" Have fun writing this game up, " a journalist friend helpfully told me on Saturday when the Mountain Hawks fell behind 4-1. No, Virginia, it wasn't a whole lot of fun writing up Lehigh's drubbing by UNH . Losses are no fun for any Lehigh football fan, of course. It's no more fun to write about a oh-so-close-to-a-win game against James Madison than it is to give up fifty points to your mortal rival . It was awful hard to grasp at some positives about a game which was pretty much over at halftime. But I did find some. The biggest one of all is that this is not the FBS, where a September loss can spell the difference of the plus-one playoffs and a mid-tier bowl. Even though Lehigh is 0-2, they are not knocked out yet.
