The times are a changing at DePauw. I think the Boyzzz might be in for a surprise this year.
Bear:
The game with Witt this weekend will give us all an indication of the degree of improvement in the DPU football program. The last visit to Witt in 2012 was a 52-14 loss. Last year, Witt beat DPU on its home turf 45-0. No place to go but up.
Totally agree. DePauw has had a few lean years since Walker was ousted. I think that with the new coaching staff, the fantastic additions to the athletic facilities, and a University that is finally understanding the value of athletics in the "whole student" experience, there is only one way to go. Will it be this year or next before DePauw is the caliber of program it was in the late 90's - early 2000's? Only time will tell.
It will be interesting to see how DePauw competes for players now that it has some of the best athletic facilities in the region. You add that to a top-notch education, an amazing campus and an unparalleled social experience, and you would have to be a caveman not to choose DePauw.
If anything, for selfish reasons, it makes my trip back for the Monon Bell that much more enjoyable when DePauw is competitive.
B-Bear, I think that might be the most unantagonistic post you've ever made :)

Ryan, it is early, the caveboyzz have yet to get my Irish up. That, and I truly believe that DePauw has righted the ship and has turned the program around. Only time will tell.

B Bear - it is a bit early this. Certainly DePauw had a nice win in game one, but it is a long way to go to the Monon Bell Game. This Saturday's game with Witt will be a much better measuring stick as to the amount of progress achieved. Coach Lynch is both a gentleman and a quality coach, but there eight games to be played before the Monon Bell Game. By then the crystal ball won't be as hazy as it is today. Remember what Hemingway said about for whom the bell tolls.

Amendment 20 has been around since 2000. We are a little more progressive out here.

By no means do I think DePauw can go from the bottom to the top in one season, although that would be nice. I do think that with the new enhancements in Greencastle, the days of Dabash winning the arms race are coming to an end. What possibly can Dabash offer that DePauw can't? That list is getting smaller and smaller.
Dear B Bear
Once again, as impressive as DePauw's opening game win was, the results from this weekend's game will provide a better measuring stick as to the extent of the progress. Coach Lynch is both a very good coach and a true gentleman, and will no doubt continue to make strides forward. This discussion needs to be put on hold to Monon Bell Week to really be meaningful.

I take it from the lack of talk that Dabash was surprised how well DePauw played.
Positives:
Tied at half. Outgaining Wittenberg in yards (427 to 349, with a an average of 6.7 a play). Hunt going 14-26 for 296 with an average of 11.4 yards per pass. Matching Wittenberg in rushing. Out punting Wittenberg. Statistically, almost matching the Wittenberg Tigers across the board.
Negatives:
Turning the ball over 7 times. Not winning.
Using this game as an indicator (As the Caveboyzz like to do), I think it is safe to say that DePauw has made some major changes to the program and it is on the right track. No matter how good of a team you have, you can not turn over the ball that many times and expect to win.
You boyzzz scared yet?
Not trembling, nor quaking. Just anticipating a better game than the lambasting of the previous years.

I think DePauw's recent games show that they are pointed in the right direction. I do miss all those years when the Bell was in the right home.

Just so the DPU fans out there don't think that the Wabash faithful are not seeing what is going on down south -
Quote from Wally_Wabash from the North Region Fan Poll page
"And one more note on DePauw before I put a bow on my ballot for this week- they're coming. I think bashgiant asked an honest question about a team that he's seen Wabash beat to smithereens for the last 5 years. And for a couple of those years, DePauw was BAD. They aren't bad anymore. They're playing good ball, they've beaten three teams in 2014 that they lost to in 2013 and quite frankly I think they're now a favorite in every game they'll play the rest of the way until week 11. Lynch flipped that thing around about a year quicker than I thought he could."
I too think that DPU has a great shot at coming into the Monon Bell game with a one-loss record. Great turn around for the New Tigers and Coach Lynch. Looking forward to 11/15. If the LGs make it past Witt, this game will have reached the point we had hoped for - both the Bell and sole/shared ownership of the conference title on the line.
Game on.....Looking more and more like this year's Monon Bell Game will be a good one. Still early, lots of football to be played... but. This is a different Depauw squad. On the fence about seeing it in person?... it's going to be a good game in Crawfordsville...that could mean huge things for both teams.
Wabash has a chance for their 6th straight victory. This would represent the longest time that either team has had the Bell since the 1955-1964 stretch that Depauw was in possession of it. (couple of ties sprinkled in that time frame.)
10/16/1943 - Arguably the most dominant individual performance in Monon Bell history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuPfuIlTBq0
I'm making plans to be in Seattle for our viewing party! Hopefully it will be as successful as the ones I attended in Florida!

