It is that time of year - the leaves are turning to shades of Scarlet and Gold and the echo of a bell is ringing in the distance, approximately 28 miles from Greencastle.  This post has a lot of good news for both DePauw and Wabash as the television coverage for this year's game has been announced.

This November's meeting between DePauw University and Wabash College will mark the 125th meeting in the historic football game known as the Monon Bell Classic, and for a second consecutive year one of America's oldest and most storied college rivalries will be televised by FOX Sports Indiana and streamed nationally on the FOX Sports app. The 125th game in the series, which began in 1890, will take place Saturday, November 10, in Crawfordsville, with kickoff slated for 1:07 p.m. (Eastern time).

The 125th Monon Bell Classic will be televised on FOX Sports Indiana and on FOX Sports Midwest or FOX Sports Midwest Plus. It will be streamed nationally to all users of the FOX Sports app, FOX Sports GO app, and at FOXSportsGO.com. The game will also be carried nationally, either live or on tape delay, by FOX College Sports.

"The partnership that our two schools began with FOX Sports last year resulted in a telecast that received rave reviews from alumni, parents, and others, and received an Emmy nomination," said Ken Owen, of DePauw. "We're thrilled to continue our relationship."

"Fans who attend the game at Wabash will enjoy a number of special features designed to celebrate the 125th game and the amazing history our two colleges share, but for those who can't attend on game day this is an exceptional platform with wide reach," said Jim Amidon of Wabash College.

Cancer Treatment Centers of America Global, Inc.® to Sponsor the 125th Monon Bell Classic

Wabash College and DePauw University are excited to announce that Cancer Treatment Centers of America Global, Inc.® (CTCA) will be the presenting sponsor of the 125th Monon Bell Classic on November 10, 2018. The historic football rivalry will be televised live from Crawfordsville on Fox Sports Midwest beginning at 1:00 p.m. EST.

"This partnership brings together three great organizations and we are proud to welcome Cancer Treatment Centers of America to the best college football rivalry in the land," said Wabash President Gregory D. Hess.

"DePauw and Wabash have partnered to present our alumni and friends a national telecast of the game for four decades," said DePauw University President Mark McCoy. "We are honored to join with Cancer Treatment Centers of America to lift up our great institutions through this historic rivalry and celebrate those brave individuals who are fighting and beating cancer."

Wabash and DePauw first met on the gridiron in 1890 and have played continuously since 1911. In 1932, the Monon Railroad, also known as the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railway, donated a 300-pound locomotive bell to the winner of the widely celebrated matchup.

"The students of Wabash and DePauw, two of the nation's leading liberal arts colleges, are changing the world, and I am proud to be counted among Wabash's distinguished alumni," said Richard J Stephenson (Wabash College Class of '62), founder and chairman of Cancer Treatment Centers of America. "Just as our victorious patients ring a bell after completing treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, so will the victor of the Monon Bell Classic. We are honored to be part of this historic event." 

CTCA® was founded by Mr. Stephenson in 1988 following the death of his mother, Mary, a DePauw University graduate, who lost a long fight with bladder cancer. Stephenson vowed to change the face of cancer and, as a result, CTCA uses a personalized, patient-centered approach to cancer care, dedicated to tailoring a combination of precision cancer treatments and supportive therapies to address the needs of each patient.

"We identified extraordinary parallels when forming this partnership," said President Hess. "CTCA's integrative approach to treating cancer is similar to our schools' holistic approach to liberal arts education. And when we discovered that CTCA patients — surrounded by their entire care team — ring a bell when they complete treatment, we saw a natural fit with the pride DePauw and Wabash take when winning and ringing the Monon Bell."

The two schools will host CTCA Cancer Fighters at the game, survivors committed to helping others, who will have an opportunity to ring the storied Monon Bell at halftime along with Tom Runge, former Wabash director of alumni affairs and retired USAF colonel, himself a cancer survivor. The promotional theme created for the game recognizes the remarkable achievements of both Wabash and CTCA in their respective disciplines and their shared pursuit of victory: "Two Giants. One Fight."

Glad to see someone, albeit a caveboy, picked up my reins and started a Monon Bell thread for this year. I guess the thought of having to travel to Crawfordstucky really got me off my game. I can't wait to see some of you in a few weeks.   

Also, this never gets old.

Nor does this.  "Rex Off Colorado Red" is also a bit more creative than that touchdown celebration...

Really looking forward to Saturday!

Never forget that the play should have been called back due to the hold (blatant tackle) by Dabboyzzz left tackle.

Typical Wally believing a Pancake is knocking someone down from behind.

Just so we are clear:

             Block in the Back
              ARTICLE 4. a. A block in the back is contact against an opponent occurring
              when the force of the initial contact is from behind and above the waist.
              When in question, the contact is at or below below the waist.

             Holding. The hand(s) and arm(s) shall not be used to grasp, pull, hook,
             clamp or encircle in any way that illegally impedes or illegally obstructs
             an opponent.

            PENALTY—10 yards Penalties for Team A fouls behind the neutral zone
            are enforced from the previous spot.

            Blocking in the Back
            ARTICLE 6. A block in the back (other than against the ball carrier) is illegal.

            PENALTY—10 yards. Penalties for Team A fouls behind the neutral zone
            are enforced from the previous spot.

You probably also believe Rudy wasn't offsides.

Just read the Indianapolis Monthly article about the Bell game. The last 4 sentences sort of sums up a lot about the differences between the 2 schools. Mamma's boys can't guard the bell so they need the police to do it for them. Note: Wabash does not.

"The last successful heist was in 1998. Wabash students pulled off a daring raid on Halloween and brought the Bell back to Wabash. Today, when DePauw has possession, it places the Bell on a pressure sensor wired to the local police station. Wabash does not."
