Early Upsets in First Weekend
Well, your PL blogger went about even when it came to weekend predictions. The two shockers are Lehigh losing to a team that plays in a renovated movie theater and Lafayette beating A10 Duquensquequee. Whether either outcome means anything for the rest of the season is unclear, but it is certainly impressive that the Leopards put up 85 on the road.

Leave Kermit Alone
With the recent flareup of NBA stupidity, AU's most famous athlete alum is getting in the news again. Which is bad news, because people still can't get over something that happened 30 years ago under a completely different context.

Let's be clear here: Kermit Washington and Ron Artest are in two wholly different categories, and for the two incidents to be compared is ludicrous. Artest went into a crowd and started punching people. Kermit was in the middle of what was in those days a relatively common fight and punched someone else trying to get involved. Both incidents were abhorrent, but they're completely different.

Tonight's action
There are two games tonight on the PL slate -- both of which our guys should win. Bucknell takes on St Francis of PA, which Army will host Sacred Heart. Bucknell should win easy, but who knows with Army. If they have some young guys (like 15 year old Steve Stoll) step up, they may be able to take a 6th place this year, keeping Jim Crews employed.
