  • The Times Herald-Record has what appears to be a new column today. Dubbed the Patriot Insider, it is a collection of notes from around the league, albeit with a bit of an Army slant.

    For example, the writer (there is no byline on it online) suggests if Army keeps holding people to 60 points per game they will win a handful of games in the league, which seems to conveniently forget that the Black Knights are only averaging 55 per game and have not scored 60 in the last four games. That is saying something since the competition in that stretch included home games against teh two worst teams in the Ivy League and a Division 3 team.

    The "Insider" also lists four "must-see" games, the two Bucknell-Holy Cross matchups and two Army games. Army a must see? For who? Folks looking to wean themselves off Ambien?

  • Not much new to folks who have been following Bucknell all season in Bill Ordine's piece on the Bison in today's Baltimore Sun, other than the fact that these days papers like the Sun devote a story to the Bison when they come to Annapolis to face Navy.

  • John Feinstein checks in with a piece in today's Washington Post on the high expectations facing Bucknell as league play begins.
