While doing research this week for the matchup between the Tigers and Mountain Hawks, I looked into the archives of my blog, as I often do, for special insight on the history of the team Lehigh is to face. You might think there would be something - anything - in there about an early 2000s matchup with the Tigers, or, perhaps, something about their time in the Patriot League. You'd have been wrong, however. The history of Towson is at once different, for the most part frustrating. And yet, they are a crucial reason why the Patriot League is here today, with a bid to the FCS playoffs. Were the Tigers powerbrokers in the world of FCS football, too? I think you could make that case.
