Lafayette at New Hampshire

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lafayette shut out Maine 17-0 in 1981. Lafayette also beat Lehigh in 1981. Lehigh beat Maine in 1981. However, Lehigh lost to UNH by a single point in 1981 while UHN beat Lafayette by 3 in 1981. Therefore, a "full strength" Lehigh woulda won the national championship in 1981. The record books should be adjusted accordingly.

I knew that year was familiar. It's Lafayette's only 9 win season since the start of WWII xlolx

Temple has 4 xblehx....

[Bogus Megapardus]

Sorry for the string of posts, but to compare Hobart to Mount Union is laughable. Mount Union routinely has transfers from FBS and JuCo schools, and could probably be competitive at the FCS level. Hobart? Not in the same stratosphere.

London Fletcher went to Mount Union. Or was it John Carroll? Either way, they both kick the crap out of Heidelberg and Marietta every year.

But a Full Strength Lehigh (hereinafter "FSL") would beat Mount Union.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Just below its dynamic football team, of course, the second-best thing about the State of New Hampshire really has to be its newsworthy-of-late politicians.

Tufts coulda been in the Patriot League.

Exactly! And Tufts is only about a mile away from Harvard. So Lehigh is better than Harvard.

It's all beginning to make sense now, isn't it?

And I was at all three games in 1981. I still have that 1981 Maine program too!

I have another three degree connection to her. Tufts is in Medford, MA and I grew up in Medford NJ and they are twin cities! My mother and her friends even visited the mayor of Medford MA back in 1979 and brought a South Jersey pine from our town for them to plant in the town square. There you go!

My parents once lived in Medford, NJ. Both my dad an my son spent a semester at Tufts in relation to other studies. The driving distance from Medford, Ore. to Lehigh Acres, Fla. (at full strength) is 3,197½ miles.

Nothing to be sorry about, everyone knows this -- it's common knowledge.

I do question whether you actually played football at UNH like you said you did. Anyone who strapped it up would know that almost any FCS football team outside of the Pioneer League would handily beat a team from the ECAC. I was friendly with plenty of guys who played at the PL / CAA level, and others who played in the NESCAC and ECAC -- simply a totally different level of football.

To help Mega achieve his goals on this post, I will respond to you, Crusader. While you question whether I played at UNH, I question whether you played at HC. You know a little too much about D-III football (I'd assume that's exactly where you played if in fact you did play at all). And the fact that you were "friendly" with plenty of us CAA players, means that you didn't actually "play" with us. I'll inbox you my identity so you never attack my credibility again. Why couldn't you just disagree with me? Why get all personal and say I didn't play?

Keeping it alive Megapardus!

[Pard4Life]

Given today's realignment mess, Holy Cross would have likely had to drop football if it wanted to keep hoops in the Big East. I see Holy Cross as like Seton Hall in that regard: small but top tier hoops. There is absolutely no way that HC would have been able to field a competitive team into the 1990s.

So Holy Cross keeps its scholarships... plays Big East football and gets smoked by Virginia Tech and Miami? Fitton Field would need to be upgraded? The parking situation? Coaching salaries? The cost would have been extremely prohibitive for a small school like HC.

If you are a HC football fan, then maybe PL membership was a saving grace.

Neither. It wound up being Lacey's, IIFC.

Point of clarification - I say that will all due respect. Props to the name.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Not quite.

But you would have found it elsewhere 1982. And before. And after.

I didn't create the name; it has been used by many others, in fact. It's a legend, in the purest and most literal sense. I might be able to track down the original "Bogus" but it would take a lot of time and effort.

So, what about tomorrow's Lafayette - New Hampshire game? It's a three-game series, right? :)

Indeed it is!!!

Frank Tavani likes to switch uniforms almost every week; sometimes maroon, sometimes black, sometimes white; all in various combinations. The Pards just received their new jersey selections for this weekend's game against UNH. It's a bit a departure from what they're accustomed to, though I think they'll do fine:

Lehigh played Michigan in 1896 - coincidentally the year in which legendary Michigan coach Fielding Yost played for Lafayette.

[Go...gate]

Colgate never did in FB, but we have in Hockey and Lacrosse.

HC (which could have been in the Big East) played Michigan in hoops in the 1977 NCAA Tournament and damn near beat them. Always important to remember that it is not legend that HC was a college BB powerhouse. It is fact. They played anybody and everybody and beat most of their opponents, year-in, year-out.

2. to thoroughly dominate a color in a short time, e.g., "The brilliant shade of gold completely Lehighed the maroon barcalounger in the corner of the room."
3. to demonstrate complete dominance and superiority, e.g., "The spelling bee was no contest. Billy completely Lehighed the rest of the competition."

Never stepped foot in Jersey until after graduation (except for the occasional beer run to Phillipsburg*). But there's certain things you can get only at Flemington Department Store. Even the White House gets its custom carpets there, from what I understand. Plus you can get Merrell boots and Woolrich and Patagonia clothing off the rack, try it on, and buy it at a discount and with no shipping. And I pass right by it every time I drive to Pardsville for a game.





* Phillipsburging?

[65 Pard]

Back in the day a quart of beer was fifty cents and Phillipsburging included a stop at James on the Delaware for some Jimmy dogs.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Jimmy dogs.

Remember way back when we actually lived in . . . fraternities? Pledges had to make a physical relay chain across the free bridge and deliver Jimmy Dogs up the hill while they were still hot (or at least warm). The worst among us sent his dog back for extra mustard.

I think we'd be arrested for that stuff today.

"Dehumanizing . . . Micro-aggression . . . Bullying."

[65 Pard]

19 Fraternities and we all survived and now cherish the friendships and memories.
The cook was off on Sunday so we would go to Key City Diner for their 75 cent Dinner special.

