Free transportation, room, and tickets.  In my previous post, I said tickets and tickets.  Actually, students only get one set of tickets.  Students only pay for food.

They did this in the fall for Volleyball and Soccer, the two other teams that made the Final Four.  Incidentally, Hope College also had more fans at the Volleyball Final Four.  No need to mention the result of that semi-final match.

The endowment at Washington University has recovered considerably and is actually closer five billion in total, but it takes a lot to operate a world-class Medical School and Top 10 programs in almost everything else.  The University operates as several institutions and every institution has its own endowment.  The money does not necessarily trickle down.  I would not be surprised if the Hope College athletics budget was larger than ours on a per athlete basis.  Not at all.

I believe Rochester is charging $30 for bus ride, hotel and tix for students.   Leaves Thursday night at 11 and returns Saturday after they win the championship.

Tom Renner said on his daily sports update this morning that Hope received additional tickets yesterday, and was able to get tickets for everyone on the waiting list.  He also said there are a handful of tickets still available as well as space for a few more folks on the second bus.  Tom's estimate is that there will be between 800 and 900 Hope fans at IWU!!!  GO HOPE

The team is leaving today at 1:30pm from the DeVos, and there will be an official "send off", including refreshments.  I think he mentioned hot chocolate and coffee, but with the great weather we're having, something cold might be better   

Maybe Stinger could help out!

HOPEfully, by the time the snow starts falling we will be celebrating a national championship.  If so, we can just consider the snow as celebratory confetti from heaven (just making lemonade)

When my wife and I saw the local TV news report on the award, we were thrilled. We also reminisced a bit. It would be an exaggeration to say Carrie grew up in our house but she spent time there and I have home video to prove it. Recently I was going through some old footage of my kids and among the video was a segment of eight year old Carrie playing on the oldknight front porch along with my daughters, doing what grade school age girls everwhere do. To realize that our daughters' playmate is now being honored as national POY is a surreal experience. If my wife and I are thrilled we can't imagine the excitement the Snikkers family is experiencing.
