DPU - I confirmed last night the scrimmage starts at 1 at Franklin.  It looks like they get there at 1130.  I presume with dressing out and stretching, etc, they would be ready around 1215 or so.  I assume they practice with Franklin until around 1 and then go into the scrimmage until 4.

Read DPU3619's post above.  He has it right.  They'll take longer than that to get ready and everything should start at 1 (they won't be out on the field for 4 hours).  Skill guys will do 1 on 1's i believe.  Linemen will do 1 on 1 pass rush.  Then 7-on-7 and 9-on-7, and finally a short half of scrimmage.  This is the way it has been done the last couple years. 
All of my info is just from what was done a couple years ago with this scrimmage format so it could have changed slightly.

DePauw People (from another alum to help you out former DPURadio),

How about we back the man who was named the Head Coach and look to the future of the program.  Walker got the job pretty darn close to the start of the season and hasn't had a chance to do any of his own recruiting.  I'll tell you right now (from personal experience being recruited by him for baseball and football), that he is a great recruiter for baseball and will do a heck of a job in football also.  By the way, I think someone needs to check their sources on about Walker not EVER recruiting for football.  While he doesn't go out on the recruiting trips because he is busy with baseball, he has still done some football recruiting.  Basically what I'm saying is that we need to give Walker a chance and let him recruit some players of his own.  I guarantee he will get great talent to DPU just like he has done with baseball. 

So please, give the guy a chance.  Heck, we gave Trinity ALL they wanted in San Antonio after losing a lot of players from a good team.  Plus, I know he will have them ready for the Bell game (not that it means anything, but look at what he's done to wabash in baseball since he's been named that head coach).

Scotty, I'm glad the Wabash faithful are still unable to get Dick out of their collective mind, but let's grow up a bit.  Anyway, a little bit about DePauw and the SCAC...President Bottoms was hoping to get into a southern conference (he's from Alabama if I'm not mistaken) so DePauw could recruit more students from the south.  He also wanted a conference with schools with similar academic reputations as DPU.  They were in the ICAC which had a number of schools with some "suspect" academic requirements.  So, they looked at the NCAC (a more obvious choice), but geographically I guess it wasn't what Bottoms wanted.  So, the Tigers accepted an invitation to join the SCAC.  If I'm wrong on any of this feel free to correct me, but this is what I was told by a former Kinesiology professor who was there throughout it all (not Coach Nick).

My opinion is that it is a great conference to be in.  While I can't say I enjoyed the cramped 12 hour baseball bustrips or the hassles of airports and flying to Trinity and Millsaps for football, but I'm glad I was able to experience it...it was a TON of fun.  Being a kid from a little town in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, being able to travel around the South and see a number of sites was something I will never forget.

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

ZINGER!

not sure if it's been discussed or not, but I was wondering what happened to Wabash's former RB Lafitte (sp?)?  I remember him transferring to either Arizona or ASU and hearing a bunch of talk about him getting PT this year from some Wabash people.  I checked both teams' rosters and he's not on either one.  Any info for me?  Thanks

ZING...


I also find this funny.   

I am a DPU Alum and cannot confirm what was posted.  However, I do know who this poster is and can confirm that he is "in the know" much more than I am or anyone else on here regarding the Rogers situation.

thank you big 92

well, to quote ron burgandy, agree to disagree.  I think we just have somewhat differing opinions on the matter, but remember it is still over a month till players report to camp I'm betting that he's been in phone contact with many of his players and will continue to contact the rest.  I don't want to get into it with you on here because unlike many posters from a certain school, you are sensible and don't trash DePauw for no reason.

I'm sure he's been in some form of contact with the returning players (probably a barrage of emails knowing him).  In my opinion the not calling every single player thing isn't that big of a deal because he's an in-house hire and all the returning players already know him very well.

I can understand DPU letting Walker remain the head coach in baseball. But letting him play baseball? And this close to the camp? Yikes.

I'm not saying he's a bad person; or even a bad coach. He may turn out to be a complete genius of a coach. But it sure doesn't send a good message.

How is Walker playing baseball any different than other coaches who play golf?  I can guarantee you most college coaches who are golfers are out playing up close to the start of camp.  Walker just happens to be young enough (i'm not going to say in shape enough, sorry coach) to play a more active sport.  Plus it's not like playing on a summer baseball team takes that much time anyway, probably less time than many spend golfing.

what exactly are you implying scotty?  did you find something out that we don't know?

Nowadays, that is much less common.  Head to head, we have crushed them the last 4 years - NO DOUBT. 

Check your history on that one...I believe we got one on ya there

I think a lot of people at least look at both.  I went to DePauw but got recruited and looked at both.  I wasn't really interested in Wabash though for a variety of reasons, not just the no females thing.

oh sorry, that's a summer team for college players i believe...but not a high school team
