116th Monon Bell Classic

[wally_wabash]

Here's a bunch of great info highlighting the dead even nature of this great rivalry.  As a disclaimer, I didn't dig all of this up...this was passed along from a good friend but is too good to not share with everybody.  So...here we go. 

- We know that the series is tied going into the 116th meeting (53-53-9).  The series was also tied going into 106th game (48-48-9), the 86th game (39-39-7), and the 76th game (34-34-7).  The 96th game?  Wabash led going into the 96th game 44-43-8.

- Looking back at the groups of 10 years over the last 40 years of the rivalry, here are the records:
1969-1978 - Wabash 5, DePauw 5
1979-1989 - Wabash 5, DePauw 4, 1 Tie
1989-1998 - Wabash 4, DePauw 5, 1 Tie
1999-2008 - Wabash 5, DePauw 5
The total: 19-19-2. 

- Home field advantage?  Nope.  Here's the 40 year breakdown of the home team's record:
1969-1978 - 6-4
1979-1989 - 6-3-1
1989-1998 - 3-6-1
1999-2008 - 4-6
The total: 19-19-2. 

- Total points...also very even:
1969-1978 - Wabash 152, DePauw 125
1979-1989 - Wabash 211, DePauw 192
1989-1998 - Wabash 169, DePauw 235
1999-2008 - Wabash 205, DePauw 204
The total:  Wabash 737, DePauw 756
40 games, separated by 19 points (less than half a point per game).

Right DagoBash, that is why you boyzz yell "DePauw Swallows".

Out of deference to our cravat-festooned opponents, in public, even cavemen realize "it's not polite to spit."    'Bear.

I see your CCC logic is further clouded by short-term memory loss.  How old are you grandpa, 85?

BTW, "Bash" should probably replace that horrendous red W with CCC for your helmets. 

Ah, Danny me boy - casting stones at the aged... Tsk. Tsk. Pre-pubescent moisture glistens behind those aural appendages.  A block letter is a bit further up the evolutionary ladder than an ink-blotted paw print.  It happens when copying the public school crowd at Clemson, though by admission your colors are better than blaze orange  .  Given Wabash's rating by the greenies recently, I doubt you'll see any "CCC," even if the prez was FDR instead of White.

Dacave2bens,

I have no idea what your last post was about, but I do think that it is inappropriate for anyone to be talking about "Pre-pubescent moisture", especially a caveboy from an all boy secretarial college. Just wrong Dabash!

Who is attending the Monon Stag tomorrow night? 

[BashBacker#16]

Wally,

Here is some info on tonight's Stag:

- DPU's President will be attending (very cool actually) for the first time in many, many years.  I do not believe that Bottoms ever attended.
- We have basically sold this event out given the size room - it will be packed.  Last count, 147 Wabash guys, 90 Dannies
- The menu has been changed (no more whimpy wedding food) - it's Wings, Nachos, etc. - like it should be
- This year's roasters will be classic.  Spud's Dad, Gerry Dick vs. Wabash Hall of Fame QB, Jake Knott.  I am betting they will both be "lights out" good.

Wabash Always Fights!

[wally_wabash]

That's a considerable bump in attendance, particularly from the DPU side.  Glad to see that they've been able to promote the event more and get more people out.  Sounds like the event is getting closer to what it was "back in the day" that so many of the guys who have been attending the Stag for many, many years have told me.  Looking forward to the show tonight!

The ammount of work Wags puts in and the product produced is awsome.  Here's to a great game tomorrow and to DePauw not letting up since they have a game next week for the first time.

Bear,

A work thing messed up travel plans, have some barley soda and brisket for me!

[gil68]

got ahead of myself
a great game on Saturday

I see your CCC logic is further clouded by short-term memory loss.  How old are you grandpa, 85?  I believe today's homo theories began with your link.  Pot, meet kettle.

BTW, "Bash" should probably replace that horrendous red W with CCC for your helmets.  After all, you guys may as well start planning for next season on Monday morning.

Homo theories?  I simply posted that link to warn BB16 that Bears are often protective of their mates.  Grrr.  Woof.  I had assumed that Breck was comfortable with his lifestyle if he was willing to create a screen name with "bear" right there in it.

It was not remotely intended as an insult, but it seems rather telling that you took it as one.

[gobash]

Right DagoBash, that is why you boyzz yell "DePauw Swallows".

P.S. I added Da just for you.

"DePauw Swallows" is immature and lacks proper historical context for how long your school's existence has been a blight on this state and nation.  I prefer slogans that encompass a broader perspective to account for the length and breadth of your inferiority.

Thus, "Indiana Asbury Swallows"



P.S.  I'm winking at you.

Don't bother winking at me, I didn't go to Wabash.

"Blight on this state and nation"?  Okay.  Let me know when your second-rate, embarassment of a boy's school cracks the top tier.

Love a good historical joke.  +1 for that.
