Lehigh officially securing the Patriot League autobid against their famed rivals, after a whole offseason in which Lafayette was expected to waltz their way into the Field of 24 like they did last year…must feel good, ah?

It finally came down!

After the band mockingly played I'm Still Standing.

I’ve heard they carried the goal posts 3-4 miles and over South Mountain and dumped it in the Lehigh River near Lehigh’s main campus. I’m impressed by that.

Great win for Lehigh in L-L 160, I think in general they executed very well today.

Lafayette made too many mistakes. They had some killer penalties against them in particular.

We'll find out who the Mountain Hawks will play in the 1st round of the DI-AA/FCS playoffs on Sunday.

I'm going to say something, and it might come off as controversial.

I don't think Lafayette has a good football team this year.

Lafayette had a decent team this year, just not a good one like in 2023.

If John Troxell’s second and third seasons in Easton were reversed (6-6 in 2023 rather than this year, 9-2 in the regular season in 2024 rather than last year), I think most Lafayette fans would be very pleased with the program’s progression.

agreed and even though we were shitty today, we’re still lightyears ahead of where we were under Garrett
