121st Monon Bell Classic

[Breckenridgebear]

Oh, Bear.

If you only watched the Witt game, you'd know...

21-15 > 34-17 BTW.

Depauw just got destroyed by Witt in passing yards, rushing yards, etc . . .  And those 7 turnovers didn't make any difference in the outcome.

Despite the score, I believe that Depauw played Witt fairly well.

Go ahead, hit me with another homophobic slur...I've heard them all!!

No doubt you have, Tinkerbell.

As reported by The Bachelor

A rather self-serving source, wouldn't you agree?  I suppose "self-service" is the norm for many Wallys whom fear acting on their urges would make Liberace blush.

Happy Monon Week (to two of you)!!!  Jeez, it smells like sex in here.  Bear, I hope your o-ring is holding up after 2 months with these starved deviants.  Did Coach Nick steal signals?  Doubt it.  Do I really give a ****?  Nope.  As Wally indicated, even if this contemptful allegation is true, Gash failed to adjust.  I believe even Wallies are familiar with Einstein's definition of insanity.

Full disclosure: it's been a tough start to the decade for Depauw fans.  I never thought I'd see 5 consecutive Bells lost to Gash in my lifetime.  Perhaps it's simple karma collecting on the 4 Bells I thoroughly enjoyed (during DPU's last streak of 5).  Thouroughly.  Enjoyed.  Perhaps it's payback for activating so many Wally dental plans.  Either way, I earned my "I Survived Robby Long" t-shirt and my Lynch Mob shrine is almost complete.  That lump you feel down below is not a penis and no, it's not in your anus.  That lump is simply nerves.  We all see the storm swirling on the horizon.  The brutal, unforgiving ****storm that is a team of angry Tigers is coming to a tiny stadium near you -- just not sure if it hits this year or next.  Apparently our recruiting is much improved, and with our facilities not even Michael Sam would choose Wally World.  But nobody want's to hear about the future; we're all more interested in the now.

For now I'll say 20-28 in favor of Wabash.  That's what my gut says.  My heart says 55-14 DPU but the Tiger's air attack is too thin for such a score to be realistic.  I can stomach a loss (we've all had to deal with that) but the tought of consecutive Bell #6 to Gash makes me nauseous.  History has taught me to stay optimistic; we all remember 2001:  the ghost of Harvey Milk sprang from Knott's limp wrist and carried the ball 52 yards through the air for a Wally TD as time expired.  That miracle prevented Depauw from claiming its straight 6.  We have all witnessed strange phenomena in this clash and it's nice to know Tiger fans don't have to "hope" as much as we have recently.  Our program is almost tuned for payback.

It was great meeting some of the Gashies back in 2012.  That encounter inspired me to open two new corporations and sales for voodoo dolls and urinal cakes continue to rise.  Should your beverages require any antifreeze, please stop by our tailgate.  Bear and I can explain reproductive science and even help with your Container Store applications. Ding motherf***in dong.

I can always tell it is Monon Bell Week when Danny Boy shows up to the party.

Here is some more Bell Week motivation:

Happy Monon......

I went back and read the 5 pages (of mostly crap) spewed back and forth....the whining and crying about a game you Caveboyzz haven't gotten over 16 years ago, the fact that handshakes didn't happen...something I didn't mind....the rivalry used to have a hint of disgust and hatred....but it's 2014, and PC is the way to be.

I watched much of the 'Bash/Witt game last week....was a good game....dominated at the LOS by 'Bash, but costly turnover that led to a defensive TD.  Honestly, Wabash's defense (as usual) is what's to worry about.  You get to the QB...but speaking of your QB play...there's something more to be desired there.....

I'm looking forward to a better game....we all are.  We've said as much the last 5 years on these very boards.  But honestly, there's nothing more I'd enjoy than a 35-7 win...DPU is trending up....Lynch has done it quicker than I thought he would.  He's a perfect coach for that University.  As for the facilities, Bear is right....tough to argue Crawfordsville is a better spot these days.

Good to hear from you DPUIrish1. I can't wait to see you this weekend.

I have been wearing this all week:



Those were good times.

Speaking of good times at the North Eastern School of Sewer Repair and Sanitation Sciences in Crawfordsdingle, remember this one:

How great would it be to see that again? 

And of course I can't wait to see this guy again:



Happy Monon!!!!

Here is the link to the parking information from Wabash's website.  I thought that the DePauw fans were going to be directed to site of the former Lew Wallace Inn as it is a larger parking area.  However, the Fine Arts lot is saved for them. 


http://www.wabash.edu/news/displaystory.cfm?news_ID=10406



DePauw fans - I would suggest parking at "the Lew", or where the Lew used to be - 309 W Pike.  There is more space and while it is across campus, it is still a hell of a lot closer to the field than Wabash's designated parking area in Dannieland.

Well, almost. He took Game 120 off.

Believe we had to walk in from Fincastle.  What a joke.

Pat,

Danny Boy may have taken off from posting on the boards for "Game 120", but he was in full fighting form at the game last year.

[Danny Boy]

Well, almost. He took Game 120 off.

Wow, Pat's right.  Would have wagered I was on here last year but apparently not.  Oh well, many years ahead to compensate for that omission.  Or I could just hop in my DeLorean  ... "Hey Gash, eat a bowl of d**cks!  38-21?  Can I borrow your Gash degree?  Garbage now fuels the flux capacitor and I gotta get back to 2014 and celebrate.  Put your money on the Broncos, guzzlers!"

Ahh....seething bitterness and frustration from Dannie Boy. 

It's gonna be ok Dannie, just put on your favorite comfy turtleneck and slacks...and have Muffy bring you a Prozac and a warm half- caff-mocha-latte- machiato-chai...

At least Muffy is better than Stan. And isn't it a Zima instead of the HCLMC? You boyzzz are slippin . . .

Let me count myself as one who is a little concerned about Saturday.  I was in Springfield last week, and I'm worried the Wabash Offense has become too one-dimensional.  Holmes and Zurek are both workhouses in the ground game but Wabash is not as strong as in year's pass through the air. 

However, the Wabash Defense remains stellar.  Will the Dannies be able to put up enough points to make it a game despite a sluggish, at times, Wabash Offense?

DePauw won most of the games they should and lost one they should have lost.  The gap does appear to be closing.  Matt Hunt is a very good quarterback. 

Partly cloudy and 39 is the forecast for Saturday.  Need to double-up on the Fireball to stay warm.  I love this rivalry.  I love this game.  Excited to see what happens on Saturday.  Gut tells me Bash squeaks out a close one, I'm going WAF 20  DNQ 17.  Ding ding.