I guess I was wrong. The Dannies were checkmated by the Bishops this past weekend and did not look at all like title-contenders. I think the New Tigers will roll into the final game of the season sporting a 6-3 record (losing to Wooster as well). However, the Monon Bell game seemingly brings out the best and worst in both teams (in inverse proportions) and I am looking forward to what looks to be the most competitive game in five years. Regardless of the outcome of the Witt game, Wabash will have no reason to look beyond the Bell game - a win will secure a playoff spot as well as a potential home-field for one or more playoff games.
Here's to six in a row - I would not wish that on my worst enemy, except our friends to the south of course.
Check out the article on the D3 website about DePauw (link below):
http://www.d3football.com/columns/around-the-region/greatlakes/2014/turning-it-around-at-depauw (http://www.d3football.com/columns/around-the-region/greatlakes/2014/turning-it-around-at-depauw)
Good article - Lynch has done a great job rebuilding the football program. I am looking forward to the build-up to this year's game. First time in several years that there is some reason for hope for the school to the south.
It is starting to look like it might be a game up in Crawfordsdingle this year.

Yea - that OWU score knocked the wheels off of the Dannie bandwagon. The good news is that DPU has a much better team and in beating them, so much the greater enjoyment.
BTW, word has it the some bells have gone missing from the Crawfordsville area. The police think that a few enterprising Dannies, not knowing what the Monon Bell looks like, are stealing bells from wherever they can find them in hopes that one might be the elusive holy grail - the Monon Bell. Hell, one Dannie was arrested over last week trying to kidnap a female railroad worker. He had the "Dan Quayle" disease and was trying to steal a Monon belle - hmmm do you spell that with an "e" Dan?
Looking forward to next week. In the mean time, Wabash has their sights on a different group of Tigers.
This kid has had more time with the Bell than any Dannies have since you so graciously gave it to us for keeps on 11/14/2009.

Breckenridge Bear, I wouldn't cite 1998 as an example. This was the great signal stealing scandal and it is a shameful, slimy blotch on DePauw. Just like Lady MacBeth, this is a stain than won't ever wash away or be forgotten. I have no doubt that your post will be on the wall of the LG locker room as motivation.

This is probably the smartest thing the Bear, sorry daBear, is going to say in the next two weeks. There is definitely history that works against the side that has already secured a game beyond week 11 (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010).

You are being too kind to DaBear. While there is a kernel of truth as you note, 2011 and 2002 stand in stark contrast to the others.
I still remember 1985 and 1986, when the Dannies had a playoff chance and we crushed them. Crushed. Them.

Signal stealing scandal? You boyzzz sure do like to make up excuses for a good old fashioned wood shedding.
If giving up 42 points is due to poor "signals", i.e. play calling, that were "stolen", you (and the rest of the tinfoil wearing cave boy conspiracy theorists) obviously failed to watch the game. And exactly which signals were stolen? Offense or defense?
If I am remembering correctly, DePauw (The Stigall/Simmons crew) out rushed Dabash something like 340 to 30. DePauw also won the turnover/takeaway margin (even if Hare spotted you boyzzz 7). DePauw also controlled the clock, time of possession, and conversions. If there really was a "shameful, slimy blotch on DePauw", Dabash must have, 1) had some real easy signals, 2) had a direct line of communication with the Tiger's sideline, or, 3) was not creative enough to hide what they were doing. I know it is a shock to you boyzzz, but most of football is trying to figure out what the other team is doing on each play, and preparing for that. If you prepare better, you win. Easy enough a caveman can do it.
The fact of the matter is an underdog DePauw team won big, and Wabash was looking ahead to the playoffs. I hope that history repeats itself.

