Hey, do they have rules at "Free Will Baptist College"? I mean, if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice, right?

/needs to stop listening to Rush records when posting...

[Ralph Turner]

Smedindy,  As I understand the Free Will Baptist, they believe in re-baptism and/or believer's baptism, but are more Arminianism in theology than Calvinist.

Jacobus Arminius (1559-1609)

The most influential Arminianist on American Christianity is probably John Wesley.

They could be the Cal Tech of D-2! Well, without the brains.

[Titan Q]

There are really very few games played each year between the top D3 teams and the top NAIA teams.  Here is a complete list of the 2004-05 season games between teams in the final D3hoops.com poll and NAIA D1 and D2 tournament teams (I felt the D3hoops.com final poll reflected last year's "best D3 teams" better than the D3 tournament field)...
 

vs NAIA I

Brescia 66 (1st Rnd Loss) @Hanover (D3 #7) 64

vs NAIA II

Cornerstone (Elite Eight) 88 Calvin (D3 #2) 87 - neutral

Calvin (D3 #2) 88 @Trinity Christian (1st Rnd Loss) 59

Listen Mr. Ypsi -

I have tried to be patient with you over the yars, but you patent lack of respect for the coaching staff forces me to take drastic actions.  You are now suspended for 4 games and we won't play you after that.  Go find a friendly arbiter.

C

ps - Just kidding.  I am certianly on the lower tier of HOF members.  But you better mention PAt next time!  He can get grumpy.
