Yes they do. Worth noting that the Pards faced Bucknell's 3rd string QB. Wesley is healthy again and looks pretty good for the Bison. Still an embarrassing no show game.

I think the team has just become complacent and believes they can roll over any and all PL opponents after the past three seasons' success. If they're going to lose 1 game all season, this is one they can afford to lose. Although that's assuming they can beat HC, Gate, and Lafayette. Won't happen if they play like they have all season, besides UNH and Georgetown.

turnovers seem to be a big problem today...Brainless Parris almost caused ANOTHER turnover when a punt return was called off and then he went over to the ball and almost was touched by it and he almost picked it up. He either should be replaced on punt returns or be given a lecture on when to field a punt and when to leave it alone. His stupidity changed the momentum in the Fordham game, if you remember.

The one positive for Lehigh losing to this Bucknell team is that it has no effect on their conference title hopes. By tanking against a team already with 2 conference losses, Lehigh still controls their own destiny. This may put a stunt to their egos and their fans' confidence, but in retrospect, it doesn't affect their playoff aspirations. It may even be a good wake up call.

October 26th, 2013, 03:11 PM
BU outplayed us from start to finish,deserve credit for great win . Any bright spots for LU.Shafnisky got to play by far our best runner but he threw an INt also. Only takeaway from this game for fans and players is that they are not as good as they thought they were. They are not a squad that can win just by showing up. If nothing else I hope we learned that today. Thought we had last yr after Gate loss. I was wrong

Can we all agree that the Wilcher-Roberts co-defensive co-ordinators experiment has been an unmitigated disaster? Two week until HC. Joe Bottiglieri needs to be promoted to defensive coordinator tomorrow. He has two weeks to implement a new defensive scheme. I am sick and tired of watching a defense that just stands there and waits to be hit rather than hit. Time to become more attacking. We'll see of Coen has a set or not.

Also, Wilcher should either be let go or spend all of his time coaching the DBs. His defensive backs play incredibly soft and don't know how to play the ball in the air. This is two years in a row where a senior laden defensive backfield looks more like sophomores and freshmen than juniors and seniors. The play be Tyler Ward, a senior, was as bad a play as you'll see a defensive back ever make.

This defense affords the offense no margin for error.

Today was the worst game since the Holy Cross beat down in the mid 2000s. At least that was a good HC team.

First, congratulations to Joe Susan and Bucknell. Not just a win but a decisive one.

Second, those of us who are a little older remember occasions over the years when Bucknell rose up and knocked off a stronger Lehigh eleven.

Third, to me, this is the beauty of the Patriot League - competitive balance. On "Any Given Saturday", ANYONE in the conference can knock off anyone else.

Fourth, surprised that Lehigh was so flat, but they may have needed this. They will be very tough down the stretch. Notwithstanding, I am sure that the club from down the road in Easton sees a legitimate chance for victory in a few weeks.

October 26th, 2013, 07:08 PM
Just got back from Lewisburg. Would have had a better time had I stopped at the 'big house' up the road...probably would have seen more scoring than our O. As for the debacle:
There was something missing from this team before the game and even when they came out. No energy. Got the feeling they were just going to another day at the office.
The first play of the game said it all as Leaks fumbled the KO around the 20.
Even after the FG, Lehigh had a shot to punch right back, but Kurfis, of all people is 5 yards behind the secondary and drops a bomb from Bialkowski. The long TD in that situation sets momentum. Instead a blown opportunity.
Bucknell's offense is not the same offense Lafayette saw several weeks ago. Wesley is very good and makes opportunities for others. Williams a rising star at RB.
Bialkowski was off all day--passes a tad high and INTs off of deflections. Still WRs should have caught some of them.
Offensive play calling was downright weird at times. BB is not a runner and should never be used on 3rd and short; they run Farrell, who is really a fullback, WIDE on short yardage. Are you kidding me?
Defense was downright embarrassing. Ward lets a long pass go through his hands for a huge gain, tackling was bad. I agree with some of the prior posts, Coen has to make a change at DC. The scheme, attitude, approach has to change. No aggression, receivers are wide open.
ST were horrible. Leaks' fumble, even reliable Divers shanked a punt. People standing around looking at a short kickoff almost recovered. Lehigh after scoring to make it 34-10, but with plenty of time to get back recovers an onside kick!!....But, Lehigh was offside.
The entire performance was a gigantic cluster fck. Coaches responsible for not having the team's attention and ready to play. They weren't ready to play Moravian College today.
The good news....IF they win out, they win the league. This will take a major look in the mirror over the next two weeks. The thing about college football is that you never fully know what the mental attitude will be from week to week. Bucknell beat a decent Dartmouth team last week, and that should have gotten their attention. If this beat down didn't then the season will be lost.
BB's injury did not look good. The placement of the ice said collarbone to me. Considering the injury, the bye week comes at the best time. If they know BB is done, it give McHale two weeks to prep at #1 and Shafnisky time to realize he's close to being "the man" if McHale doesn't get the job done. Now we get to see what they are made of with their backs against the wall.

