   Classless band member hooligans stealing the opposing teams stuff??  Hmmmm....that must be one tough frickin' band!

[BashBacker#16]

Wally you hit the nail on the head, if the Bash D can slow Murray, it will be huge.  You have to think the Bash O will roll - still not sure the D-coordinator (nor Fincham) have gotten much sleep this week planning for the Bash passing attack.  I really think the Witt D-backs are in for a whale of a challenge - especially given their size and production this season.  Russell is emerging like the All American we thought he was, Walker is lights out and should continue, and the rest of the bunch will create mismatches.  If they choose to drop 8, King and the RBs should rip.

Again, it comes back to the Bash D.  If they can continue the turnover trend...it may be a long day for the Tigers.

Go Bash!

P.S.  Totally unrelated:  How about Sampsen and the Hoosiers landing the #1 player in the country, in North Central's Eric Gordon...a huge win for IU.

FS4 - remember #4's pick at Witt in '02, how big was that?  How about Boulais' stop on Cornette in OT?  How about Knott to Summers for 85 and a touch?  How about Blair Hammer's playoff performance in the 4th?  How about Lafitte's day vs. Witt at Bash in '03 as a Frosh (man I wish he could come back)?  How about Bronaugh's catch from Knott in the playoffs in '02?  Lots of great plays in these games...

The keys for the Bash/Witt game are:

For Wabash:

Stop the run for 4 qtrs.   Limit Witt to under 3.5/carry.
Make them pass
Field Position
Limit big plays
Special Teams
Offense, play like you've been playing.


For Witt:

Stay out of 3rd and long situations
Control the clock with the running game
Keep the Wabash passing game in front of you
Limit the yards after catch
Win the turnover battle
Protect your QB from #40 and crew

I just got chills reliving some of those moments.  #4's pick in the '02 game turned that whole thing around...we were on our way to getting blasted away early in that game.  Knott to Summers...great check, great pass, great catch and run.  That's the longest play from scrimmage in Wabash history I believe.  Knott's TD to Bronaugh in the playoff game was maybe the best pass I've ever seen.  I don't know how in the world anybody could make that throw, into that window, against that wind...on 4th and 15.  CLUTCH.  Unbelievable play.

As has been said here and in press releases this week...this game brings out the best these teams have.  I don't expect tomorrow to be any different.

WOW!!!  Crying about the other team is worth a crying towel but crying about the other teams band, well maybe thats worth a tissue!!!!!

[woosterbooster]

Geeze, you're accusing the Wooster band members of thievery?  From Wittenberg people?  Believe me, there isn't anything that anyone from Wittenberg has that anyone from Wooster would want.  You call their band classless?  What a classless post you made.

[lancer98]

Where is Lafitte now?  Is he still at ASU?

let's just say they did steal a bottle of beer or a sandwich...where would they hide it

As a hs Sousaphone player, I can tell you they can conceal A LOT (though it does kind of mess up the sound)!

[scotty]

gotcha...i was more concerned with "beneath the kilts"...

I know a lot of alcohol was smuggled into Little Giant Stadium in the Pep Band's Sousaphone when I was a student.  . And I didn't even play in the band.

[Mr. Ypsi]

And just imagine what you could smuggle with a 'modified' bass drum!!

A friend of mine told me a story about some guys who, for years, carried a big heavy wooden doghouse into Browns's Stadium for every game.  Somehow, they'd convinced the ushers and security to let them do it.  They always wanted to carry it themselves, telling the staff that they needed no help.  It was placed right in front of the stands, by the dog pound, on the field.

After a few seasons, some alert usher noticed that it always took about four or five guys to carry it in but that only two guys were needed to carry it out at the end of the game, even going UP the steps.  He took a closer look, and of course found a keg inside.  Said keg, of course, was full at entry and vacant of suds upon departure, hence the weight differential.  They somehow, undetected, had run a hose from the keg into the first row of stands and drained a keg at every game.  Ingenuity, that's what makes America great.

We need a bigger sousaphone.  Rally the troops...let's get the donation train rolling on this.  We can make this happen.
