119th Monon Bell Classic

This is pretty awesome! 

1979 piece on the Monon Bell game from the TV show "Sunday Morning"

Remember when both sides could walk on the other side???  I've said it before but several times we had to change ends of the field for the extra point when fights in the crowd would spill over on to the field.

That is awesome.

About to leave to travel to Crawfordstucky. Safe travels all, see you at V.O.L. Wabash still sucks.

Was very awesome.

Love that DePauw changed jerseys at the half....great find.

See you in a few hours Breck....

as for those going to the Stagg tonight -- fill us in on the sights and sounds

Glad you guys enjoyed the piece -- I taped it while home for Tgiving break sophomore year.  Glad I was able to transfer it when I did... it's an old Beta tape, now unplayable.  It's a bonus clip on the 2008 Monon set, which also contains all Memories (1890-2008)...

Great Stag last night.  We all wish more DePauw alums, even a few students (there are always some Wabash students attending), would show up for the fun and games.  Wabash had the numbers by about 4/1.  Congratulations to Alan Hill and Frank Kolisek on taking home the Spirit of the Monon Bell helmets.  Alan is a more than worthy representative of DePauw.  His introduction was by DJ, Daryl Johnson, outstanding Little Giant running back from Alan's era.  In addition to his football excellence, Alan was the NCAA champion in the pole vault.  Alan has spent his adult life working with young people, mostly in college and universities.  Kolisek, known to many Wabash people as "fat Frank," is an outstanding surgeon, who still holds the Wabash record for consecutive extra points made.  A DePauw colleague at OrthoIndy introduced him.
      Two entertaining roasters.  The best DPU roaster in years; some terrific zingers, accompanied by an effective slide show.  Jake Knott for Wabash; he repeated his strong performance from a couple of years ago, and also used clever slides.   A tape of this event should be required viewing for all DePauw and Wabash students.
  Pat White in attendance; Brian Casey not.  President Casey had business on campus with DPU's "Board of Trustees."  Sorry, DePauw uses a different name; can't remember it. Page Cotton nicely filled in for him.  But it wasn't the amusing back and forth that White and Casey have produced for several years. The usual man food and speculation about the game.  Most seem to think it will be closer than recently.  I agree.
      That's a brief synopsis, as requested.

Time for the pre-game slumber.  I hope everybody traveling to the game has a good and safe time on campus tomorrow.  I hope everybody at telecast parties around the nation have a good time celebrating the rivalry in glorious hi-definition. 

Our game is awesome, guys.  It's the best event in Division III hands down.  Final score be damned, relish in the greatness of this game tomorrow.  And next year, bring your friends back (all of us) to watch it live and in person. 

Enjoy the day, fellas.  Wabash Always Fights!

Game day reminder --

Both teams have tickets remaining for the 119th battle for the Bell. We've decided to open ticket booths on both sides of the field Saturday morning.

Ticket booths will open at 11 a.m. on both sides of the field. A limited number of tickets will be available at $15. When they're gone, they're gone. If tickets still remain, the boo
ths will close when the game kicks off, which is set for 1:07.

Please, tell your friends... bring some people who need to see what a great rivalry this is... the forecast looks terrific and we all know that lots of things -- in fact, anything -- can happen at a Monon Bell game.

Go Wabash!  Beat DePauw!

[Ron Boerger]

Here's to a great game by both teams in one of the best rivalries in all of college football.

It's time...

And that's a wrap. Your score after 12 quarters of play, 115-7.
