‘So you think your rivalry is serious?’

A college sports Web site called The Palestra features a story on our valiant young men defending our Bell from the evil Danny hoarde. Check it out:

Because Wabash isn’t (yet) listed as an official site, you have to maneuver a little to find the story:

  1. Mouse over the logo, and move the line to about 9:00. (At least that’s where it was when I found it.)
  2. The title of the bit is called, “So you think your rivalry is serious?”
  3. Just click on it and the video starts playing.

The segment was reported by Mary Rachel Dick, who is the sister of DPU QB Spud Dick (yes, that’s his name).

If you’re like me, the Monon Bell game fills me with a nervous sense of excitement. I’m looking forward to the game, and I hope to see you and your families at the game.

DePauw to Hell, We’ll Keep the Bell!

Ring Dat Bell!

We’re exactly one month away from the 113th pairing of DePauw and Wabash in the annual Monon Bell Classic. That means just one thing:

The Official Class of ’91 Monon Bell ReunionTailgate
November 11, 2006
In the parking lot somewhere behind Hollett Little Giant Stadium

Yes, Mark Kosior, the tailgate is most definitely on for this year, and the Class of ’91 will no doubt be out in force. We’re looking for an official Tailgate Chairman. Any volunteers?

If you’re planning on coming to the game, drop me a line so that we can coordinate who’s bringing what.

While we’re at it, Wabash AD Vernon Mummert will be installing even more stands for this year’s game (picture between 12,000 to 13,500 attendance). Even so, tickets are on sale now and will go fast. Click here for details on how to get yours. Ticket prices has risen to $15. If you have a W pass, you’ll still have to reserve your ticket.

If you can’t make the game, it will be covered on HDNet. Here’s the list of Telecast Parties.
