If you're in Olmos Park you're going to get arrested. 

You Little Giants are so gosh darn clever sometimes.  That is really some top notch stuff right there.  Do you have an entire routine?  I'd love to hear it sometime.

After a couple of Monon Bell wins, this Dick in particular will be one of the few that you Wabash folk don't like.

I thought I recalled somebody mentioning that Cannon was suspended for the TLU game for a team violation or something or other.  Does that mean he'll be playing this week?  Anybody with any info on that?

Wow.... what an odd day.

Not trying to rub it in, it's a serious question:

When's the last time Trinity and Wabash lost on the same day? 

I'd say it's cause for celebration in Greencastle.

I'd like to agree with a lot of the things that Lefty said.  I was in back in town to see the game today, and thought the offense started very slowly.  It seemed like DPU became more committed to the run late, and they were able to make some hay when they gave up on the pass.  Winkle made a couple bad throws both mentally and mecanichally, but handled himself well overall in his first career start.

Defense was excellent.  Plain and simple.  I was a little concerned about the LB corps, but Farrow, Lewis, and Brandstatter/McElwain all played pretty well in my eyes.

Anderson's RB was legit, and the D held the Ravens to 10 rushing yards in the first half. 

Tigers still with some things to work on for next week.  We'll see how they look against the Dutchmen.

Have anything else on that?  That's a little... odd... to throw that out there and not have a little support for it.


I've heard several times that there were some disagreements about some sensitive issues regarding hirings, but to the best of my knowledge, he wasn't forced out.

I also wasn't aware that Coach Walk was in over his head.  That's news to me, too.

Hey Team,

I'd be remissed if I didn't throw a comment in the hat here.  While I haven't been around the situation (I'm now graduated and actually doing work for a living... so former_dpu_radio_guy i guess).. I'm not really surprised that this is hush-hush. 

I covered DPU athletics for WGRE for 4 years, and was part the football program as a student coach for a year as well.  The administration won't give you any details on anything.  This isn't anybody's fault in Athletics, PR, Sports Info, or anyone else except the people at the top.  It's the same way with anything that happens at that University.  It isn't just athletics.  This adminstration about as close to the vest as it gets.

I'm not speaking on behalf of WGRE or DPU athletics, but that administration won't tell you a thing.  I know it's frustrating.. it was always very frustrating for me as well trying to get facts out of the suits on anything and everything. 

I'm not sure how it is at Trinity or Millsaps or any of these other conference schools, but this is typical stuff from these people.

As somebody who isn't affiliated with DPU anymore, I'll tell you that Coach Walker is a stand up guy who will take the program in the right direction as long as he is at the head.  Having Coach Long along side won't hurt, either.  Those guys know the drill and will insure the program is in good hands.

I'm surprised that the vote is that close.

Dustin should have won DPOTY last year. Hopefully this year he will leave no doubt.

You're so right. Hertel got robbed.

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.

Well, it's official.  Wheaton, Wash U., and Hope are all coming to Greencastle this weekend.  I'm already fired up for the Wash U/Hope game, that should be a dandy.

etg,

Not even sure who the DPU QB is on 9/23.  Says something, don't it? 

Seriously, I think Cannon will get better.  Satterfield's probably the best all around QB in the conference, it's who I voted for.  He's got more legs than Cannon, and throws a pretty accurate ball.

Boy...that's it?  That's the best in conference?  I need a throw-up emoticon.

Well maybe now that the Maryville (TN) men have dispatched a top tier SCAC team, the Lady Scots can do the same.  None of the experts saw this MC-Trinity rout coming, so why should we believe them about Maryville- DePaul?

Good one.  DePaul.  I've never heard that before.   :D :D :D Gave it a good run for a couple minutes or so...

86-58 the final BTW.  Liz Bondi with 19 & 13.  Foul trouble for the bigs for MC, and Liz Bondi went crazy.  DPU also 8-14 from 3.

DPU beat Marian 7-6 yesterday.  7 errors in the game, DPU making 4  of them. Needless to say, struggled in the field a little.  My first look at DPU this year, and they look kinda rusty early in the year, but it was good to see the bats finally come around a little bit.  DPU 3-2 on the year.

Wow, Pat.  The definition of efficiency.  Impressive.  I certainly appreciate you giving us a little dap.
