But for good reason. There’s a reason why there have been so many posts about the rivalry. It’s because it is the biggest thing to happen this semester. You can feel the hype when you walk through Upper Cort with people buying beanies. You can feel it when the band starts blasting music outside your dorm at 10:30 PM. The excitement is tangible.
The rivalry is one of the biggest rivalries to exist. Forget Harvad-Yale, Le-Laf is way more exciting. Dating back to 1884, the rivalry has continued, uninterrupted except for once in 1896, but the energy that bubbles up has not faded at all.
From the rumored 115 yard touchdown by the Lehigh halfback “Snooks” to the one handed catch made by Klingerman in 1995 to not only win Lehigh the game, but also clinching the Patriot League championship, the school spirit and pride couldn’t be higher at this point.
This spirit of healthy competition is only part of what makes Lehigh such a great community. Here’s to a Lehigh victory.
