116th Monon Bell Classic

[BashDad]

What about those years wherein Depauw had already earned a playoff berth, Wes?



(Zing!)

This....

... or the series record (53-53-9, Wabash lead)...

...disqualifies you from taking academic cracks at Wabash.  You'll need to find another angle.

EDIT: As a counterpoint, DePauw's record in Bell games that they lost by more than 21 in the previous year is 3-12.

Wes, thanks for the counterpoint...its that journalistic side of you.

I think these records reflect a broader trend in the history of the Game, that schools tend to win in streaks rather than in a back and forth manner.  

[old wabash]

is any one worried about depew putting their unbeaten playoff record on the line?

[oldtiger]

0-0 more closely resembles a Hooter's billboard then a playoff record.

[BashDad]

One rival dissing the other?! This. Is. Awesome.

Well it's going to be 1-0 here in about 5 days.  That's all I got.

[BashDad]

eh. may necessitate an in-person delivery, that one.

But seriously, aren't you guys tired of yourselves (the school, the program, general and usual ineptitude, Spud Dick) yet?

What?

[BashDad]

Wouldn't you rather root for Wabash?

[Breckenridgebear]

Bashdad . . . NO! I'd rather have my testicles spread wafer thin, and then sort of pasted with honey, and then have wasps unleashed at my own genitals, and then I'd like the resulting stings to be covered in vinegar, and sort of worn as a swimming cap by a Nazi, amongst other things which I can not post.

On another note:

I know that I asked this before, but I was wondering who else is making the trip back for Monon, where they are traveling from, and how many consecutive games everyone has made.

I will be traveling from Denver for my 13th consecutive game.

Now that opening paragraph shows why the Monon Bell out-strips all other rivalries in d3!

[And for the record, I always advised my students that there is no such concept as plagiarizing oneself - choose paper topics that can be adapted to several classes.  I had one paper that with only minor revisions got me A's in six grad classes at UM (including two with the same prof, who shared my views on 'self-plagiarism').]

pla·gia·rism
Pronunciation: \ˈplā-jə-ˌri-zəm also -jē-ə-\
Function: noun
1. the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

You think they would teach that at DaBash Secretarial School.

Well, John Fogerty WAS sued for plagiarizing himself. However, Fantasy Records lost the case. However, however, the suit was allowed to be decided in court, so there is precedent of self-plagiarism.

Funny, that's what I thought about rooting for DPU even for a nano-second. In fact, I would rather have a candiru swim up my urethra than root for DePauw.

Coming from Fort Wayne....for my 25th consecutive Bell game.   

I would have to be dead...or unconscious & on life support to miss this game.