When I was Pledgemaster, the pledges kidnapped me and left me standing in the middle of a field with a dress on. I had managed to stuff my wallet in my underwear and paid a stunned farmer to drive me back to the house. I got back before the pledges and we rounded them up for an olive race. Who knows what that is?

Hate olives to this day;). Not to fond of pumpkins either ( except in pie form). Pledge transgressions required us to carry ever larger pumpkins around campus. Shockingly,as I was quite a large fellow, for some reasons ,unknown to me then,I kept getting larger and larger pumpkins. There is still a picture somewhere in B & W archives of me pulling a little red wagon with a huge pumpkin around campus.

[Bill]

Even though we were at a greater distance, my friends and I would often go Phillipsburging for supplies - usually alcohol at State Line Liquors or Norton's Cork & Bottle. This was due to some of those bizarre PA laws at the time - 6 packs sold at Deli's, cases only at "beer distributors" and hard booze at "state stores". ...one stop shopping was practically impossible and the PA store hours were atrocious!

[Lehigh Football Nation]

I think the lasting legacy of this thread as determined by future language historians is the use of the term "Phillipsburging", a term so right and natural that I'm upset I didn't come up with it first. (Maybe because I wasn't of the right age.)

I don't think the gay kids weren't closeted. It's just that no one cared. There was at least one gay guy in our house. Now if you went out and got all flamboyant and in-you-face lifestyle gay (lifestyling?) that was a different matter.

I never understood the whole "out" thing. What's the difference between being "gay" and being "openly gay?" Is it like being "openly female" or "openly black" or "openly asian?"

Princeton is blowing out that circus masquerading as a basketball team Rutgers. The gridiron rivalry has migrated to the hardwood.

Final: Princeton 78 Rutgers 73. And it was in New Brunswick, too.

Nice win by the Tigers - RU usually tough at home, less so as Eddie Jordan tries to put the pieces back together from the Rice disaster. I'm old enough to remember watching Valvano and Bobby Lloyd at guard for RU against Princeton both at the old Rutgers Gym ("The Barn") and old Dillon Gym at Princeton. My father and I would see PU and RU often in that long ago. Saw my share of RU-Lafayette, RU-Lehigh, RU-Princeton and RU-Colgate tilts in hoops.

Word is that Dick Biddle will be helping out Tavani on this upcoming game. Third time's a charm!!

Indeed. With Tavani playing tailback and Biddle playing linebacker, we'll have top-drawer skill on both sides of the ball.

This makes Princeton champions of New Jersey. FDU beat Rutgers AND Seton Hall... and Princeton smoked FDU... and Princeton beat Rutgers... so...

Princeton plays Monmouth occasionally but I don't think so this year... and who cares about St. Peter's.

It might be a good idea to buy tickets to the Princeton-Harvard game in Jadwin.. both teams could each have one loss..

Not a bad place to watch a basketball game.

The lighting could be better in the corners and not much of a fan of the overall darkness in the main seating area... but it pulls off the "basketball arena in not really a basketball arena" reasonably well.

I agree about the overall darkness of the place, which is why I hesitated to gush over the place completely. But it's comfortable, concessions are great, and there's a warmth to the place despite the dark areas.

The lighting at Jadwin "Cage" has changed over the years. There was a time when all the lights were on for all basketball games. That was better.

I still remember Fordham coming over in '72 - the year after Digger Phelps moved to ND - but still a strong team facing a very good Tiger five with Brian Taylor, Reggie Bird, and Ted Manakas. Over 9,000 at Jadwin, standing-room only on a Saturday afternoon. Fordham won in a very close one.

Yes, indeed. About as civilized as it gets, especially compared to the Palestra.

A Boston schoolboy legend.....too young to remember but one of the great chants of high school basketball (when all the state playoff games were played at the Boston Garden): "What's the word??? Reggie Bird!!!!"

Bird could play. He had a nice game in the 1972 NIT against Bobby Knight's first Indiana club. Unfortunately, Niagara was too tough for the Tigers in the NIT Quarterfinals (only 16 teams in the NIT then and 32 in the NCAA)

Talk about 'dark' gyms, you could develop film on the floor at Laughyette's old Alumni Hall. With the overhead track, it seemed like a cave.

Alumni Hall, a classic mid century venue. There I saw Bill Bradley sink a jumper at the buzzer to take a Prnceton game to overtime in one of the best games ever played at Alumni. the place was rocking.

Wanna talk "dark gyms?" H18672ere's the Cooz at the Worcester Auditorium:

I kinda liked Grace Hall at Lehigh, too.

The Fieldhouse at St. Joseph's is another old-school facility, though it is vastly upgraded now.

[Bogus Megapardus]

I was there after Kirby but before they converted Alumni Gym into science labs. We played all of our intra-fraternity basketball games there and I ran on that elevated track all winter long. The weight room had huge, bright windows, too. "Dark" was when you went downstairs to the squash courts and the old saunas. Creepy dark.

One of the greatest things about College. One can work out each and every day.....

Rose Hill Gym also had that ancient feel, though that has also undergone a massive upgrade.

Yeah me too. I played IM roundball there (usually getting crushed)...The weight room was off to the Hamilton Ave side I recall.

Yep the weight room was on the Hamilton side and the dance/cheerleader/martial arts etc. room was on the other side. You went all the way back then down the stairs in the corner to get to the saunas and the squash courts. There was a "secret" door down there that led out to the sidewalk that you could prop open a wee bit after hours so you could sneak down there at night with a Centenary or a Cedar Crest girl.

Yes, indeed. Dated my share of ladies from there. Centenary had lots of equestrians, many of them stunning.

Some of the women were pretty good looking, too. ;)
