It’s the spring, and what that means is that the weather (hopefully) is getting better, the flowers are blooming, and – most importantly – we’re in the middle of spring football season.Soon I am planning on posting an update on what has gone on i…
The Patriot League could very well be in a huge bind assuming the Ivy League goes forward with their college football restart plans.
According to Mark Blaudschun of TMG Sports, the Ivy League is considering two plans for their 2020 college football season – neither of which allow for any out of conference games.
13 out-of-conference games involving Patriot League teams would be on the chopping block, and when you add to it the Patriot League presidents’ guidance to not fly to games, every single member of the Patriot League is affected. If you add to that the fact that the opening of the college football season is going to at best start in late September (yes, you read that correctly), the Patriot League would count as one of the most deeply affected by Covid-19-influenced delays and decisions in the entire college football landscape.
It is a bind to be sure – but not one that should see the Patriot League cancel the 2020 football season.
If we start with the assumption that the season will start late at best, and we assume that the TMG Sports report is accurate (and nobody has come forward to deny the basic thrust of the report), it should be possible to craft a nine-week Patriot League football season with seven league games and two out-of-conference games. There are a lot of moving parts, and the Patriot League would need some partners. But it should be possible.
Welcome back to the Lehigh Tailgate Report, a free public service from your pals over at Lehigh Football Nation.
The idea of the Lehigh Tailgate Report is to provide a fun report on what to expect at the game, or not at the game, for this week’s upcoming game.
If you’re planning to go to the game, great! It’s at Murray Goodman Stadium this Saturday at 12:30PM.
If you can’t make it to the game, it’s is available to watch or listen in a variety of ways.
The local radio broadcast, which starts an hour before kickoff and sets the table for the day’s game, can be caught on your AM dial on Fox Sports Radio AM 1230 or 1320. Matt Kerr, Mike Yadush, Tom Fallon and Matt Markus are on the call this Saturday. (I also am hearing that there is going to be a pair of special guests, quite possibly, during the pregame, whom I can’t wait to hear from.)
Through internet radio, the pregame, game, and postgame can be streamed through TuneIn or just simply going to the LVFoxSports.com webpage. Full disclosure: When I’m at home, this is my preferred method to catch the game action. Streaming the audio is #LFNApproved.
If not, you can stream the game over the internet, or over the air through a variety of Stadium Network channels.

There really aren’t any other words to use. The season is currently broken.Anyone who bravely worked their way to the game last weekend in rainy, windy Worcester, Mass had to have come to the same conclusion.The only thing keeping 2-6 Holy C…
We break down the Holy Cross game – and we give our fearless prediction below the flip.
Head coach Bob Chesney is in his first year in Worcester and is working to build up his mark on the program, despite a 1-6 record.
He came to Holy Cross from Assumption College, where he compiled a 44-16 record and made the nearby school a solid member of the NE-10 conference. Assumption has been a strong D-II school over the last decade, engineering an upset over Fordham in 2010 (though that was before Chesney’s time).
When Chesney came to Holy Cross, he brought in an almost entirely new staff from the one that Tom Gilmore had assembled. Only four positional coaches remain, while Chesney brought in a new offensive and defensive coordinator.
Holy Cross also had, by far, the toughest schedule of any school in the Patriot League in September, starting with Colgate, who sits undefeated, Dartmouth, who sits undefeated, and Boston College – yes, that Boston College. Throwing out those three games, the Crusaders have been inconsistent, upsetting Yale, but being upset at home by Bucknell. So it’s hard to tell what Lehigh is going to get this week.

This weekend in frigid Worcester, Mass, 1-6 (0-2) Mountain Hawks take on the 1-6 (0-2) Holy Cross Crusaders at 1:00 PM at Fitton Field.
Both teams enter Saturday looking to reverse big losing streaks, and looking to learn how to win. The Crusaders have lost four straight, while the Mountain Hawks have lost six straight.
Both teams also will be looking to build some momentum through the end of 2018 to get some momentum into next year and perhaps finish with a .500 or better record in Patriot League play. While Colgate and Georgetown are undefeated in league play so far, a flourish to end the season would be a helpful springboard into the offseason.
If you can’t make it to the game, the game is streaming on the Patriot League Network,with Kevin Shea, Andy Lacombe and Breanna Wilson doing the call. This is the local broadcast produced on Charter 3 TV in Worcester (which you can get on your TV if you live in that area).
Paired with the Holy Cross coverage you can pair it with the local AM 1230 and 1320 FOX radio broadcast, either off your old-fashioned radio, streamed through TuneIn or just simply going to the LVFoxSports.com webpage and listening that way. Matt Kerr, Matt Markus and Steve Lomangino are on the call this Saturday.

With this year’s early signing period in December, along with traditional signing day in February and additional signing of recruits up until May, it felt like the right time to resurrect the Patriot League Commit Tracker for the class of 2022.
This is intended to be a rolling list, updated as we go, as student-athletes going to any Patriot League school sign National Letters of Intent.
We don’t know the whole story yet behind each school’s recruiting class. But this post is intended to put in one place what we know so far.
As I learn more, I will add more names to each list.
