When Lafayette heads into Goodman Stadium to take on Lehigh on November 17, it will be the 143rd football meeting between the two universities. The most-played football rivalry in the country, the teams began playing one another in 1884.

Lehigh Director of Athletics Joe Sterrett hasn’t been around for all of the games between his Mountain Hawks and Lafayette, but he has seen a number of them. Sterrett, who played quarterback during his undergraduate days at Lehigh, has spent 32 years in Bethlehem, the last 19 as athletics director. Sterrett met his wife Cindy at Lehigh, and their four children have also attended the university.

On today’s edition of Campus Connection, Joe and I discuss his love for Lehigh, the storied football rivalry and some of the other excitement happening in the Valley.
