Bucknell win over Richmond Best PL win to date ? it was a nice win for bucknell, but i think navy's win over pittsburgh is the top to date. pitt is not great, but not as bad as they were thought to be (7-5, with close losses to oklahoma state and west virginia) and richmond has been struggling all year (2-9 this season)

Chris Mooney must be feeling the pressure in Richmond. They have some bad losses this year including losing to 'Jacksonville St' by 33 on their home floor. But they have a community that supports the team (over 5000 last night for Bucknell with no students around). I wish Worcester would support HC more - last night's attendance was downright embarrassing at the Hart

Last time HC averaged >2,000 was when Sean Kearney was coach.

But Bucknell's win over Vermont (#69) is the top PL win to date. Bucknell's win over a good Ball State team (#116) and LU's win over Princeton (#127) are probably next. And I think HC's win over Harvard is at the same level as the wins over Pitt or Richmond. As you say, Pitt had the two good close losses - and they are probably not as terrible as many expected. But recently they were taken to OT at home by a Mt. St. Mary's team that lost most of their team, and they struggled to beat winless (vs D1) Delaware State the other day. Also lost to PSU on a neutral court by 30+ points. They seem to be about as good as Army and Navy.

Watched American last night (2nd half) against Marquette. AU did not look good at all. They got beaten up pretty bad! Looks like a tough year ahead for them...
