Wow. If you’re a DePauw fan, it’s a damn good thing that these games aren’t played on paper.
Thanks, Tom. For me, I want to see how strength of schedule comes into play in Saturday’s game. Wabash has played one of the weakest schedules in recent memory. U. of Chicago, Kenyon, Oberlin, and Hiram are not exactly strong programs…and I’m being polite. It’s nothing against the mettle of our Little Giants, but 7-2 DePauw will be a much stronger opponent than we’ve seen in weeks.
Wabash headed to the playoffs and undefeated. DePauw playing their last game of the season with nothing to lose but the Monon Bell.
We’ve heard this one before. And one thing’s for sure.
WABASH ALWAYS FIGHTS!
