Hooray America? I don't get it.

[smedindy]

You sure that's not JOE Estevez as your icon, there, Bear?

[Schwami]

Hooray America? I don't get it.

I'll try to help you out here:

The Bell remains in its rightful place, and truth and justice reign in this great land.

And yes, what is it with that icon??

[BashDad]

Wally FTW. Amazing.

No, that is Emilio.  Just noticed your sheep, that is appropriate

Truth and justice are the last thing I think of when Dabash comes up.

agreed, Bear.  'Merica

[Breckenridgebear]

I do have a serious question, why doesn't the dabash school of ink cartridge repair have a sister school? Has there ever been a sister school?

[BashDad]

Yeah. Its name is Depauw.

Yeah. Its name is Depauw.

debashdad

just because your sister made a better choice and went to depauw, doesn't make it your sister school

[Breckenridgebear]

Yeah. Its name is Depauw.

Dabashdad, you are worthless.

Everytime anyone tries to talk about anything on this board you immediately have some stupid caveboy remark. When anyone says anything that rubs you wrong, you cry about the "same schtick" and fall behind your blatant lack of originality. I guess you can take the boy out of the cave, but you can never expect him to grow up.

I can't wait for the next week and a half.

We don't need no sister schools.

Wabash = Ron Swanson
DPU = Andy Bernard


(David Spade? Bear, the 90's called and the don't even show reruns of Just Shoot Me anymore!  )

Bear:

In answer to your question, Wabash has never had a "sister" school.  Based on what I have learned over the years, only a minority of all-male schools did not have a sister school, primarily dependent upon their location vis a vis population centers.  For instance, Dartmouth was the only all-male Ivy not to have a sister school in close proximity due to its rural location.  Mount Holyoke is their traditional "sister" school only because it was the closest of the Seven Sisters.  At times over the many years, Wabash fraternities established a variety of formal and informal relationships with sororities from various schools to offset the lack of a sister school. 

However, in my family DePauw is represented by an aunt, a sister and a wife, all outstanding graduates of our sister school.

Thank you Dabash Hokie.

You think with Dabash's small size, and the number of smaller Colleges throughout Indiana that a "sister" school would have come along over the years.

Let me try, as a newby to the Board, only several posts over a long period.   But I know the recent recruiting battle close up.  Trust me.  One side probably will, the other won't.  Both schools are fine academic institutions, despite the comments of some.  Reference the usual national publications.  Both have recent success athetically, and not just in football.  Walker's seniors graduated last year.  The 2010 Bell Game was a strange game.  Who would have figured? In those cases where the schools have gone head to head on a recruit Wabash has more often that not gotten the upper hand.  Not always, but often enough to make a difference.  I once heard a coach say:  "It's not the X's and the O's, it's the Jimmys and the Joes."  Right now, Wabash has more athletes.  Does that mean that the Bell Game is a lock; certainly not, with DePauw playing for redemption.  But overall the recent battle for athletes goes to Wabash, and especially in Indiana.
