November 7, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — DePauw trailed 17-14 early in the third quarter, but scored on its next three possessions and claimed a 34-23 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference win over visiting Austin as well as the program's third SCAC title.

The Tigers finished in a tie with Millsaps in the SCAC standings, but earned the conference’s automatic qualification into the Division III Championship by virtue of their win over Millsaps in early October. The appearance will be the Tigers’ first in the football playoffs.

DePauw improved to 7-1 overall and 5-1 in the SCAC with their sixth straight win, while the Kangaroos dropped to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in conference play.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Tigers reached paydirt first on Bryan Mulligan's 5-yard pass from Spud Dick with 13:11 left in the second.

Austin's Ross Hasten scored on a 24-yard pass from Andy Braly and then added a 36-yard run to give the Kangaroos a 14-7 lead with 5:12 remaining in the half.

Alex Koors caught an 8-yard scoring pass from Dick with just 1:09 left in the half to knot the score at 14-14. Austin then opened the second half with a 27-yard field goal off the foot of John Reisig.

DePauw responded with an 8-play, 69-yard drive which culminated in a Derrick Karazsia 1-yard run and gave the Tigers a 21-17 lead with 6:34 remaining in the third. Following a defensive stand, DePauw got the ball back on its own 38 and needed nine plays to cover 62 yards with Jon Ellis scoring from the 1 with 1:27 left in the third and pushing the lead to 28-17.

The Kangaroos answered as Hasten scored his third touchdown of the afternoon with a 7-yard run early in the fourth. The try for two failed and DePauw still held a 28-23 lead.

As they've done all year, the Tigers were able to secure the win with a ball-control drive late in the game. DePauw started on its own 22 and 15 plays later it extended the lead to 34-23 with Ellis' 2-yard run.

The Tigers' defense again stopped Austin and the offense ran out the last 3:41 to clinch the win.

Dick completed 31-of-40 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns. The game was the 14th 300-yard game of his career. Koors caught 12 passes for 111 yards, while Mulligan had eight grabs for 75 yards.

In the first quarter Mulligan broke the DePauw career receptions mark of 195 held by Jay True (1977-80). In the third, Koors set the DePauw single-season receiving yardage mark of 991 set by John Stephens in 2001.

Braly threw for 126 yards and rushed for a team-high 83 for the Kangaroos. Hasten added 53 yards as Austin totaled 206 rushing yards. Phillip Gonzales led the way with five catches for 59 yards.

Defensively, Ryan Preuss, Ben Brandstatter and Kyle Sherer each had eight tackles and the Tigers totaled six tackled for loss.

Matt Finke paced Austin with 13 tackles with Nick Zitaglio and Greg Millerick following with 10 each.

DePauw outgained Austin 397-322 and had a 27-19 edge in first downs. The Tigers, ranked third in the nation in time of possession, held a 37:35-22:25 edge for the game.

The Tigers wrap up the regular season at home on Saturday, November 14, with the 116th meeting against Wabash College (8-1) in the Monon Bell game. Kickoff is set for just after 1 p.m. from Blackstock Stadium.

Rapper Fabolous to Perform on Eve of Monon Bell Classic

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

November 7, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — Grammy Award-nominated rapper Fabolous will come to the campus of DePauw University to perform a concert on Friday, November 13, on the eve of the 116th Monon Bell Classic. The show will begin at 9 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium of the Performing Arts Center (doors open at 8). Asher Roth will also perform.

Tickets are available in the Multicultural and Community Life Office (Union Building, room 100). The cost is $10 for DePauw students (who are limited to one ticket each) and $15 for additional tickets. They will also be sold during lunch (11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) in the Hub. The program is presented by Union Board.

Fabolous was among the first East Coast rappers influenced by Southern hip hop sounds. According to All Music, "He was among the first of a new breed of New York City rappers, later and most notably to include 50 Cent, who were able to cross over well among multiple markets without losing street credential."

His releases include five albums, which have collectively sold over three million copies in the United States. Two of the records went platinum (2001's Ghetto Fabolous and 2003's Street Dreams), while one went gold (2004's Real Talk). His most recent album, Loso's Way, was released in July,

Fabolous was honored last year with an ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Award for "Top Rap Song" for "Make Me Better." His many nominations include one for a Grammy Award for "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration" for "Dip It Low" in 2005.

Fellow rapper Asher Roth (pictured at left) exploded onto the music scene this spring with his hit song "I Love College" from the album Asleep in the Bread Aisle. He received a "Best New Artist" nomination at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

Located in the Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts, Kresge Auditorium has hosted thousands of events since its dedication in 1976, including countless concerts by visiting artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, Third Eye Blind, Ben Folds, Harry Chapin, Rufus Wainwright, America, Dave Matthews and Billy Joel, who performed the night before the 1977 Monon Bell game.

November 6, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — "It's been a year of firsts for the DePauw University football team," begins a story in today's Banner Graphic. "It defeated Trinity for the first time in school history two weeks ago. It defeated Millsaps for the first time in several years and on Saturday, with a little luck, it will earn its first playoff bid in the Division III tournament in program history. If the Tigers defeat Austin and Trinity wins(over visiting Centre), DPU will get a piece of the SCAC championship and the conference bid," writes Dan Shelton.

"To date, Austin might be one of the toughest opponents we have seen all year," interim head football coach Robby Long tells the Greencastle newspaper. "They run a non-conventional offense in the wishbone wing-T."

The article notes that the Tigers enter tomorrow's key Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup "on the back of a five-game winning streak, thanks to an offense that has been putting up some huge numbers. The Tigers have been averaging 439.9 yards of offense this season with Spud Dick leading the way averaging 296.8 yards passing. Alex Koors is Dick's No.1 one man on the receiving end. Koors has been averaging 133.6 yards receiving per contest this season. Dick and Koors aren't the only weapons that the Tigers have. They also have a solid running game. On the ground, DPU has been averaging 125.4 yards rushing with Derrick Karazsia leading the team with a 65.3 game average."

Tomorrow's game kicks off at 1 p.m. at Blackstock Stadium. The contest will be carried live on DePauw's student radio station, WGRE (91.5 FM or via this link).
