    I’ll pick the Hawkineers by 7-10 points. At the moment, weather shouldn’t be a factor, but the situation seems to be deteriorating by the hour, so things could change. If it’s a rainy, windy day, our defense should rule the day. JJH

    Wouldn’t it be great if Pierce and Brickner are both back for a medical redshirt year.

    This is cut & pasted from a summary of league rules:

    "6. Post Baccalaureate Eligibility due to Hardship. The Patriot League is committed to its founding principle of providing intercollegiate athletics competitive opportunities for undergraduate students. However, under special circumstances, the Policy Committee may grant a waiver enabling a student to compete as a graduate student in their first year after earning the first baccalaureate degree. In order to apply for such a waiver, a student must:
    1. Have eligibility remaining due to reasons of hardship; 2. Choose to pursue a graduate degree at the League institution from which he/she
    graduated; 3. Present sound academic rationale or documentation related to enrollment in a post
    baccalaureate degree program; and 4. Attain the written approval of the institution’s President/Superintendent supporting
    the additional year of eligibility."

    I do know that the league forbids grad students from competing for schools OTHER than the one they graduated from!

    I have been as critical as anyone regarding the staff this year. Listening to this first half, these players really need to look in the mirror. I get the sense that they may be using the coaching issues as an excuse. 55 yards in penalties in the 1st quarter alone. Four key/critical/crushing turnovers – each turned into a Ram score. Clark’s decision making and overall play is a real problem for a Jr. QB. Lehigh should be cruising, but once again have managed to screw it away with mistakes. Perhaps this a sow’s ear problem. This team may have pockets of talent, but they have glaring weaknesses in key areas including QB and CB that can’t be overcome.

    Hawkineer:

    You’re right.

    Pretty sad stuff … win or lose.

    Where’s the character?

    Shame is, this stuff (penalties, mistakes, missed opportunities, getting beat on critical passes, esp. near/in end zone) has been going on much of the year (and last year).

    Hard to believe this team will win only 2-4 games …

    Lehigh football teams used to be notorious OVERACHIEVERS.

    Good thing it’s only a game.

    I just hope the weather will be decent next week. Bad weather and bad football (barring some kind of unusual firing up to play the Pards) are not a good mix
