GO VALPO

[vu72]

Great first half!!!  14-3 Go Valpo!!!!!

[valpotx]

I would really love for us to demolish Butler in the second half.  Run up the score, like they did last year.

[usc4valpo]

I will take the win.  I hope the Bill Murray pep talk will lead them to victory.

[VULB#62]

17-3 Valpo with under 4 minutes to go and butler at 4-13 at the BU 29.


BU turns overon downs.  Valpo rolling

[usc4valpo]

OK, finish this out.

[valpotx]

BUCK FUTLER!!!!

[VULB#62]

It appeears that my prayers over the last few years have finally begun to be answered: Play some defense and keep the scores close --  and win it with basic football.  Can there be any doubt that the negative slide this program has been experiencing has finally been stopped?  Now we need to start climbing back up into respectability.

It appears from Todd's commentary that Guilford is having a career game.  Congrats (JUNIOR) John Guilford 

CUSADERS WIN!  CRUSADERS WIN!  CRUSADERS WIN!

[vu72]

I have never seen or heard of a "F------ Helmet".  What does one look like?        Brew Scutler!!!!!    GO VALPO!!!      What a great win...let's hope it carries over for the rest of the season and then into the b-ball season!  Congratulations to Coach C and the Team!!!!!

The team played a terrific game. It was great to watch the enthusiasm, confidence, and determination from the opening kickoff through the final minutes, as well as to feel the energy on the sideline. I took many pictures, and I'll post them when I can, but the image below is the one I think everyone was waiting to see. An injured Tanner Kuramata delivers the Hoosier Helmet to Coach Cecchini at the team gathering following the game.

"I can't begin to tell you how much this means to me " GO VALPO!

You said it, brother! This is fantastic!

I'm wearing the "BF" t-shirt on Monday at work! I haven't been this happy about Valpo Athletics since we beat Butler in the Horizon League tournament in MBB!




Dead Bulldog!!!!

This is a great day.  To call it a program-defining win might be TMTS, as the late great Coach Skip Bird would write in my margins, but it is simply glorious. 

To assist us in appreciating this achievement, I made a helpful graph.



In all honesty, when was the last time you saw a team convert FIVE fourth downs? 

(Aside from Bob Stitt or that one KRAZY hs coach in ar-kansas.)

Great Game to watch...They will have a good time on the left coast next weekend... then home for the Davidson Mildcats.

It is surprising that this game wasn't picked to be on video.  I assume that it has to do with other Valpo events that would cause difficulty in setup of the system?

I'm thinking it had to do with volleyball having a home game that could have decided the conference title vs. a football game that we weren't sure what significance it would have. I don't understand why Valpo doesn't have multiple cameras to be able to carry both an event at Brown Field and the ARC, if they are playing concurrently? I mean how costly is a second camera?

[valpopal]

Here are three more of my photos from the post-game festivities. First, the team retrieves the Hoosier Helmet from the Butler side of the field and marches with it to the Valpo side. Second, in front of the home stands full of fans, the players share their celebration at capturing the Hoosier Helmet. Finally, the coach carries the game ball to his office, where he will have it signed by all the players on the team.

Great pictures! You really captured the pure joy and celebration after the game. Loved how one of the seniors ran over to the Butler side, grabbed the Helmet off the bench and brought it to the team -- it was definitely not handed over graciously! Great day for Valpo football!