With the right combination of circumstances, there could be a 3-way tie between LU, CU, and Bucknell. In that case, the tiebreaker goes to BU. I don't think I will hold my breath waiting for that however.

I Bucknell has been a turnover machine all year yet Lehigh is a -5 today. Kind of shows who the more aggressive, hungrier team was.


That was definitely true when Wesley was out and they were forced to play a freshman QB who clearly was not ready to play. However in three of Wesley's four games there were no turnovers at all. Only in the Cornell game, played in a monsoon, were there any turnover issues - and most of those were unforced fumbles.

Over the last three years, Wesley has started 26 games and thrown 14 interceptions.

Ah R2, now you know what it has felt like for the past three years!

Oh I've always knew what it was like. I've gone thru decades when we didn't win and lost badly. Wasn't that long ago with Andy when we spent 4 yrs losing every close game. Today's performance ranks as one of the most embarrassing I've seen over 55+ yrs of rooting for LU.

The posters, plural, hes talking about have a combined post count of about 23,000 posts.

They do a good job galvanizing people who don't care about the PL against Lehigh.

I don't believe a single LU fan does that. But you have "beef" with fellow BSC fans too so whatever....

I watched the entire EWU-Griz game. You guys are as good as I thought. I don't see the Bobcats winning in Cheyney...

No LU fans talk smack on other leagues. I think PL fans are all pretty reasonable. We've watched the CAA/A10 for years. I'm lucky enough to see BSC games on a weekly basis...

Ah owl dont think it will ever change with the weather vane guys. Dont really understand why they are so fixated on us.Agree we dont talk smack on their threads.Yet they get so worked up about conversations we have among ourselves. Guess theyjustneed someone to pick on, Just ignore them,they truly aren't worth the efoort.Letsjust get us good enuf to compete with them on the field.

Agreed. Wonder why we aren't hearing from more BU posters and fans?

They're watching basketball practice. Really. It was homecoming, a beautiful sunny, crisp day, and I bet there was barely over 1,000 in the stands and 40 % Lehigh fans. smh.

Bucknell has a rich football history going back to the Penn State-Bucknell rivalry of the thirties and forties. They're only about 35-40 miles apart. The Bison actually played in the first Orange bowl. But football has been bad or really bad since the the sixties, with the exception of coach Gadd's couple of good years in the late 90's. I suspect it has to do with allotment of resources in the athletic department (compared to basketball) and bad luck in coach selection over the years.

It definitely has a lot to due with resource allocation. BU has funded about 20 less equivalencies than the more successful PL teams. I don't think that the coach selection has been too bad - but other than Gadd, who consistently won (48-28 in his 7 seasons) with less financial support - no-one else has been good enough to over come the spending gap. Gadd's tragic death was a huge setback to the program. With good health, he might still be coaching the program.

Speaking of Penn State, there was actually a time when PSU stopped playing Bucknell because they were losing too much. Unfortunately that happened in 1930. PSU is 55 miles west of Bucknell btw.

With the right combination of circumstances, there could be a 3-way tie between LU, CU, and Bucknell. In that case, the tiebreaker goes to BU. I don't think I will hold my breath waiting for that however.

Ha let's pump the breaks. Nice to know that the scenario does exist though.

Just because Bucknell fans aren't posting on an internet message board doesn't mean we aren't excited that the streak has finally ended. The team played a nearly flawless game and Lehigh didn't show up. It's one game though. I'm not gonna get my hopes up and start talking about what this season could be. Regarding the attendance, yes it's a shame that more people weren't there to witness the game. Can't have great attendance at all sporting events. Lehigh knows all about that. Couldn't fill Stabler with possibly the greatest PL player EVER and that was when they fielded a competive team. Bucknell football hasn't been competitive enough to warrant people showing up.

Now, on to Colgate
