With Hollett being torn down, I was just trying to remember the best games I've seen played there. Without a doubt, I think the best...or rather, most exciting game I saw there was the Playoff come back win over North Central in 2011. What a game.
Number 2 would be the 1982 game verses Dayton where we won 14-13. One of the 5 best games I've ever seen a Wabash team play...period.
Number 3 would be the 2010 Bell Game where DePauw came into the game the overwhelming favorite and we won 47-0. The only sad part of the day is that we didn't win 60 - 0.
I know there was a Wittenberg game that was fabulous but I didn't see that one.
My number 1 all time game, which was not played at Hollet, was "The Catch" game down at DePauw in 2001?
Anyone else?

Just read the Indianapolis Monthly article about the Bell game. The last 4 sentences sort of sums up a lot about the differences between the 2 schools. Mamma's boys can't guard the bell so they need the police to do it for them. Note: Wabash does not.

"The last successful heist was in 1998. Wabash students pulled off a daring raid on Halloween and brought the Bell back to Wabash. Today, when DePauw has possession, it places the Bell on a pressure sensor wired to the local police station. Wabash does not."

WLG....thank you for bringing us back to reality. I know when I heard about the suicide, I felt like someone gut punched me and I didn't know the young man or his family. I was out of sorts for a couple of days.  Can't imagine what those guys on the team are going through. I mean....when I played at Wabash, my sophomore year...one of captains quit the team...and I remember it having a really negative effect on the team. I can't imagine what the effects might be when a captain commits suicide. Every guy will go through this differently as will every coach. I'm rooting for this team and for the WAF attitude to come back. But, if it doesn't....then I'll root for them again next year too.

Was just scanning the schedules for Savannah State and Eastern Michigan. Creighton and Raeburn both have interesting match ups on Sept. 8. Eastern Michigan plays Purdue at Purdue. Savannah State plays Miami at Miami. Good luck to both former Wabash coaches this season. Nate Scola is on staff at Savannah State as Running Backs coach. He should know a little about running backs...he planted several of them playing for Wabash.

1837...Great Interview with Maguire. Lot's of love given to the Monon Bell and I loved the Wabash guys giving him a free TWR. (Wabash guys will know what that means)

Let's have a great game today without permanent injury to anyone and....Go Wabash. Wabash Always Fights!

I have read several posts by Wabash men who have commented about the size of the DePauw team as being small....and yet as I look at the two deep depth chart, they seem to be every bit as big as the Wabash guys. What am I missing? I mean both teams have an inside linebacker in the 1 hundreds so we're equal there. Oh...unless you're talking about small as in manliness or in mental  aptitude or some such thing as that. 

Kudos to DPU for the Monon Bell section of their football site. The Monon Memories for every year of the rivalry is really good stuff. Great to look back and remember...both the good and the not so much.

Back in the late 60/s and early to mid 70's, Wabash and DePauw were both members of the ICC, Indiana Collegiate Conference. The ICC consisted of Butler, Evansville, Valparaiso, St. Joseph, University of Indianapolis (Indiana Central back then), Wabash and DePauw. Wabash, DePauw and St. Joe usually fought not to be at the bottom of the conference. The last year we were in the ICC was for the 1975 season, when Wabash dropped out and became a part of the newly formed Division III. For the next few years, we played Butler, U of I, St. Joe and Valpo, eventually dropping them off the schedule as we started playing more D-3 competition. In the 1976 we lost three games...one to Butler, one to University of Indianapolis and one to Albion, who went undefeated and won the MIAA. The next year, the Stagg Bowl year, we defeated St. Joe and Valpo during the season. So thankful those days of only 8 teams going to the playoffs is over as it was all politics, who you knew and who you could get to vote for you. I don't think we would have gone to the playoffs in '77 if anyone over than Frank Navarro had been our coach. He had coached at Columbia had a lot of eastern connections.
