Yale 26 Lehigh 20, final

[Lehigh Football Nation]

I don't want to aanything away from Yale here - they are a good team and played a good game and deserved to beat us. But I am apoplectic on Lehigh's performance in OT here.

Congratulations, Yale.

Didn't San Diego beat Yale 43-17? And Yale beat Lehigh 26-20. I wish people would stop talking about San Diego having a chance to compete with I-AA powerhouses like those teams....xlolx

LU stinks is far from being a 1-AA powerhouse. What's really sad is what is going to happen to the team that "wins" the Patriot League in the playoffs.: smh : : smh : : smh :

Wow - maybe they should award the auto bid from the Patriot League to some other conference...sorry to hear about the Lehigh football program's demise. :eek:

Please stop hijacking other team's threads with your San Diego bull*****. Congratulations, you beat Yale.

In no way can one think of a 'program's demise'. For the entire PL it's turning into 'one of those years' when everyone has been unable to reload from last year. Everyone of Lehigh's games this year has been unbearably close--each once down to the wire. Most of these losses are against very good teams and Lehigh just isn't good enough this year to win the close games. I don't think our coaching staff has 'it' together yet as a staff. There was a lot of confusion out there today on defense when Yale was ready to snap the ball. Clearly an indicator that the players don't know what they're supposed to be doing all the time, or the coaches are late in calling in the sets. The season is still salvageable, but there is no room for error for anyone anymore.

Anyone attend the game? I would be interested in impressions of the "refurbished" Yale Bowl since I won't make it back there this year.

Yeesh I'd hate to be a Yale fan & have to keep hearing about San Diego 5 weeks later in the season. It's like being a Cal fan and having nobody stop pestering you about Tennessee even though you've absolutely blown out everybody since. (Well--sorta like that).
At least we can now say this much: if you want to see a close, competitive football game this year, try to attend a Lehigh game. (Unless you're a Lehigh fan, that is).
McLeod looks good. I don't see how we can outdo the H-Y epic from last year, but THE GAME is looking more enticing every week.

We've moved on. After all, that game is not going affect our chances to make the playoffs.;)

I actually enjoy all the back and forth between USD fans and everyone else.

Then actually get off your lazy *sses and apply for an autobid from your conference!!!!!!!:nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: So far your conference has not even lifted a finger to fill out the paper work!!!!!!!!!!:p :p :p :p :p :p :p So until they actually do so why not hold your tongue or at least confine your verbal inadequacies to another thread.

Lehigh has been a quality football program for 135 years. Every now and then they have had off years. Something your team has had regularly before Harbaugh arrived. If you want to Smack the PL, there is ample space on the Smack thread.

Step2. Post your comments

Lehigh will be back although I thought Lembo was nowhere as bad a coach as the Allentown contingent made him out to be. Lehigh and Georgia Southern are both in transition. Does anyone think they will be out of it forever?????????????

I attended. My first trip to the bowl, so I cannot compare to the 'old furbishings'; however, from what I've been told the seats are fine. All benches with backs, which is nice. Benches tilt backward, which is interesting. Seems like there is a vinyl coating on the benches, though they feel like wood.
Strange layout with having to leave the stadium to go to the concession stands and rest rooms. Beautiful setting, and the weather was excellent. Only the football sucked.:(

[LeopardFan04]

wow...tough game fellas...tough weekend and a tough season too...Lehigh'll be back they're just obnoxious like that ;) ...but seriously, there's a very good possibility that the PL champ could make the playoffs with a 6-5 record...:bang:

Back in the day they would have vendors go through the stands selling concessions, but with 10-20k per game, I guess it is no longer worth it.

Maybe they still do it for Harvard. I don't know. My last Y-H game was 1989.

Thanks for your input.

Very true. PLus, I think we could well have multiple co-champs. I see know one who has learned how to win tough games, yet. Coen's "honeymoon" will be over with this debacle. The team looked unprepared, confused, and still shoots itself in the foot. Next week is a must win....for more reasons than one.:mad:

Blukeys has a Delaware helmet . . they won the I-AA championship in 2003. :rolleyes: It's a different shade of blue than Michigan's.

Really? It looks exactly the same as Michigans. Why would they rip off the Wolverines helmet? A different shade of blue? Why not use another color so it doesn't look like same?

I hope you're figuring out that I am being sarcastic.....I have been laying it on pretty thick...

If they used another color, they wouldn't be the Blue Hens :confused:

OK, I concede. Good point....