They do. 2011 DePauw was borderline inept. 2002 DePauw wasn't by any means awful, but they ran into a Wabash team that hadn't lost since September 2001, and featured one Jake Knott at the absolute height of his Knott-ness. That was really the year where Wabash made the move out of the "we're playing for the Monon Bell and that's really it every year" mode and into the "we want to play important games beyond this one" and that separation was evident in 2002.
In 1998, what DePauw did was ****y and they shouldn't have done it, but they did. They found a loophole and got one over on us. As evident as it was as to what was going on so early in that game, not adjusting is on Wabash. It's taken awhile, but I'm over that one now. 2010 was cathartic in that regard. 47-0.
DaBear
In 1998, it well documented, that you had a couple of spies who attended most, if not all of the Wabash games and carefully cataloged all the signals - both offensive and defensive that Wabash used. For the Bell Game, by having this information, DePauw was essentially in the Wabash huddle for every play. As Wally notes this was not against the rules of the old Indiana conference, but it was a slimy matter. No question that DePauw got the better of Wabash that Bell Game and likely would have won that day without having to resort to such tactics.
Neither team can afford to overlook the other in the Bell Game. As Wally notes, there are enough examples when that has happened. 1998 might have been a victory for DePauw, but it was hardly your finest hour. The systematic signal stealing and the destructive post game riot are truly a nadir in a long standing and storied rivalry. To this day, the security at the Bell Game is oppressive and takes away from the fun, and that is a legacy of 1998.

"Security at the Bell Game is oppressive". I do agree it is overkill, but it was like that before 1998. I also think it is necessary when there are a bunch of Caveboyzz running around, governed only by some code, and not the laws of men. ;)

DePauw English majors-Yawn. Ok- so we are all up to speed 1998 was the first year after DPU left for "greener pastures" of the "superior competiton" (and frequent flyer miles) of the SCAC. It was the first nonconference game and not under ICAC (now HCAC) league rules which forbade live scouting of conference opponents. DPU live scouted every game. To say coach nick and Greg Carlson didnt take too kindly to each other would be a bit of an understatement. The game was a blowout. Wabash had won the conference championship the week before (we didn't get AQs until 1999). Wabash played poorly and did not respond well to the situation on the field. At halftime, the Wabash based chain crew who worked on the depauw side of the field warned Wabash coaches that they thought DPU knew all the plays. No adjustments were made. I believe the 7 points that Wabash did score were either a defensive td or a broken play or audible. Carlson filed a complaint against coach nick to the AFCA- who admitted that the scouting took place. No rules were technically broken. The AFCA dismissed the complaint and encouraged the schools to iron out all details in future game contracts. Carlson was shown the door two seasons later after losing the next two bell games and still stands as the #2 winningest football coach in Wabash history, one elusive win short of the #1 spot.
After dePauw wins in both 1996 and 1998 in Crawfordsville, depauw students stormed the field and tore down the goalposts. Wabash fans didn't take too kindly to that either and both fan sections had an opportunity to express their feelings about their opponents in a very up close and personal manner. If there ever was a low point of the rivalry, it was then. Fast forward to 2001, a miracle catch as time expired in greencastle sent the bell back north. Surprisingly, those of us celebrating in the end zone decided to leave the DPU goalposts alone.
Yet another summary smackdown of the dabear....so funny. I'm sure he reacts like this after every Wabash post:

Bear:
For me, I was more pissed at the Wabash coaching staff than at DPU for stealing our signals. Etiquette be damned, that was a major oversight in my opinion. I did not see the game and only learned of the details afterward. I was surprised that we did not change our signals specifically for the DePauw game - we did the one year that I played. Secondly, when told what was going at the half, the coaches did nothing. During the second half, the DePauw players could still be heard on the sidelines calling our plays after they were signaled in. I never understood the basis for Carlson's complaint other than an attempt to cover his embarrassment and to shift the blame to DePauw. From what I have read, since DePauw was no longer part of the conference, the coach was not bound by any legal authority not to steal signs. Other Wabash posters may not agree, but this one was on Wabash. I think that is why it is such a burr under our saddle.

