Lafayette signed a DB from App State, but that was all. I expect the Pard’s to pick up one or two transfers yearly at most.

Lafayette’s OOC schedule is the most manageable in years with Buffalo,...

Gannon is much better positioned for D1 than Mercyhurst, despite the latter being D1 in Hockey. Gannon has a better academic reputation, better facilities and a larger endowment. Both schools seem...

Maybe we need to stop being so concerned about the Ivies. They are the only conference in D1 that operates under such conditions. They have cache and national reach we can only dream about. Not too...

You may be thinking of Brian Buczek. His stat line in I think 1998 was 1-1 with a long TD. Mike Palos was the starter. It wasn’t the first play of the game however, it was a garbage time TD.

Ha, they do have 3 current assistants with the title of “Assistant Head Coach”.

Great career, but kinda weird he announced now with the season being over for two months. Internal hire here?

Agree. I think the PL is capable of putting a team deep into the FCS playoffs once every few years. We can’t beat the Dakota schools, but neither can anyone else.

Grav, take a look at the highlights of the 92 Army/Lafayette game. I’m sure that one still hurts.

Back to the subject at hand, yes Holy Cross played a...

Holy Cross hasn’t played Penn State since 1963 and only 4 times overall. BC was not a “power conference” school in those days, they really existed on the fringes of big time college football then...

This is so dumb even for you. Holy Cross has no inherent advantage over the rest of the league “when they have scholarships”. You guys also managed to be terrible for 20 years in between scholarship...

Jack Ham and Franco Harris were on the 1970 PSU team, along with Lydell Mitchell (just a sample).

Not surprised the Lambert went away, but it is weird they just stopped and made no announcement....

Joe liked that staff so much it took him 22 years to hire an outsider. Why did he pick Lembo? Also strange that the presumed heir apparent by many (Chick) never got the job.

If we’re talking Gadd, you have to include Russo. 3x league champ and 1988 Eddie Robinson award winner. Duffner and Lembo were the other Eddie Robinson winners while coaching in the PL. Dan Allen...

92% of what?

This study says only 36% of FCS players in the portal landed anywhere with a scholarship.

Good grief, how does their committee not know the rules? Unfortunately, D2 football is all but dead in the Northwest so that option will require lots of travel.

Patriot League expansion is like trying to prove string theory or something.

Simply put:

1.) I like the league as is, as we get lots of flexibility with non-conference games.

2.) No full...

He had a very good run. Just being able to retire as a coach on your own terms in a win. Many just get fired and can’t find another decent job when they reach a certain age.

Do you know otherwise? He’s not from what I can tell.

I don’t see this changing anything massively for the FCS on down. None of us make money on athletics (perhaps the Dakota or Montana schools turn a profit?). We don’t compete with the power 5, we...

Agree, I see this as a way for the schools playing in this arena to mutually agree to a set of fair play rules. The days of the NCAA passing rules that apply Ohio State and Oberlin are over. The...

It will allow the “big boys” to agree upon whatever rules they want. Which may or may not include transfer restrictions from their division or lower divisions.

It’s already toast. The unlimited transfers and NIL is unsustainable. Every pro sports league has much tougher rules on free agency and salary caps, but this is the way of the NCAA allowing the big...

Personally, I’m kind of enjoying the Cross Sports meltdown with all the smoke around Chesney. Many over there have asserted they should pay him in excess of one million per year (when his name was...

Agree, but that’s rarely what’s happening. Virtually none of these kids are getting actual endorsement deals that is promoting the company. They all have “3rd party” NIL collectives. Coaches are no...

Paterno had attempted to start the Eastern 8, and find a good spot for all PSU sports. Basically everyone else thought PSU hoops were beneath them, and PSU football would just dominate. It was...
