Lehigh beats Lafayette 31-15

The telecast party at The Harp was lightly attended this year, about 150 people. Apparently last year they screwed it up and didn't make sure the game would even be televised in Boston (this year it was on Fox College Sports Pacific -- huh?).
Afterwards we went to the Penn State game at The Greatest Bar. They had a much bigger and livelier crowd. Given that the Penn State stadium could hold 12-20 years of Lehigh grads this isn't surprising (12 if you include grad students, 20 without).
Heck, the Penn Staters even have chants. At Lehigh we almost never went to games -- though tailgates were socially mandatory. Overheard:
Call: We Are?
Response: Penn State!
Call: We Are?
Response: Penn State!
Call: We Are?
Response: Penn State!
Call: Thank You.
Response: You're Welcome!