"Well documented"? I only hear words. Proof or it didn't happen.
DePauw English majors-Yawn. Ok- so we are all up to speed 1998 was the first year after DPU left for "greener pastures" of the "superior competiton" (and frequent flyer miles) of the SCAC. It was the first nonconference game and not under ICAC (now HCAC) league rules which forbade live scouting of conference opponents. DPU live scouted every game. To say coach nick and Greg Carlson didnt take too kindly to each other would be a bit of an understatement. The game was a blowout. Wabash had won the conference championship the week before (we didn't get AQs until 1999). Wabash played poorly and did not respond well to the situation on the field. At halftime, the Wabash based chain crew who worked on the depauw side of the field warned Wabash coaches that they thought DPU knew all the plays. No adjustments were made. I believe the 7 points that Wabash did score were either a defensive td or a broken play or audible. Carlson filed a complaint against coach nick to the AFCA- who admitted that the scouting took place. No rules were technically broken. The AFCA dismissed the complaint and encouraged the schools to iron out all details in future game contracts. Carlson was shown the door two seasons later after losing the next two bell games and still stands as the #2 winningest football coach in Wabash history, one elusive win short of the #1 spot.
After dePauw wins in both 1996 and 1998 in Crawfordsville, depauw students stormed the field and tore down the goalposts. Wabash fans didn't take too kindly to that either and both fan sections had an opportunity to express their feelings about their opponents in a very up close and personal manner. If there ever was a low point of the rivalry, it was then. Fast forward to 2001, a miracle catch as time expired in greencastle sent the bell back north. Surprisingly, those of us celebrating in the end zone decided to leave the DPU goalposts alone.
After searching http://www.wanttoknow.info/ (http://www.wanttoknow.info/) I still can't find any reference to this theory. I do find it interesting that Dabash had spies on our sideline and still couldn't make a game of it.

Yet another summary smackdown of the dabear....so funny. I'm sure he reacts like this after every Wabash post:
I don't get it.
Bear:
For me, I was more pissed at the Wabash coaching staff than at DPU for stealing our signals. Etiquette be damned, that was a major oversight in my opinion. I did not see the game and only learned of the details afterward. I was surprised that we did not change our signals specifically for the DePauw game - we did the one year that I played. Secondly, when told what was going at the half, the coaches did nothing. During the second half, the DePauw players could still be heard on the sidelines calling our plays after they were signaled in. I never understood the basis for Carlson's complaint other than an attempt to cover his embarrassment and to shift the blame to DePauw. From what I have read, since DePauw was no longer part of the conference, the coach was not bound by any legal authority not to steal signs. Other Wabash posters may not agree, but this one was on Wabash. I think that is why it such a burr under our saddle.
This is the most intelligent post a caveboy has made in years. Stealing signals is as old as the act of signaling, and in sports it is just part of the game. If you are headed to the game next week, I would love to buy you a beer.
It wasn't the stealing of signs that was at issue, it was the season-long live scouting of games, which was prohibited (either by rule or by gentlemen's agreement, I forget which) in the ICAC that was at issue. As wabndy noted, that part of the deal wasn't in dispute and the NCAA ethics board/committee/whatever basically agreed with Wabash that it was a weak move and not sporting but also not against the rules. Wabash assumed fair play was still in order after DePauw went south, Coach Nick threw sportsmanship out the window and won himself the Monon Bell. Obviously, that was the end of any handshake agreements we might have had regarding scouting or anything else. Which is fine.
47-0. Fair and square.
Breckendoosh given the smackdown again!

I don't get it. Are you a cheerleader, sorry, I mean candy striper, Caveboy #95? Because you sure do admire a lot of your fellow Boyzzz.
The fact is that none of you have provided any proof, other than words, that any of your conspiracy theories are true.
Proof looks like this.

"The AFCA ruled in favor of Mourouzis, stating that he didn't violate any written rules or ethics." Sounds like the American Football Coach Association Ethics Committee didn't find anything wrong. So what exactly did DePauw do wrong besides adequately prepare to win the game? I am confused.

