How Will I Watch Lehigh at Colgate This Afternoon?

Not headed to the the frozen tundra this afternoon to catch the Lehigh/Colgate rivalry?

OK. I do sort-of understand. My sled dogs are in the shop, too. Besides, it is really tough on them to pull the smoker up to central New York when the temperature is 80 degrees.

So how do you catch the game?

Never fear. LFN's here.

Kickoff time at Andy Kerr Stadium in Hamilton, NY is 1:00PM.

The skinny:

TV: Check Local Listings
Internet: Patriot League Network or WatchStadium Twitter
Radio: ESPN Lehigh Valley 1160, 1230 and 1320, Audio Link here

The group that holds the broadcast rights of the game is a group called "Stadium". "Stadium" is what Campus Insiders used to be last year, and they now produce broadcasts of specific Patriot League football games during the year. Matt Martucci, a former Lehigh defensive end, is on the call, along with Andy Gresh providing analysis.

There are multiple ways to catch the broadcast.

Some areas have the game available via a web of local TV broadcast networks. A full list is here. Of interest to Lehigh fans, most notably the closest over-the-air broadcast of the came comes from channel WSWB 38-4 in Scranton/Wilkes Barre, which may also be available via your cable package.

Many major cities also have an over-the-air broadcast of the game, notably Pittsburgh, PA, Atlanta, GA, St. Louis, MO, Jacksonville, FL, Orlando, FL, Palm Beach, FL and Pensacola, FL. Check the full list above to see if it's available where you live.

Where the game is not is Stadium TV's main channel, available on some cable systems. This is a Patriot League Network game, not a Stadium TV game. I mention this because they are not the same thing. In the Lehigh Valley, the game will be on Channel 38-4, not Stadium TV.

If you are not watching the game on broadcast TV, you can still stream the game over the internet through a variety of ways - in a web browser on the Stadium's Patriot League Channel. The link to the actual game is here, and it will also be available directly via @WatchStadium on Twitter.

If want to listen to the game on the radio, you can catch the Lehigh game feed online here, or you can listen on AM at three spots around the Lehigh Valley on the AM Dial: 1160, 1230 and 1320. Matt Kerr, Steve Lomangino and Matt Markus are the radio crew.

As you may have heard, there are other college football games across the country. A full information broadcast pack on every single game is here, which includes every video link, every broadcast team, and every Division I college football game, and yes, fans it includes TV and live stream information on the Penn State/Notre Dame game, too.

Finally, need to catch up on the full preview fun pack of today's game?

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....

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...

#TheRivalry Flashback: November 21st, 1987: Lehigh 17, Lafayette 10

Since becoming an undergrad at Lehigh back in the late 1980s, I first heard about the historic nature of the football team and "The Rivalry" through the stories that fellow students would share. I did not attend the final meeting between Lehigh and Lafayette at Taylor Stadium, which was the final time a football game would be played there. Those that did attend said that was that it was cold. "I remember it being one of the coldest games ever," Mark Redmann recollected, "with strong Northwesterly winds and the temperature hovering around 20. By the end of the game, the stands were half empty because most of the fans just couldn't take the cold. "Fortunately, several of my fraternity brothers snuck in flasks to help fend off the chill."
