are we really arguing about who has better uniforms?? who cares?!?! if you want to show up in those hideous candy-stripes and beanies, be my guest...some caveboy will find it cute, i'm sure.

on the field....uniforms have NO impact on the damn game....

Mr. Irish,

I suppose you aren't in tune with the great Uni Watch blog and articles on Page 2 of ESPN. Sartorial eloquence is important in sports. Most importantly, you don't wanna look like damn clowns out there (like Oregon does most of the time, or Maryland this year).

I suppose you like those God-awful pajama pants they wear in baseball, and not the stirrups and socks that right and true and just baseball players wear.

You are right that it shouldn't matter between the lines. But I wonder if it gets into someone's psyche that they look like something a 3rd grader draws on the cover of his Trapper Keeper.

No, but your entire program is neither proud, nor ambitious (like your logo[?]), and that "Bears" on the kind of players you can attract. Which is already somewhat of a riddle because you guys are getting drubbed all the time.

smed....yeah...agreed, don't want to look like clowns...quite honestly, don't think either team does out there. you bash our "paw", what the hell is a "little giant" anyway?? oxymoron and pretty hysterical. who fears a little giant?!?! would've been better off sticking with the caveboyyzzz

and, how many Bells did you win debashdad??? did you even attend debash?? not sure I ever remember getting pounded...never happened actually.

some of your brethren at least make a point or two every now and then. Yours are based on ignorance and pure stupidity.

I appreciate the proof. Touche on a point being made there.

1 less Bell than we won...but not many win 3...much less, 4

Has anyone heard who will be calling the game this year for HDNet?

The 2011 HDNet broadcast team for the Monon Bell Classic will return play-by-play announcer Kenny Rice and veteran analyst and former NFL player Paul Maguire to the booth, with Brad Wochomurka, a 2004 DePauw University graduate and former Tiger football player, providing updates from the sidelines.

Interesting to see how DPU and Wabash competed against common opponents this season. This has obviously been a very, very difficult season for the Tigers, but they seemed to compete against the two NCAC teams on their schedule:

OWU
DPU, with a freshman QB starting his first game, won by 24 on the road.
Wabash won by 21 at home.

Allegheny
DPU went up by 10 before falling 17-10 on the road.
Wabash is pushed to the limit before escaping with a 6 point win on the road.

Doesn't mean anything...but as the Tigers wait for their certain demise, perhaps by 100 points, to the incredible, insanely talented Little Giants, I thought I would pass along.

I knew that was coming.... keep grasping at anything ..... poor Dannies....... you have to be pumped with confidence after barely beating an 0-6 Austin...... Just get ready to leave early on 11/12.

Grasping? Just passing along something that was surprising to me given the Tigers obvious struggles this year. As I said, it doesn't mean anything. And if you knew the post was coming, it must have caught your attention, too.

The numbers do not lie.

bashbrother · October 31, 2011, 02:41:56 PM

I will admit, on face value, the numbers are closer than one would think... that is if one gives too much weight to h to h common opponent results.

I wish the Bell was Saturday, I am actually tired of talking about it. As I mentioned in a previous post, one can hope, but not expect another blowout, history tells us, it just doesn't play out that way.
