Don't be morons, people. Vandalisms to this page only come off as being utterly stupid, immature, and only paint your school in a negative light. Act as if you're a college student, not a damn junior high kiddo about to go through puberty. RPH 20:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Year-by-year results

The year-by-year results listed DePauw as winning all the non-ties. I don't know if this was vandalism or someone incorrectly creating the table. Regardless, I removed the table since it was very incorrect (e.g., needed more than a minor edit). If someone wants to revive and correct the table, that should be no problem, but until then I think the wrong table should be removed. RonSigPi (talk) 06:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update: A new year-by-year results section has been added (Fulmerg (talk) 18:15, 14 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Not oldest rivalry

DePauw's own athletic website refutes the claim of "oldest rivalry east of the appalachians":
Monon Facts
"The DePauw-Wabash rivalry was touted for years as the oldest continuous rivalry west of the Alleghenies, but in fact it is not. The oldest rivalry west of the eastern U.S. mountain range is the University of Cincinnati-Miami (O.) University series which began in 1888. The oldest uninterrupted series west of the Alleghenies is between Kansas and Nebraska which have met without fail since 1906. The DePauw-Wabash rivalry is the sixth most-played Division III rivalry and equals the 12th-most played in college football." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.16.89.171 (talk) 15:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Hoosiergo, 12 November 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Remove the following lines which have no references and are opinions:

In the 1960 matchup, DePauw held the Bell and scored a last-minute touchdown to cut Wabash's lead to 13-12. Legendary DePauw coach Tommy Mont turned to the stands and spread out his hands. The DePauw fans shouted "Go!". DePauw scored on the conversion and won 14-13. This rule last held significance for the 99th Monon Bell Classic in 1992 in which from the 8 yard line Wabash cowardly opted for a field goal to tie the game at 17-17 and retained ownership of the Bell. As of yet, it is not confirmed if longtime Wabash coach Greg Carlson tried to motivate his players with a speech imploring his team to "Tie One For The Gipper!". This tie set up the 100th game as an evenly split 45-45-9 series.

Partly done: A lot of the article is unsourced, so I'm reluctant to removing all of it. However, I did remove some of the gratuitous commentary. -Atmoz (talk) 21:54, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
