It's not just the wit of your insults that impress me. It's also the ambition.

I stand in awe, friend. Golf clap.

Thanks dabashdad. I do it all for you.

I think it's possible Wabash gets held to 14 or less. I think 5 years ago or so I did the math in the last 20 years and DePauw typically held Wabash to like 12.5 points fewer than their season average. I'm on my phone so I can't really do that again. Also, that wouldn't include 47 last year, but it wouldn't include 2008, either. That was also 2 DePauw head coaches ago.

Like I said, I don't think there are trends here. Every year is it's own entity. See 2000 to 2001 and then on to 2002. Or any consecutive games between 2006-2010. They're all different. Wabash by a FG, DePauw on the FG, DePauw blowout, Wabash by 2 scores, then a Wabash blowout. 47-0 doesn't affect 2011. The only thing that affects 2011 is that DePauw is a .500 team on a marginal at best schedule.

While I respect your optimism,  I think the chances of Wabash being held to 14 points about the same as any Depauw posters, other than you and DPU, showing up on this board next Monday......

Look at that guy. Look at that dude's family. Upon first learning to speak, the members of the Gum family pledge a blood-oath to be bad-ass. CJ Gum is a bad ass.

And I'm sure you have drawn hearts around his name on your trapper keeper.  Don't show me pics of your in-laws, and I won't show you mine.

But I see your point.  Held my breath that our offense would start to kick by now but it's still flat.  I really expected Seaman to play last weekend in hopes of a final "development" game but it wasn't so.  No clue at this point whether Seaman or King will start but either way we'll need the D to hand us a short field.  Tho, in King's favor, I don't believe he committed any turnovers on Saturday.  Not turning the ball over would be a good place for our offense to start. 

Solid D, get some takeaways, pray for a short field, alert Jesus the sinners are in town, and we just might win.  Hell, the score could be 15-14 as we cruise to victory with 5 FGs.  I'd take that.

Ken, I know you're trolling around here somewhere.  Thanks again for all your work in cataloging the rivalry.  The Monon Memories archive is amazing work.

Thanks, Danny -- it means a lot!

Conversing with wallies after Monon is considered bad form until the following season.  That, and I feel like I'm getting to know some of you, which is gross.
