118th Monon Bell Classic

[BashBacker#16]

Why do all the Dannies (coaches, players, students, all 8 fans) call the game "the Monon?"  Bugs me.  I've always wondered that through the years.

A couple of serious comments... I cannot remember a year where I honestly could not name more than 5 DPU players (and I think at least 2 of them have been hurt - Ellis and Schweir).  It's just weird.  Can one of the Dannies provide a preview so we know what to watch on Saturday?  Do you have any receivers that are any good...you typically have a couple of really good players.  Which one of the 18 quarterbacks will we see this Saturday? 

The Red Squad won this year's game against DePauw 55-13.  I heard that the DPU guys were not even playing hard - what gives?  I'm not saying that game has any factor on the big one this Saturday but it has to make you wonder - what gives, seriously 55-13.  ??

Will Robby Long be at the Stag this Thursday?
Will Breckinridge be at the Stag this Thursday?  I don't get how you can justify so much "garbage" at Wabash when your coming off a 47 zip beat down.  What gives?

I, for one, am glad I will be wearing red & white this weekend.  WAF

Hilarious.....  I guess this show got cut..... These are the type of women Depauw is turning out these days....?

Check please.....I'll just head North to Purdue....

So this video is the new Dannie O-line?  Sad DPU lost the 2007 recruits who'd have been true anchors prior to the DZ debacle.

4) Hearsay.

5) Hearsay.

6) Don't know.

7) No.

There is not enough time to list all that I hate about dabash, and I can not think of one little thing I envy about Debash.

False.

Do you have any receivers that are any good...you typically have a couple of really good players. 

IMO, Wagner and Coburn are the receiveing weapons to watch, but Wagner is dealing with an ankle injury and Coburn seemed more effective with Seaman at the helm.  Freshman WR DJ Steward also showed flashes while Seaman was QB but no idea whether he'll be much of a factor this weekend.  The QB carousel is interesting (<-- optimistic word).  King strikes me more as of a "game manager" type than Seaman but he's only started one game so who the hell knows?  I can see Coach Long starting with King and the putting in Seaman if DPU falls behind by more than 2 TDs (but by then it could be too late).  Of course, Seaman took a hard hit against Austin which might be the reason he sat against Albion.  Maybe he'll start for Monon.

Jealousy?  If any normal person wanted a male-centric educational experience peppered with communal hazing and group thought, they would join the military and keep their dignity.

I wonder if the current military will hurt recruiting.

We all just air raided in unison to show how incredibly wrong your statement is.

We hear it's easy for you to act in unison at your C'ville bathhouse.

And how is that statement incorrect?  Do you not believe our armed servicmen have dignity?

I was saying you were wrong in your claim that Wabash is "a male-centric educational experience peppered with communal hazing and group thought".  Jocular statement, kiddos.

Regarding the servicemen (and servicewomen), I believe that is a Wally holding an American flag (notably lacking any black and/or gold) in the picture of last year's scoreboard posted above.  USA USA USA

i respect our men and women of the military.  doesn't mean i have to respect the picture....it's ugly.
