Can you hear it?

And yes, I still hate DaBash.

Reality is that it very well could be a 10-0 or 9-1 Wabash Squad Vs.  a 4-5 or 5-4  Depauw Team.   But I still don't expect a repeat of last year's score.  Scores like that are so rare in this series,  I just don't see it happening in back to back years. 

Plus, with the conference limbo dynamic and the fact that the team is struggling a bit this year with youth and experience,  I bet every individual related to this team considers this year's Bell Game..... even bigger for the program.

   
Why should you go for it on 4th down?

V.O.L. is rented. Can't wait for the men of Depauw to beat down the boyzz of DaBash!

That's going to be a long flight back all hung over and depressed.

Not looking good for the Tigers this year, but at least it's at Depauw so nobody has to waste precious hours of life in c-VILE.  As with any rivalry, the unexpected is always possible so I'll be thankful the 2-6 Tigers have the "possibility" of beating the 9-0 cavemen.  DPU's craptastic record will make the Bell beer twice as delicious if we win.  That's all the optimism I can muster for now.  Oh, and of course I'm also thankful I never attended dabash.

MY $$$ is on dabash and IF we do win I'll be more than happy to pay out just to touch that Bell again.  Been way too long.  Nice to see some of the usual suspects trolling this board.  Let the "friendly disagreements" begin!

Danny Boy has a good point. With this rivalry, anything can happen. Hopefully the Caveboyzz are looking past Depauw and get blindsided in Greencastle.  This is always the game where records don't matter. 

I do have to say that I will never put any money on Dabash. I do not believe in anything that backwater college stands for or represents, and would not support it in any way.

You know who says that the records don't matter in a game like this?  Fans of the team with a terrible record.  These are facts. 

Seriously, how do you guys go from a 9-0 playoff team to whatever it is that you call "football" down there this year?  How does that happen? 

You let me know how you plan to make up 47 points with that club team you've pieced together this year.  Take your time.  You've still got four weeks to create an answer.

Just received the email notification for tickets to the DePauw game.

Below is a snippet regarding the number of tickets allotted to Wabash and the reasoning behind it.  I don't want to rehash the debate regarding the necessity and logic of the policy.  Just wondering about the ratio of tickets issued to the visiting school.  Does Wabash allocate a similar percentage of tickets to DePauw or does the difference in venue capacity render the question moot?

"When Wabash's allotment of 2,800 tickets is gone, there will be no further ticket sales. Both schools have agreed each year on ticket distribution based on stadium capacity, security, and the desire for all fans to have a seat. Creating a safe, fun environment for players and fans alike has been the joint goal of both Wabash and DePauw."


Danny Boy

Silly wally, it's certainly possible for Depauw to "make up 47 points."  A miracle, for example.  Yes, miracles do happen; just ask any of your own kind that has actually been with a woman.  Or perhaps your caveboys will be distracted by the sidelines -- we have real cheerleaders, not dudes in candy-striped overalls (sorry, that jinx club is so lame I couldn't resist stating the obvious).  Maybe all we need is Coach Nick to scream "yougottawanna" for old time's sake.

In a way, this is the least I've been concerned about a Bell game in years.  Since dabash will be heavily favored, there is no sense in worrying about a loss; instead I'll just anticipate a loss and be euphoric with a win.  I'm sure the concept of low expectations is something all wallies can relate to.  As a Depauw alum, it's not fun to psychologically prepare for a loss but at least I don't share your concerns about the bank foreclosing on the farm.

When exactly did you guys competely bail out on your team for 2011?  Was it after Allegheny or Rhodes?  Or was it sometime in the 3rd quarter of last year's game?  I'm just curious when it dawned on you all collectively that Wabash is going to own you for, at a bare minimum, 2011 and probably well beyond that.  Dig deep and let me know.

I'm not sure "bail out" is the appropriate phrase.  Our usual crew will be back this year to support our players and belittle yours like always.  "Lose hope" is probably the term you're reaching for.  It's the same feeling lil' giants have when they leave job interviews.  I think the sense of doom solidified after the loss at Rhodes, though the seed was first planted when Walker "resigned" (but that's another story).  If the tables were turned (and maybe they will be next year) and you thought wally-world would win, I'd consider you delusional.  As it is, I only consider you misguided.
