Lafayette-Lehigh to play 150 in NYC?
NCAA Football Betting Lines
02/09/2012 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - As if the 150th meeting between the Lafayette and Lehigh football teams wasn't special enough ...
How about an extra special venue?
The Express-Times of Easton, Pa., reported Thursday about the concept of college football's most-played game celebrating its 150th meeting in 2014 at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Lafayette athletic director Bruce McCutcheon told the Express-Times he had spoken with Lehigh athletic director Joe Sterrett about doing "something special" for the 150th meeting. McCutcheon did not say whether the idea of playing the game at "The House That Ruth Built" was under serious consideration.
Through 147 meetings, Lafayette holds a 76-66-5 series lead.
The rivalry annually sells out at Lafayette (13,132) and Lehigh (16,000), but how much of a bigger draw it would be at Yankee Stadium is unknown.
Four college football games, including two Pinstripe Bowls, have been played at the new Yankee Stadium since it opened for the 2009 baseball season.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
