Bear, great reading..........add bloggers to the Bash line of Secretarial work.

BashDad

You're on a D3 football message board, for chrissakes. What a stupid joke.

Sturdybeggar

Ah man, this is all great reading. I have to say, though, I'd rather be an honest secretary (executive assistant, thank you very much) than a plagiarizing Danny (even self-plagiarizing, which is perhaps the worst sort.) C'mon...creativity two years in a row too much for you, Bear?). As they say: cheaters never prosper.

The color is scarlet, by the way.

Wow, and it's only Monday....

How many times have you all listened to the Ballad today?

I'm going on 5.

Is it Saturday yet?  Can't wait to get out of this stupid nice Florida weather and back to some cold, possibly rainy Monon weather! Football season in Tampa is weird!

You think they would teach that at DaBash Secretarial School.

I guess one could also think that a depauw education would make it clear that using dictionary definitions to illustrate a point becomes slightly less appropriate after 9th grade...

No, it is appropriate when half the audience received degrees from Dabash A&M.

A&M?  Really?  Has Wabash ever conferred a degree that comes even close to "agricultural" or "mechanical"?  You can do better than this, DB.  Or maybe you can't.  DB.

Here's today's Monon fun fact for you: 

A team has won this game by 21 points or more 10 times since 1950.  8 of those teams went on to win the next year.  DePauw beat Wabash in both of those outliers (1983 & 1955).  In fact, Wabash is just 2-7-1 in games immediately following a loss by 21 or more in the entire history of the rivalry, including 0 for their last 4.  The Cavemen won in 1944 after losing 33-0 in 1943 and they also won in 1903 after DePauw won twice to the tune of 33-5 and 31-2 in 1901.  There was no game in 1902. 

I make the point, obviously, because of the 22 point victory last season.

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

Come on Danny Boy, a Agricultural or Mechanical degree would be step up in any type of education one would obtain at DaBash Secretarial School.
