I've had difficulty signing the petition. Have others?

If I had to guess, I'd guess that they go to Fort Worth for Utah @ TCU.

Wouldn't that be special...nothing gets me fired up more than that stirring rivalry between the Horned Frogs and the Utes!

"Not so fast, my friend."  Does the Putnam County seat offer a vittles emporium to compete with Thurman's or Schmidt's sausage orgy as incentive for the ESPN "hot dogs?" 

I'm sure Marvin's could step up...

Who is traveling from out of state for the game?

[bashbrother]

I am seriously thinking about making the trip from Florida.

#3...anyway you and B could?

If ESPN is listening..... you just may the seal the deal.

Bear, I am flying in from Easton, PA with my family and a friend of my son's.  71 people attending the tailgate I am hosting.  Stop by........what year did you graduate ?

They would get my vote - garlic cheeseburgers for everyone!

Nice...anyone support Nunz in a back up role?

Fripp, I am flying from Denver to Chicago for the annual trip in V.O.L. to the Bell game.

We will also be throwing a tailgate from our R.V. behind Peeler. I will be making the rounds during the weekend, and will try to stop over.

I graduated in 2001 . . . you?

I was just reviewing a list of famous Tigers...... and found the following people that

Graduated from Depauw:

Bill Rasmussen - founder of ESPN
Scott Rasmussen - Co-founder of ESPN and founder of Rasmussen Reports 

They may or may not  have anything to do with it anymore.... but you would think that the someone important would take their call.

Come on...get-er done.

Well, yeah, but last year Utah beat TCU to mess up TCU's chance at the MWC title. So there's a bit of animosity there. However, in no way does it compare to THE game.

Bear, class of 85.  I am unsure where we will park the RV.  Trying to get Page to let the parents park the RVs in the stadium lot.  That is still TBD.  I need a lot of space with 70 plus showing up.  We did like Peeler last time.  I may opt for there regardless.  Feel free to stop by.  I rent the RV in Mooresville.  It will be the one with the big Cruise America billboard on it.  It's a bucket of bolts, but it serves the purpose of having a toilet, keeping people warm, and having someplace to plug things into.  Looking forward to it.  Wes, DPUFan - stop by as well.  Wabash people..........depends.

To his credit, I believe that Bill Rasmussen had a lot to do with getting the Monon Bell game televised on satellite  when the regional broadcast parties were starting.  I suspect that if he still has a voice, he would chime in to support it.

I may do that, Fripp.  I just have to get myself motivated to get up that early.  I've got a few stops that I'd need to make that morning.  I have to work the night before so I could get out of work on Monon.  We'll see how I do.  Have to get up awful early to make the hour plus drive to get down there in enough time to see everybody.
