Your Bye Week Patriot League Viewing Guide And Fearless Predictions

Its a bye week, but that doesn't mean the college football world stops.

Four Patriot League games are happening this weekend, including one tonight, on Friday.

Lafayette heads up to the Bronx to take on Fordham in a nationally-televised tilt on CBS Sports Network (check to see if your local cable company carries it).

It's a huge early game that will put the winner in the driver's seat for the title, and the loser squarely behind the eight-ball in terms of a Patriot League championsip.

Patriot League Scoreboard

On Saturday, there are three games available starting at noon, Harvard at Georgetown, Bucknell at Bryant, and Holy Cross at Colgate.

Harvard at Georgetown requires a paid subscription to Hoyas All-Access.  (12:00 PM)

Bucknell at Bryant is available to stream for free via NEC Front Row.  (1:00 PM)

Holy Cross at Colgate is available to stream for free via the Patriot League Network.  (1:00 PM) If you live somewhat local to Hamilton, New York, the game is also available on TV via Time Warner Cable.

After those games there is a real buffet of different great FBS college football games to watch after 3:30 PM - Stanford/Notre Dame, Baylor/Texas, not to mention Arizona State at USC and Nebraska at Michigan State in the evening, all on major TV stations.

As for FCS offerings, Monmouth at Robert Morris is available to see how they follow up their big win against Lehigh, on NEC Front Row (3:00 PM)

After that, of the most intriguing might be UT Martin at Jacksonville State, an OVC matchup that pits two perennial contenders against each other early in their title race. That game will be available on ESPN3 as an intriguing alternative to the FBS games.  (4:00 PM)

Other games featuring Lehigh's other 2014 opponents are Yale at Cornell, which you can access if you have a subscription to the Ivy League Digital Network (12:00 PM).

New Hampshire at Elon will be happening at 1:30 PM and a live feed should be available here.

James Madison at Albany is happening at 6:00 PM and will also be streamed (subscription might be required).

My picks for this weekend's Patriot League games:

Lafayette 31, Fordham 28
Harvard 37, Georgetown 0
Bryant 23, Bucknell 21
Colgate 35, Holy Cross 27

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....

UMass 21, Lafayette 14, halftime

Are you watching this game? UMass had this game under control until about 3 minutes in the second quarter, and then got an interception, converted for a TD. Then the Leopards forced a fumble off the return, and then converted THAT for a TD, making this a game. It's on CN8. You really should be watching this.

Examining A Figure Skating Rivalry: Tonya and Nancy

It must be very hard for a millennial to understand the fuss around the Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding figure skating scandal in the run-up to the 1994 Olympics. If you're of a certain age, though - whether you're a figure skating fan or not, and I am decidedly no fan of figure skating - the Shakespearean story of Harding and Kerrigan still engages, and still grabs peoples' attention, twenty years later. Why, though?  Why, twenty years later, in a sport I care little, does the story still grab me?  Why did I spend time out of my life watching dueling NBC and ESPN documentaries on the subject, and Google multiple stories about Jeff Gilooly , idiot "bodyguards", and the whole sordid affair? I think it's because the story, even twenty years later, is like opium. The addictive story, even now, has everything.  Everything.  The woman that fought for everything, perhaps crossing over to the dark side to get her chance at Olypic Gold, vs. the woman who...