Also, on a side note, can you believe how relatively cheap tuition was back in 1999 according to The DePauw? I bet both the DePauw scholars and Dabash Boyzzz would love to have those rates.

As reported by
The Bachelor, 1/28/99 (a time which may have featured the best editorial staff in the celebrated history of the publication :)), and it was explained that Wabash made agreements with all of their non-conference opponents about the ground rules for game preparation. Will they scout, will they trade tape, if so how many games of tape, etc. Coaches Carlson and Mourouzis agreed to exchange three game tapes and that's it. Mourouzis had his people live scout those three games (which was not agreed to) and between the live scouted games and the tapes, they cracked the code.
Did DePauw break rules? They did not. The AFCA decreed it so. But now we come to that fine line between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law, and while DePauw didn't technically break rules, they definitely spat at the spirit of the rules. I get that you think that what happened was just Nick being clever. But what happened is Nick giving his word to Coach Carlson with his fingers crossed behind his back. The man
lied. That's not sporting. Coach Nick is a legend down there and he no doubt did and does a lot of great things for the university, but that honestly has to be a low point. He's a better coach and person than that.

What "smackdown"? Like the one Dabash received today, or the one Depauw inflicted? It is officially Monon Bell week, Ding MFing Dong! As I said weeks ago, looks like this might actually be a game. And yes . . . I still hate dabash.
The lesson this Sunday comes from good book of Peebles:
"For three transgressions of the Dannies and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, says Wallace of the Wabash.
Because they have coveted their neighbors' bell, they shall never possess the Bell, and it shall remain in stronger hands than theirs all the days of their lives, and they shall hear its sounds ringing in their ears, and they shall lust after it, but they shall be forever frustrated.
Becuase they have defaced their neighbors' campus, they shall fall before Stan Parrish and his mighty men, and they shall be powerless before the run, before the pass, and before the field goal, and they shall see many points on the scoreboard, but non shall be theirs, and they shall hear many cheers, but none shall praise them.
Because they have broken their neighbors' windows, their own conceit will be broken. And because they have stolen their neighbors' banner, their tiger's tail will be cut in pieces. And, because they have dared to oppose the sons of Wabash in open combat, they shall be cut off out of the land of the living, and their name shall perish from the face of the earth.
But with the sons of Wabash it is not so. The sons of Wabash will possess the goals of the Dannies, and the mighty men of Parrish will trample the faces of the Dannies in the mud, and the hosts of Wabash call their team blessed. And even even the Dannies will remember that giants trod once again upon the earth that day.
And the sons of Wabash will possess the women of the Dannies, and will bear them triumphantly away from Greencastle to a fair land to the north, a land flowing with beer, yea with much fine beer and with other pleasures that gladden the hearts of men, and there they shall dwell securely and in happiness all the days of their lives. And the sons of Wabash shall leave the shadow of their own vines, and their own fig trees, only once a year, as they travel triumphantly to and from Phoenix City, and as they pass a brown spot on the Indiana earth, they will say, that once was the Dannies."
Thus speaketh Yahweh.
Oh, Bear.

Depauw just got destroyed by Witt in passing yards, rushing yards, etc . . . And those 7 turnovers didn't make any difference in the outcome.
Despite the score, I believe that Depauw played Witt fairly well.

