BETHLEHEM, Pa - For a football game that dates back to 1884, the Lehigh-Lafayette rivalry remains as spirited as ever.

On Saturday at 12:30 p.m. Lehigh Mountain Hawks and the Lafayette Leopards will clash for their 158th meeting on the gridiron.

With the leadup to the game comes a tradition of hanging bedsheets around each campus heckling the other school. Not all were safe for publication but we rounded up the ones we'd be ok with showing our mothers.
