! And the winning drink will be posted in my preview of the game next Thursday,

Leave a comment on this post with your nomination below!

Chuck,

For starters, you need to stop touting Yuengling like its a good beer. Despite it being a relatively local product and one of the Yuengling daughters being an LU alum, Yuengling should not be considered the Lehigh beer of choice.

Ok, now that I've finally gotten that one off my chest after all these years, I'll put forward the Hot Chocalate with Rumpelminze drink. L-L is usually cold and tailgating begins early, so you need something to warm you up and this does the trick. This should be followed by Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest beer. (Yes, I know it's no longer Oktoberfest, but this fits the bill by being a great beer to drink in cold, but not yet winter temps)

And what's wrong with Yuengling Mr Snob? We of the Great Unwashed prefer it to swill like Bud, PBR or Miller. We don't need no stinkin' foreign beer to get tanked-up. Besides, what difference does it make when all of our drinks will be diluted by our tears?

I think a "Nasty Jack" is in order, because it has been a nasty season.

In a shot glass, mix:
1 part Jack Daniels
1 part Yukon Jack
1 part Apple Jack

Yes, it lives up to its name, but 8 or 12 of these and you should forget about this season.

Since you asked, anonymous, I'll tell you what is wrong with Yuengling. First it uses corn in place of malt, which weakens the flavor and is a cost-cutting measure (Bud does the same thing). It also has high-levels of DMS or dimethyl sulfide, which producess a corn-like aroma and flavor and is estery. None of these are qualities of good beer.

My previous comment had nothing to do with the Great Unwashed or hoi-polloi.

Lastly, I'm more optimistic this year than the past couple that our tears will be ones of joy than sorrow on Nov. 22nd.

I will second the Hot Chocolate with Rumpleminze nomination. Sounds perfect for a cold day in Easton.

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....

Merrimack at Lehigh Game Breakdown and Fearless Prediction, 9/28/2019

It's what we do every week: copiously go over the opposing game notes and analyze the upcoming game matchup.  I'm starting to call these the "football nerd" previews because it feels like the audience for these detailed team breakdowns are other football nerds like myself.  For Lehigh fans, there is no greater need for a "football nerd"-level breakdown of an opponent than Merrimack.  Few opponents have been as big as an unknown to Mountain Hawk fans as the school that formed right after World War II in North Andover, Massachusetts.  Helping that sense of mystery is that the Merrimack Athletics' website offers no football game notes, and when you click on the link called "Weekly Two-Deep", you get a two-deep from 2018. Merrimack, until recently a member of the Northeast-10 conference in Division II, announced they are going to join the NEC as a full Division I member in time for the 2023-2024 season. “The College’s 2011 strategic ...

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.