As reported by The Bachelor
A rather self-serving source, wouldn't you agree? I suppose "self-service" is the norm for many Wallys whom fear acting on their urges would make Liberace blush.
Happy Monon Week (to two of you)!!! Jeez, it smells like sex in here. Bear, I hope your o-ring is holding up after 2 months with these starved deviants. Did Coach Nick steal signals? Doubt it. Do I really give a ****? Nope. As Wally indicated, even if this contemptful allegation is true, Gash failed to adjust. I believe even Wallies are familiar with Einstein's definition of insanity.
Full disclosure: it's been a tough start to the decade for Depauw fans. I never thought I'd see 5 consecutive Bells lost to Gash in my lifetime. Perhaps it's simple karma collecting on the 4 Bells I thoroughly enjoyed (during DPU's last streak of 5). Thouroughly. Enjoyed. Perhaps it's payback for activating so many Wally dental plans. Either way, I earned my "I Survived Robby Long" t-shirt and my Lynch Mob shrine is almost complete. That lump you feel down below is not a penis and no, it's not in your anus. That lump is simply nerves. We all see the storm swirling on the horizon. The brutal, unforgiving ****storm that is a team of angry Tigers is coming to a tiny stadium near you -- just not sure if it hits this year or next. Apparently our recruiting is much improved, and with our facilities not even Michael Sam would choose Wally World. But nobody want's to hear about the future; we're all more interested in the now.
For now I'll say 20-28 in favor of Wabash. That's what my gut says. My heart says 55-14 DPU but the Tiger's air attack is too thin for such a score to be realistic. I can stomach a loss (we've all had to deal with that) but the tought of consecutive Bell #6 to Gash makes me nauseous. History has taught me to stay optimistic; we all remember 2001: the ghost of Harvey Milk sprang from Knott's limp wrist and carried the ball 52 yards through the air for a Wally TD as time expired. That miracle prevented Depauw from claiming its straight 6. We have all witnessed strange phenomena in this clash and it's nice to know Tiger fans don't have to "hope" as much as we have recently. Our program is almost tuned for payback.
It was great meeting some of the Gashies back in 2012. That encounter inspired me to open two new corporations and sales for voodoo dolls and urinal cakes continue to rise. Should your beverages require any antifreeze, please stop by our tailgate. Bear and I can explain reproductive science and even help with your Container Store applications. Ding motherf***in dong.

I can always tell it is Monon Bell Week when Danny Boy shows up to the party.
Here is some more Bell Week motivation:
http://depauwtigers.com/sports/fball/monon_bell/video/balladplaylists
Happy Monon......
I went back and read the 5 pages (of mostly crap) spewed back and forth....the whining and crying about a game you Caveboyzz haven't gotten over 16 years ago, the fact that handshakes didn't happen...something I didn't mind....the rivalry used to have a hint of disgust and hatred....but it's 2014, and PC is the way to be.
I watched much of the 'Bash/Witt game last week....was a good game....dominated at the LOS by 'Bash, but costly turnover that led to a defensive TD. Honestly, Wabash's defense (as usual) is what's to worry about. You get to the QB...but speaking of your QB play...there's something more to be desired there.....
I'm looking forward to a better game....we all are. We've said as much the last 5 years on these very boards. But honestly, there's nothing more I'd enjoy than a 35-7 win...DPU is trending up....Lynch has done it quicker than I thought he would. He's a perfect coach for that University. As for the facilities, Bear is right....tough to argue Crawfordsville is a better spot these days.

Here is the link to the parking information from Wabash's website. I thought that the DePauw fans were going to be directed to site of the former Lew Wallace Inn as it is a larger parking area. However, the Fine Arts lot is saved for them.

DePauw fans - I would suggest parking at "the Lew", or where the Lew used to be - 309 W Pike. There is more space and while it is across campus, it is still a hell of a lot closer to the field than Wabash's designated parking area in Dannieland.

At least Muffy is better than Stan. And isn't it a Zima instead of the HCLMC? You boyzzz are slippin . . .
Let me count myself as one who is a little concerned about Saturday. I was in Springfield last week, and I'm worried the Wabash Offense has become too one-dimensional. Holmes and Zurek are both workhouses in the ground game but Wabash is not as strong as in year's pass through the air.
However, the Wabash Defense remains stellar. Will the Dannies be able to put up enough points to make it a game despite a sluggish, at times, Wabash Offense?
DePauw won most of the games they should and lost one they should have lost. The gap does appear to be closing. Matt Hunt is a very good quarterback.
Partly cloudy and 39 is the forecast for Saturday. Need to double-up on the Fireball to stay warm. I love this rivalry. I love this game. Excited to see what happens on Saturday. Gut tells me Bash squeaks out a close one, I'm going WAF 20 DNQ 17. Ding ding.
Their general New Tiger-style evilness will outweigh all factors, though....
BTW, I can feel the Bell ringing loud and clear all the way from C'ville to Ellensburg.
The Phi Delts from DePauw and Wabash are relaying a commemorative game ball from DePauw to Wabash on Friday. Accompanying the Monon Bell Game Ball Relay for ALS, the two chapters have issued a Monon Bell Bucket Challenge as the fundraising arm of the event. FYI - ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease) is Phi Delta Theta's charitable partner as Lou Gerhig was a Phi Delt ('25) from Columbia University.
The chapter that raises the least amount of money will do the ice bucket challenge. All fundraising will be done online and we are contacting our respective chapter and school alumni bases to compete. Below is the link to Monon Bell Bucket Challenge event website. If you want to donate to either the DePauw "team" or Wabash "team", just click on the appropriate box on the right-hand side of the page.

