We played Penn at Franklin Field my Freshman year. They beat us. I don't recall any extra drama associated with the game though.

Nova's facilities suck for football. At least they did when we played our Thanksgiving day game against Malvern Prep every year.

One of my less than pleasant memories was having our (Lafayette) ass handed to us by a Wayne Chrebet-led Hofstra team in 1991. That game couldn't end quickly enough.
On the pleasant memory side, I...
Well there is no doubt that Lafayette vs. Lehigh is a result of two very similarly ranked schools separated literally by less than 20 miles. It's a territorial thing at heart.

God the trip up to Burlington though...yikes. Gorgeous though it is, it's a long lonely bus trip.

I honestly feel like any team that moves up in the Northeast is making a mistake. UConn and UMass leap to mind. I suspect there are spreadsheets on Athletic Director's computers that actually...
All excellent points. Couldn't agree more. At Lafayette we have the coach pillar nailed down for the long haul in John Troxell. All he ever aspired to do was be the HC of Lafayette. He's a home town...
My younger brother was offered a spot on the team during those dark years. He's forever grateful to Tavani because he gave him a shot. He was not actually recruited any where else (runt of the litter...
This is a fair assessment of the situation. Lafayette had a great Coach in Russo but he became utterly hamstrung by a school administration that turned completely against football. It culminated with...
We will see indeed.

Of course. It stands to reason that their best years came with scholarships.
This notion that that all other PL teams are forever chasing HC because of what Duffner did in the eighties is...
Yeah that was a hell of an experience. 38,000 fans complete with 3 star generals in attendance. I remember actual generals shaking our hands afterwards thanking us for a great homecoming experience. ...
Actually we're both right. And none of it assures us success in 2024 just as the glory days of Mark Duffner assure HC nothing come September. This from AI...
Who invented the football helmet?

Uh huh...and what, pray tell, happened to all those resources during your two decades of ineptitude? You're making the classic, "if we didn't suck we'd be awesome" argument. What HC did in the 60s...
Wow. Crazy how 4 good years go to one's head. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you guys absolutely blow after Duffner bailed on you for like... Oh I don't know...a decade maybe longer. I remeber...
On the one hand I would love for Lafayette to dominate for the foreseeable future. On the other hand we need to start putting two in the playoffs to lend more weight to PL football. I was hoping HC...
Curran's record seems a little sus (as the kids say) but moving the program up had to be a heavy lift.

Well that doesn't bode well.

Time will tell but he seems like a good hire on paper. Up and comer, as they say. We shall see.

Well... Curran to HC...thoughts?

I will be very curious to see if HC tries to catch lightening in a bottle again by hiring a deserving, successful DII or DIII coach again. Worked for them with Chesney and worked for Lafayette with...
They'd look pretty good if the coach in question kicks the ass of the team in question (or the equivalent) in the fcs playoffs.

So with Chesney out isn't it safe to assume that, at the very least, next year is likely to be a transition year for the Cross? I mean they could bring in Lou Holtz reincarnated and just...
Didn't realize. Got 'cha.
