Talk:The Rivalry (Lafayette–Lehigh)

message: I have added notes recently and through the years to individual games based on the school paper accounts of these games, which are available through the archives of the Brown & White (Lehigh) and The Lafayette.  Should these be credited as such?  Or should there be links to individual games?  Cgburton 15:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Game Notes for Individual Games 

message: I know I've seen it somewhere online but I can't seem to find the total history for every game played in the rivalry.  Please help me to complete this page. Plm209 18:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Record of Wins/Losses 

message: I reverted the vandalism and changed it back to the original title. That way it's consistent with all of the other Wikipedia article references to it that I had originally created.  However, In fairness, I also changed the link on the Lafayette College page so it displays it there as "Lafayette-Lehigh Rivalry" but still directs here.  Hopefully, that's a workable compromise.  As my brother went to Lafayette, I know they obviously refer to it as the "Lehigh" Game.
Until folks from Lafayette have actually added more content to this page than Lehigh folks (who so far have contributed EVERYTHING), it will stay as the Lehigh-Lafayette Rivalry.  GCW50 02:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Lehigh-Lafayette Rivalry

message: I think we should really consolidate both the Lehigh-Lafayette and Lafayette-Lehigh rivalry pages into one sing page titled "The Rivalry" and redirect to that page.  This way, both pages are not the exact same thing (save the first sentence) and both do not have to be updated.  What does everyone think about this issue?? (I have also posted this on the Lafayette-Lehigh page for those who do not read this page) Plm209 22:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of article 

message: As suggested, it's been renamed The Rivalry and consolidated. The links on both schools pages now refer to it this way.  Let's try and get the Brown and White and The Lafayette as well as both sports information departments to use this one term more consistently.
Try to keep the article  neutral.  As an aside, I'm Lehigh '72 and my brother is Lafayette '76, so I understand both sides.  If you can't get to the game in person, joint Lehigh Lafayette alumni game parties are a blast.

thread_title: Consolidation

message: Anyone know why they didn't play in 1896?  Also, if someone could check each years score, I'd appreciate it.  I manually typed them in.  GCW50 14:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Elaboration

message: If you can find more references to "Lehigh-Lafayette" or "Lafayette-Lehigh" to change to "The Rivalry" throughout Wikipedia, please do so.  GCW50 14:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Linkages

message: I came here hoping for a list of major college football rivalries. Like, for instance USC vs. Notre Dame. Instead I get Lehigh vs. Lafayette -- two bald guys fighting over a comb.
:Then you went to the wrong page. What you describe is already listed elsewhere; see the college football rivalry category link at the bottom of the page.
:Whether the two minor-league professional football teams you mention really are made of college students (people who study the same subjects, take the same exams and graduate the same rate  as the other students at their college) is what's debatable. GCW50 20:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Two bald guys fighting over a comb?

message: Why is the neutrality of this article being disputed?  Could you please cite the outlandish statements that you see?  I would be happy to help clarify/dispute them. Plm209 20:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:LehighMountainHawks.png

message: Would it be better to move most of the detailed football information to it's own page as The Rivalry article is not solely focused on football but all aspects of the rivalry between the two schools? A good example may be the Harvard-Yale Football Rivalry or Army-Navy Game article. Dwalterc (talk) 05:04, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separate Football Article 

message: The sections 'Longest Run' and 'The Catch' under 'Memorable moments' seem to have been directly lifted from .  I've added the appropriate template over those two sections and reported it on WP:Copyright problems. --Aka042 (talk) 07:25, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've taken care of the copyright violation.  I rewrote the sections and added a second citation for each, in addition to the Game Notes to which you linked above. Good catch Aka042. Me Three (talk to me) 02:49, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see I shouldn't have done that... I undid my change and posted it, as per the rules, to Talk:The Rivalry (Lehigh–Lafayette)/Temp.  Hopefully an admin can see this and insert it into the main article.  I also posted a notice to that effect on WP:Copyright problems. Me Three (talk to me) 02:59, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright problems under Memorable moments section 

message: Added a new infobox. It doesn't matter which team is listed first, but I put them alphabetically as that's the way the infobox is sorted out across all its other uses. Looking at this page I see it's a sore topic.. I have no idea why.. but in any case that's the rationale. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 23:46, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  New infobox 

message: I do not fully comprehend the inclusion of language implying that the rivalry has lost its "longest uninterrupted" crown. The logic I assume is it was "interrupted" by the COVID rescheduling to spring 2021, but would that not be part of the 2020-21 NCAA season and thus qualify?
I note this solely because this is the only spot I've seen the streak referred to as "formerly longest uninterrupted." I'm not sure popular opinion would bear this out nor would it really qualify as "interrupted" rather than just "rescheduled."

replies: text: It's a great question that we likely need an official response from the NCAA about. Sort of like the fine print on this page. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 23:55, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Formerly" longest uninterrupted 

message: It’s Lehigh-Lafayette. No one calls it Lafayette-Lehigh 24.188.193.55 (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's named this way due to naming conventions on Wikipedia, i.e. alphabetically. This has been a topic of discussion going back to 2006, I invite you to read the posts above your own. And for the record, I hardly ever hear it called Lehigh-Lafayette either- it's either Le-Laf or Laf-Lehigh. :) SEMMENDINGER (talk) 14:54, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