Note: this is a donation to straight to ALS and not to DePauw or Wabash and nobody is making any money on this deal other than ALS research. All gifts are tax deductible and you will get a receipt with your donation. So, you Wabash guys out there, click on the link and give to the Wabash team so we can "Dump on a Dannie".

Yes, but somewhat misleading. All capable of donating should do so. However, if DePauw wins the challenge the Wallies plan to use Wesson oil -- not ice water. For shame!
From
The DePauw:
Jimmy Kimmel knew his audience while visiting DePauw University, opening with, "I was invited to come to Wabash tonight, but I said I'd sooner die than go to that pack of deadbeats."
Should be busy tomorrow sharpening everything within reach and painting my neighborhood stop signs gold. Looking forward to gathering some insider info on Friday when we visit the Wally moms at Touch of Class. God speed to all Dannies traveling Friday and Saturday. See you at the tailgate, and don't be shy about bringing an extra bag of ice (the Manhattans really deplete our reserves). I encourage Wally nation to drive fast and take chances. Happy Monon to all, and to all a good fight.
Awww, Dannie Boy still upset and frustrated... :'(

Think I'm frustrated? Try talking to your dad. Mommy may be happy since she still gets to dress you, but all that poor man wanted was a return on his $8k investment and maybe a grandkid.
Sweet post though. Nice to see some progress from toadie-esque cheerleading. Got a score prediction for Saturday? (Hint: "Yeah, gonna score with Stephen!" is not the answer)
Dannie-
Unfortunately my mom passed a few years ago.
But I did call my Dad...he couldn't talk though... he was too busy banging your mom.

But he answered the phone because he wanted you to know that he was doing something you never had experienced? I'm confused.

Because he was using all the gov assistance paying to bang Danny Boy's mom? Or, because he was disappointed in the choice you made for further "Education" (The thought of calling Dabash higher education makes me laugh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)? It's a shame your "daddy" didn't care about education, but that is the reason a place like DaGash exists. At least the cycle has stopped. Going to DaGash usually puts an end to future procreation . . . for obvious reasons.
That ice cold Zima with Miffy is going to be great on Saturday.

Ah yes, the annual "holy hand grenade".
Break out the coconuts - it is time to mete out a few more flesh wounds.
Guess how many times DPU has scored in the first half since 2010?
Once.
Since 2010, Wabash has out-scored Depauw 94-7 in the first half, for an average halftime margin of 24-2.
http://youtu.be/Q9b_-31wwtE
You know what's awesome- is that in the time since DePauw has last won this game, they've had enough time to have maybe their best team in school history, their worst team in school history, run through three coaches, two conferences plus a year as an independent, and crawl back to be not completely embarrassing. I mean, that's an entire historical era, complete with landmark events, of DePauw football that has passed since the last time they won. And that is hilarious to me.
I'm glad the New Tigers are back, somewhat. I'd hate to have this turn into Knox / Monmouth...
The hell is this?

Wabash has yet to play in a close game this season, which could be an advantage for DePauw.
"None of [Wabash's] contests have been close, even taking the Wittenberg game into account, they are on average beating each of their opponents by 30.3 points," [WGRE Broadcaster] Robert Sherman said [stupidly]. "I think [Wabash] is still shocked at their loss, especially considering they were considered an indubitable favorite to win the NCAC. Their performance was anything but infallible and I think the deflating defeat will carry into this game," Sherman continued [sounding like a moron].
The Little Giants may not be prepared for a battle from the Tigers. [Who would be?]
"Wabash will not be ready to play two tough games in a row, which gives DePauw an edge," Sherman said [just making things up].

