DPU16DAD,

Thank you for your first post, it was a good one!  8)

So if there a couple of upsets then they can change the bracket??

They've published a bracket, they aren't changing it.  It's just that they haven't published the seeds.  So far all we know, maybe UWW was a 4 seed and IWU was the 1 seed.

When you play with urgency, you overcome adversity.  DPU didn't have the urgency, and so when the game shifted against them they basically had nowhere to dig down to overcome it.  Similar story to last year, when the incentives were on the other side.

Great post.

I think you hit the nail on the head.  This year's game is a mirror to last year's game.  I think we saw Wabash play their best game and saw DePauw play their B game.  Opposite of last year. 

I don't think you can discount the psychological aspect of the Bell Game.  That's probably why the series stays tied or close to tied.  The teams hate losing to each other, and when you lose a couple in a row you find a way to win.

Hey, over in the MIAC board I posted a playoff pick 'em as well. Point spread with three bonus questions. Enjoy!

       I think these words shoud be painted on the wall of Chadwick Court, the same size and color as WAF. A great story about 2 courageous men under pressure.!

Somewhere in Allen where all can see it.

Concerning our game this weekend with IWU

Anyone know anything about the assistant football coach at IWU that previously coached at Wabash?

Ladd is a southpaw...

They have blocked 6 punts this year...

They could burn it into the 18-yard line at Blackstock Stadium.

Anybody care to guess what this guy is so mad about?

I think that 'photo' was taken at the end of the Millikin game!

Does Pete get to wear pads and call his own fouls?

Hey, c'mon Wally - Pete led his team to a national title; Jack didn't.  And you want EXTRA advantages!   (Forget those 7 NBA all-star appearances; Jack didn't get it done in college. )

If Bethel beats St Thomas this weekend you may see them pop up at the bottom of the west region rankings. That would give Wheaton a win over a ranked team as well (provided they beat IWU this week and don't fall out of the rankings).

My money is on IWU over Wheaton...I think Wheaton has been over ranked all year. Don't get me wrong as I like Wheaton...I was at the Wheaton/Hope game...and the Wheaton/ North Central game...have been following Wheaton the last 5 years...This team is just not the same calibre as the team from last year...there are many reasons for that probably but for one Rocky has just not been the same ...

IWU will provide a great game for us...
