End of Monon Week and Bell Game

 

When they said Monon Bell week was crazy, I underestimated how great and crazy it would be. For the fifth year in a row, D****** will have an empty trophy case. They really should not be surprised that it turned out that way. The visiting stands were more full than theirs were, thats sad. I also didn’t believe that the build up during the week for the game can’t be matched by another campus. Guarding the bell, patrolling the campus, Alma Mater sing, and the actual game today is too unique to Wabash College.

I have been to all the home football games this year and not one matches how loud and excited we were in the crowd today. This is year five of keeping the bell at Wabash. It’s hard to write about the importance of winning today’s game. This is a rivalry that began five years after Wabash was founded and has been alive over 150. I could never imagine how lonely and dead Wabash campus would feel without the bell. I will never have to know what that feels like because Wabash will always keep this bell.