To be fair, Robert Sherman, wasn't around when the 2010 Little Giants lost a similarly tough game in Springfield. "How can they bounce back?" it was said. All week long, the questions surrounding Wabash's state of mind going into a game against a DePauw squad that was roughly 18 times better than this one ran amok here, in Greencastle, and even in Crawfordsville. All questions were answered- Forty-seven to zero. And Robby Long stood there for three hours with his jaw on the ground, and never again should it be questioned about whether or not Wabash has the fortitude to bounce back from a tough loss to play for the Monon Bell.

That's no surprise. You haven't got it for the last 5 years. I can't believe DePauw would send 4 women to try and steal THE BELL. That's ok they were well taken care of. ;D
GO BASH!

Of course not. I'll let you Rhodes Scholars get back to whatever it was that you were doing in here.
Depauw trumpets, in their game notes, a "BETTER THAN AVERAGE DEFENSE." I kid you not, that is an actual title of an actual section.
Depauw never quits, y'all.
DPU: "We're C+ students! Give us a trophy!"

» Bell of a Game: The Wabash College (http://sports.wabash.edu/) Little Giants and DePauw University (http://depauwtigers.com/landing/index) Tigers meet for the 121st time in the annual "Battle for the Monon Bell" on Saturday in Crawfordsville. The two Division III programs first met on the football field in 1890; Wabash, winners of five straight Bell games, holds a 58-53-9 series advantage. New to the rivalry? Here's a quick primer on the game:
DePauw—snappier dressers
Wabash—better at everything else, including football
No Monon Stag ???- must be a Greenchancre shortage of wrinkle-free polyester for the ride to Naptown? All the bellicose bluster by the Bear and the other two DPU contributors about painting stop signs, raw meat, and other unfulfilled dreams for fear of staining their khakis? Je praat nou kak! Might as well just copy / paste last years' blather, Dannies! WAF - Debauch Never Quits (Swallowing).
In all seriousness, here's to a great game - no injuries, and safe travels for all (yes, even to BreckenridgeBare and DPU Iris) ;) Cheers!

That is awesome. And pretty much spot on.
No Wabash/DPU shared Monon Bell Stag. Wabash did have an event last night, Wabash only, in Indy The reason so I've been told has something to do with the DPU president no longer supporting the event, and telling on-campus people not to attend, because of something(s) a Dannie alum said at last year's dinner (of a homophobic nature, I believe).
I can't absolutely verify this reason as truth, but I learned this information from a source I trust.
That seems like a typical Dannie over-reaction...
Well, let's just say IF a Dannie alum said something homophobic, I could see where Casey would not take too kindly to it.
They could just tell that schlub not to come back, and not ruin a fun night....
Just showed up in Crawfordsdingle. Did a paper mill explode or does it always smell like ****?
Did you take a wrong turn and end up in Terre Haute again?
Bear, clever, as always. So lame.

Good to know the Dannies will have at least one fan in the stands tomorrow.
The last Monon Stag that I heard about (unfortunately haven't been able to attend in a few years) I had heard that the DPU roaster got a little blue. Definitely not in the spirit of the event and definitely not in line with the roasts that had been going on since the revival of the event over the last ten years or so. Really too bad if that's why there was no Stag this year.

Godwin's law applied to DePauw:
The longer a depauw student/alum talks about Wabash and/or the Monon Bell, the probability that a homophobic comment will be made approaches 1.

Which, considering their current leadership, is the height of irony.
Depauw to Hell.... Keep the Bell!
Ding... Ding..
Nyah nyah
Defensive. Domination.
Bell Within Their Grasp? Nope.. Actually still quite a ways... Poor Depauw!
Viewing the empty stands on the Dannie side, guess volleyball and field hockey have become major DPU fan interests or maybe there was misinterpretation of President Casey's suggestion of avoiding the Stag and DPU loyalists thought it applied to the game. Sad to see the vacancies of our esteemed opponent's fan base, but then again a sixth straight, same result though Coach Lynch has raised excitement levels. Franklin will show better this Saturday, thankfully.
