golfniz1, I'm pretty good, wondering how I get more responses about a Hooters in Holland, MI, than anything else I've ever posted here! (As a good Calvinist, I must add that I've never been to a Hooters, myself...) 

My big dilemma right now is figuring out how to listen to the game Friday night as well as attending our Good Friday church service...

And if you did, were you predestined to go there?

Or was it free will?

First time poster.  I noticed someone indicated that Hooters serves food now    Couldn't resist joining in the discussion.  Not to mention, I've got my tickets for the final for in Holland, and I'm a little excited!   

Oh no!

History will record that your first post on the D3Sports.com message boards was about Hooters.

What will you tell your grandchildren?   

Welcome anyway! 

  Oh well...it could have been worse.

I could have blindly jumped in - right in the middle of a Coach K versus "the" Coach K debate, and had no idea what was being said, or what to say.

Thanks for the welcome anyway.

The food and the fellowship.  We have our deacons meetings there.

HA HA HA
that cracked me up!!!

[oldknight]

But you have to translate it to Dutch, so wouldn't it be Toeters?

Actually it's Hootheers throughout west Michigan which is Dutch for "distinguished gentlemen." Of course if a Calvinist is seen frequenting such an institution he comes with religious tract in hand and only goes to read the menu--not look at the pictures wait staff.

I, for one, am a Calvinist by my own free will.

Or maybe it's that I have been an Arminian from the foundation of the world.   

Either way, the Jackets are going to win it all, baby!

According to Brownwood radio and the newspaper Meia Daniels has been named WBCA Player of the Year and Coach K has been named Coach of the Year.

If anyone still needs tickets, I have a pair for both nights that I will not be able to use due to a death in the family.  They are at midcourt, behind the scorers/media tables, in the cushy seats.  PM me if you are interested.

Also a great story by Gordon Mann on the front page.  He definitely captured what this team is truly about, where they've come from and where they are headed and want to be.

In the picture of Meia Daniels by Ron Pfiester, we see three people going to the right of the picture.

Is that a McMurry jersey to the right of Meia?
Followed by Coach Kielsmeir?
And the McMurry broadcaster Kit Kimbrell wearing the headsets?

Nobody deserves the honor more than Coach K! 

You HPU fans need to start preparing yourselves for the inevitable move of Coach K to a DII or DI program.  It is going to happen.

In fact, we fans from other ASC member institutions have been sending out glowing (but unsolicited) letters of recommendation.  Not only is Coach Kielsmeir a great basketball coach, but we understand that he is working on a cure for cancer (winning cures anything, doesn't it) and eliminating world hunger, global warming and drought in west Texas.

Some interesting parallels between HPU and UWW, for what they are worth.  Both had home court advantage when they beat their opponents to get to the Final Four.  And some DePauw people are complaining on the SCAC discussion pages about the same disparity in foul calls with UWW that some Hope people on the MIAA discussion pages have made about their game with HPU.

The free throw stats from last Saturday's DePauw - Whitewater game:
DePauw 11-13 FTs
UWW    19-32 FTs

So, tomorrow two teams which both collect a lot of foul calls play each other on what should be a neutral court (though there will probably be more UWW fans there simply because it's closer than Brownwood).  And I'll bet this time around, Meia will be double teamed, something Hope never did to shut her down last Saturday.  The other HPU players will have to step it up!  But of course, I'm sure they and Coach Kielsmeir all know that...

[dballa]

I don't see how UWW would have more fans than HPU.  This weekend they couldn't even get more than 500 total at their home game against DePauw.  HPU received 250 tickets to begin with and from what I heard they were pretty much all sold plus some others that had purchased them from Hope College directly.  I think the only people we won't out number will be the Hope faithful that come to watch the games.

Maybe the New Holland Brewing Co.

Highly recommended.
