I made 'em for this time of year -- I'm gone, but they remain!  'Monon Memories' from 1890-2019, in order, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x-Hia-fqx4&list=PLwnGvLLgIMA74Q_LhRzSH8EllfFAkm1nj

Can't push back on #116, but let's not forget 2008, when one of the best W teams in recent/any history (#2 in the nation) got completely whooped on their home turf.  And aren't these two games (among others, and as painful as they can be) what make the series so special?  It's own day and a season unto itself.

Have a great week!

This just in - Bill is a great guy and a good friend.  Happy for him, sad to see him going. https://www.depauwtigers.com/sports/fball/2019-20/releases/20191119iciznn

IIRC the undefeated team was '80.  '81 was my senior year and DP won the Bell.

Win or lose, always great to see my friends in red.  It was a special day for me (my last MB) -- we have a pretty special thing with this rivalry.

Good video about the Monon Bell game.  Thanks to Ken Owens, DPU '82.  Shoulda been a Wabash guy....

Thanks, 83 LG!

Here's the 2019 Monon Memory - just finished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bzblk-MiHw

I had a great time doing this podcast yesterday (Steve Hoffman also did a segment).  Will be strange working my final Monon Bell game, but it's always a blast.

Agreed, Ron!

DePauw takes a 13-0 lead at Central and then gives up 28 straight.  At halftime.

Friend of mine from high school wrote the article.  This quote from Morel has me struggling:

"The kids have higher expectations than me," Morel said. "That's what makes it such an easy place to coach."

Great that the kids have high expectations, I would expect nothing less.  But higher than the head coach?  That's a disconnect for me.

Can't it just be that he's giving the players the spotlight?  I don't think it has to be any more complicated than that.

If it wasn't Morel, maybe.  But what exactly has he done to inspire confidence in anybody?  I commend him for the job he did keeping the kids together last year with dealing with the Hansen tragedy, but he has never exuded a championship vibe to me.  Do you think the kids had higher expectations than Creighton or Raeburn?  I don't.  If I'm reading too much into it, then guilty as charged.

Long time reader, first time poster here.

As a proud DePauw alum, I have to tell you guys, Wabash has been rolling over my Tigers for years now. DePauw has been on the wrong end of the Monon Bell 14 times since 2000, and all signs point to continued futility on our end (even though it is a little bit more competitive lately). Might I ask, with all sincerity, what exactly are you guys looking for in a coaching staff? We have our complaints with Lynch, but the numbers are in our favor. There is a real disconnect here in your case, at least as an outsider looking in. Also, lets be honest, "Championship Vibe" is what us old guys who don't know football try to say to stay relevant. It is truly an empty saying.

And, as an added bonus (and all in good fun, CPA) what was YOUR Monon Bell record over in Crawfordsville?

I was 4 - 0 here in Greencastle.

Proud DePauw alum who winds up in the middle of this game every year.  There aren't two better guys than Bill Lynch and Don Morel, and as much as I want to beat Wabash every year, Coach Morel is a complete class act and exemplifies, I believe, Wabash at it's very best.

Good luck to all as we get set to kick off '19!
