I'm wondering: will OK and GK show up today wearing maroon and gold face paint? I'm willing to contribute to the cost of the paint.

Frisians are lovers, not fighters,

Saint Boniface would beg to differ.

So would Pier Gerlofs Donia and Caesar Augustus.

Hope at Calvin  Saturday Feb 21 3PM in the season finale

I have it on good authority that next season's home contest with Hope will be Calvin's Homecoming game--the first ever Homecoming dedicated solely to the distaff side of the hoops schedule (the men will be on the road).

Apparently my "good authority" proved to be something less than that. Calvin's hoops schedules are up now and they show Homecoming set for the February 7 men's game against Adrian--not the women's game against Hope. I've voted to impeach my unimpeachable source.

Your original source was correct. 

Calvin's 2009 Homecoming Saturday is February 21, 2009.  The basketball game is between the Knights and Dutch women's teams. 

It's my job to know (as silly as that sounds, it really is).  I'll check about where the schedule information came from, thanks for the heads-up.  February 7 would be too close to the beginning of 2nd semester anyways.

I've found a few.  What are some other school's student section named? ..... and why?

"Blue Crew" Tri-State .... school color
"C Block" Canisius .... school name
"Cameron Crazies" Duke .... play basketball in Cameron Indoor Arena
"Crimson Crazies" Harvard .... school color
"Crimson Crazies" Indiana .... school color
"Dawg Pound" Adrian .... school mascot Bulldog
"Dew Crew" Hope .... sponsor Pepsi, Mountain Dew
"The Izzone" Michigan State .... men's basketball coach Tom Izzo
"Screamin' Demons" Wake Forest .... school masot Demon Decons
"12th Man" Texas A&M .... in 1922 a student was pulled from the stands to play
