DePauw has already lost one.... not a good start

Prior losses didn't stop them from kicking your keester all over the field the last two years.

haha... we'll see about this year, Mr. Boerger... I'd really like to attend the game, hopefully DePauw doesn't short us on tickets this year... I'm really tired of their cheating tactics


WAF!

Well said, Ron! :)

Last year keesters were kicked.  End of game field goals (2007) don't constitute keester kicking.  Let's be fair, gentlemen.   :)

Fair enough and +1.  Let's simply agree that regular season losses aren't necessarily a predictor of who will win the Bell.    ;)

the 2007 games was pretty amazing... the 47 yard field goal with second left was nothing short of spectacular.... down the middle with extra. I'll give Havercamp props for that

Don't disagree...however, the 2007 game should not have come down to a last second field goal. DePauw said we are going to run Marks and the quick passing game...Wabash could do nothing to stop it, all day. DePauw controlled the clock and the line of scrimmage. Missed on a chippy FG and at least two trips to the red zone (once because of a great play by your outstanding LB). Maybe not a keester kicking...but a two loss DePauw team clearly beat an undefeated Wabash club, IMHO.

2007 was a "keester" kicking on the field.  It just did not show on the scoreboard.  2008 was both.

Sadly, I have to say "scoreboard" in 2007. Especially in the bell game, results matter more than the execution.

Those kind of games happen all the time in this rivalry, though.  DePauw probably should have won the '07 game by more than the FG.  Marks was loose all day. 

DePauw lost in '03 37-20, but gave Wabash over 400 total yards with Morris and LaFitte going nuts all day. Yeah, Wiethoff left with the injury, but still.  DePauw didn't play very well on that day at all with a couple of crippling turnovers.  DePauw lost in '02 35-7, but could have conceivably lost that game by 50 or more the way they played. 

Wabash shouldn't have even needed the Hail Mary in '01.  500 total yards for the LG's and SIX! turnovers for DePauw.  The story is exactly reversed in 2000.  Six turnovers for the LG's, but DePauw needed 18 in the fourth to come back and win.

It's one of the neat things about this rivalry.  It doesn't always make sense.  The scoreboard and the stat sheet don't often agree on the outcome.

This might be the first time I've ever seen someone on the losing side of a game go there. :)
