GAME#11: Valpo @Butler for the Hoosier Helmet - 11/16, 11am CST

Two more to go. This one has gotta be a win. Good D, no long gainers. Some forced TOs. Good O. Ball control. No turnovers.

Butler is brutal this year. If Valpo plays even 3/4 to their capabilities, this game should be a win.

So is there any rivalry in the Butler-Valpo matchup? Any traditions? Pranks between schools? Any interest?

Anyone going to this game? Really liked it a few years ago when we had a Valpo tailgate at the Butler Bowl.

FYI, the Butler Bowl is now called the Sellick Bowl.

Although I would like to be there I will be on the road in Ohio that weekend.

In 2017, after having been known as the Butler Bowl since its completion, the stadium was renamed the Bud and Jackie Sellick Bowl.

I will be tailgating at the Butler Bowl

Looks like Cam Kelly is back in graces with coaches and listed on the 2 deep. No Scarsella this week. This would be a great win for the program, 3/4 against Butler matters with the current state of Valpo football. Win Butler and Marist the season tone changes.

Conference PA vs. PG

PA: 31.83
PG: 17.2

Fox is getting closer these last few weeks. Lets hope he pulls the next two out and gets a start on recruiting. OLine should be the #1 priority for very evident reasons

Both teams are a combined 3-17 record. This certainly must be a low for the Hoosier Helmet classic.

valpofb16 · November 15, 2019, 05:55:30 AM

72-12 was the low

usc4valpo · November 15, 2019, 04:50:05 PM

but there was hope as Osteen was canned afterwards.

I am watching College Gameday, and wondering why it is not in Indianapolis.

FWalum · November 16, 2019, 11:16:30 AM

Trying to find stream of this game on YouTube. Not having any luck. Is there a link somewhere?

Found it but not started yet, 25 minutes into the game.

A classic battle of Hoosier HELL-MET frustration.

Will any team score in regulation?

EDIT: End of 1st quarter--no score
How will the Bulldogs fail on this drive?

2nd EDIT: Valpo scores first (and only?) touchdown. AND converts the extra point HOORAY!!!!

vu72 · November 16, 2019, 11:50:58 AM

7-0 Valpo!

valpo64 · November 16, 2019, 12:43:31 PM

whats the deal with the video?

valpo64 · November 16, 2019, 12:49:23 PM

Isn't this game on ESPN 3 or ESPN +? Or is this just another time Butler screws everyone else especially when they have a lousy team?

Have to thank bbtds for the Facebook live link in the quote above.

Crazy the this is not on a more accessible stream. I am watching on a Fire Stick and the Facebook Watch app.

To say that there were some questionable calls in the 4th quarter, is a massive understatement.

vu72 · November 16, 2019, 01:54:47 PM

We make a great comeback and the $hit the bed. Extremely disappointing and a proper ending to a miserable season even though we have one more game. Ugh.

dcannon12 · November 16, 2019, 02:11:44 PM

Fox is not head coach material yet. Duncan had awesome game without him Valpo football would be a catastrophe.

valpotx · November 16, 2019, 02:17:28 PM

He had a good game, yes, but he also threw a key interception where he didn't notice that defender camped out in his passing lane.

usc4valpo · November 16, 2019, 02:22:15 PM

TD - I totally agree with the officiating, and the Pioneer conference needs to pay above minimum wage and get better refs. That being said, Valpo should have never been in the situation to lose as those turnovers were the difference.

dcannon12 · November 16, 2019, 02:30:03 PM

Valpotx one interception is not worth mentioning unless you call out all the other turnovers. That was not a game changer. You are another blogger who knows nothing about football your an armchair guy!

valpotx · November 16, 2019, 02:34:33 PM

Well, I played D-1 baseball in college, what did you do?

It was a game changer, as it directly led to the go-ahead TD for Butler.

dcannon12 · November 16, 2019, 02:59:05 PM

Wad not a starter but played for Bo Schebechler. Do you know who he is?

usc4valpo · November 16, 2019, 03:06:48 PM

I will call out the turnovers, and Duncan threw a bad pass critical in the outcome.

Fox is learning and I think he will get there. He is more raw than Cecchini and he will get better.

One thing I know about Valpo football, by the time you think you have seen all the obscure, but haven't. What a way to lose!
