Hope by 3 at the half - 33-30. Wish we had the video feed again. :\'(
(And I cannot use the cry smilie because the javascript doesn't work on a mac and I cannot type in this one like the other faces - perhaps I just cannot figure out the right combo)

I too was at the DePauw game. We made the roadtrip from Ohio to Indiana! During the game I noticed that there was a gentleman in a suit with his wife (I assumed) sitting at the end of our row in the HOPE section. During one of the infamous DePauw student section cheers, I turned to him and asked if he was the DU President. He affirmed. I then asked if he condoned this type of cheering. He looked at me, with a baffled look, and said, "What cheers?" I then pointed to the DU student section, and said, "That cheer, don't you hear it?" He then said, "I don't hear anything." But... his eyes really said it all. He heard it. But did NOTHING. My letter will be written, but in a few days!

Hmmm....Let me start by agreeing with sGo Hope, and add that I was sitting next to the adult DePauw section (or one of them, anyway), and they were about as bad. Loud, obnoxious, just plain scary. When yelling obscenities at the refs over every step wasn't working, when calling some of our girls "dirty players" didn't work, they started swearing at their own players. As you all know, that didn't help either!It really was disgusting.
As to something being done -- there was a little bit done. Someone from Hope in a position of authority, after several choruses of "Hope s#cks" and the other disgusting outbursts spoke to the NCAA rep and the AD for DePauw about it. The choruses of "Hope s#cks" did stop, but not the other stuff, as best as I could tell. It was an embarassment for DePauw -- why would a school put up with that at an event of this caliber???

For any extra fuel needed against DePauw, one of the Dew Crew members down front commented that one of the costumed DePauw students looked like the Fonz and learned that this made him a "f--got." That was just one student though, which is nearly impossible to control, but the fact that similar venom became organized and consistent is the reason that the NCAA should seriously consider advising DePauw as to why home tournament games won't be played there any time soon.

Just spoke with a person who has a family member that goes to De Pauw. They attended the game a week ago De Pauw/Marysville, and he commented the behavior on the part of De P students was worse than anything he has seen MIAA, Big 10, GLAIC etc. etc. Language was terrible, and students started chanting for Marysville to leave at the half. DP was up 17 at the time.
This person sat right behind the De Pauw President. He indicated the President left at halftime, and walked right by the student section, and didn't say a thing. To me this indicates that administration condones classless, and unsportmans like behavior.
He (my acquaintance) is sorry now he didn't say something to the President, but thought he would do it when the guy came back after the half, but the Pres. left the building.

This is really off-topic here. There's a very underutilized MIAA women's board that should contain this line of discussion.

While I'm rather biased, I'd like to comment on the DPU student section.
First, I have a hard time believing that was the first time you ever heard a BS call at a basketball game. That happens at every level all the way up to the NBA. I mean come on. The student section at every D1 school (Duke excluded, which prefers "We Big to Differ") in the country uses that one.
Second, the administration did do something about the use of the F word. There was a mandate laid down by DPU Police in the first half that anybody (or everybody if necessary) that used the F word would be ejected. To my knowledge, nobody was ejected, but the F word wasn't present in the second half either. I heard it in the first half, and the administration stopped it.
I also apparently completely blanked the "whore" incident. Everyone I've spoken to who was at the game (including the "leader" of the student section itself) has no recollection of your allegation, either.
I've been on the road with DePauw men's and women's teams, and several of them (particularly in some non-conference games, mostly not within the SCAC) were way worse than anything I heard at the Neal Fieldhouse on Friday or Saturday. That's not a defense, but go play at Wabash or at Centre one night. You'll never want to go that place ever again. Obviously your women can't play Wabash, but what you saw was a walk in the park compared to that outing this year.
Say what you will, apparently those of us here in Greencastle don't show the same high moral values that you'll find at the DeVos Fieldhouse. No way a couple thousand college students would EVER do anything immoral.
