Devossed:

Thanks for the confirmation, good to know that another Alpena Wildcat headed up a student section in his day.

Today is a very special day.  Student ticket day for Calvin v. Hope round 159.

That is very special!

[Stinger]

my thoughts and prayers, SAC.

The worst thing you can pin on the stingers and Krazys is occasional bad language. This is far different than a few members of the Dew Crew breaking into a car and stealing an object after a game at Kresge.

University of Michigan just released the name of their new Head Coach. Brian Ellerbe is poised and ready to take Michigan to not only to the top of the Big 10, but to the top of the nation as well. Look for Michigan to dominate instate recruiting.

I certainly didn't know of a postgame incident in Albion and no, I won't call to bother the AD for information, but through any colored glasses that is certainly a whole different issue from swearing at a game and can't be spun. That is an individual incident falling into the (very) bad apples category though. As far as appropriate conduct during games, I have never seen any out of line behavior by the Dew Crew, Knight Club, or Krazys as a group. Worst I can recall from the Kresge students was some pretty aggressive trash talk a couple years ago when Hope had beaten Calvin in the MIAA semis and the gym was being cleared for the waiting Albion semi. Whatever was said was bad enough that I recall an apology from the administration the following night, but none of that attitude carried into the Krazys' cheering during any Albion games I've seen myself.

My one Stingers experience is the only exception I have seen where a student section as a group showed a level of inappropriateness and aggression that went over the line. This was of course a decade ago, so I won't claim that this is still the case in Kzoo, but I was using it as a benchmark. If a whole student section is to that point, it should be brought under control somehow. If Hope fans were having issues with outbursts by individuals throughout the game though, it's hard to do anything about that and I think most fans would realize that every fan base has some quantity of those folks (hopefully not OSU quantity though).

By the way Yaz, I generally get a chuckle from your posts, but why did you have to drag out those memories of the unraveling of UM basketball like that, particularly right as things finally seem to be going right? Why don't you just bring up Jeff Smoker and his speed of light spiking ability, or Kordell Stewart, or time-outs that aren't there AHHHHHHHHH...

Today is a very special day. Student ticket day for Calvin v. Hope round 159.

I got mine, see everyone in a week

Kzoo was ranked #8 in small schools for the no. of Peace Corps volunteers last year, vnad  #1 per capita of any school. Nice to see the students giving back.  My roommate at K volunteered in Costa Rica.  When I visited you could see the good work he was doing for the under privileged youth there. That's a nice ranking to have.

1000 tickets reserved for Calvin students, gotta love the fieldhouse!

[ChicagoHopeNut]

Its nice of the Calvin student body to show up to their one game a year at home too when they give you those tickets.

What happened to Evan Hare?  Did anyone ever find out if he was really done
or not?

SAC - Sorry to hear of your loss.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I heard the stingers were called the stingers because they all drink 40 oz. of Mickey's Malt Liquor - underneat the cap is a picture of a wasp/bee

Don't get stung by the stingers- is this true or just something some Albion kid made up for poops and laughs?

Supersweet HOF would like to induct...

Tim Hartson - (Albion Grad) for being the fastest white kid on the LPGA.  Kick Annika's butt my man.  Then get Michelle Wie's number for me (is she legal?)

Chad Clum - for being the best DOW player ever.  It's tough beating up on TKE kids in noontime hoops, Chad. SWEET!

Ernie Cryer - for being the best official in the universe!  I love that hair, baby!

News Flash - Michigan ranked 20th in the nation in this week's poll!  No, I'm not kidding this time.  It's real news! RESPECT! Bouyaka!

  Glenn VanWieren, coach of the Hope College men's basketball team, after
  living a full life, died.  When he got to Heaven, God was showing him
  around.  They came to a modest little house with a faded Hope College
  flag in the window.  "This house is yours for eternity, Glenn", said God.
  "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

  Glenn felt very special, indeed, and walked up to his new house. On his
  way up to the porch he noticed another house just around the corner. It
  was a three story mansion with a maroon and gold sidewalk, a fifty foot
  tall flag pole with an enormous Calvin College flag, and in every window
  was a Calvin College Knight sticker.  Glenn looked at God and said, "God,
  I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question.  I was a good
  coach, our teams won many MIAA titles, and we went to the national
  championship games."

  God said, "So, what's your point Glenn?"

  "Well, why does Calvin's coach, Kevin VandeStreek, get a better house
  than me?"

  God chuckled and said, "Glenn, that's not Kevin's house... it's Mine!

Realist, really funny.  I got this a while ago, didn't think that this board was for this but what they hey...

Kevin VandeStreek, coach of the Calvin College men's basketball team, after living a full life, died.  When he got to Heaven, God was showing him around.  They came to a modest little house with a faded Calvin College flag in the window.  "This house is yours for eternity, Kevin", said God.  "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here.

Kevin felt very special, indeed, and walked up to his new house.  On his way up to the porch he noticed another house just around the corner.  It was a three story mansion with a blue and orange sidewalk, a fifty foot tall flag pole with an enormous Hope College flag, and in every window was a Hope College anchor sticker.  Kevin looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question.  I was a good coach, our teams won many MIAA titles, and we went to the national championship games."

God said, "So, what's your point Kevin?

"Well, why does coach Glenn VanWieren get a better house than me?" 

God chuckled and said, "Kevin, that's not Glenn's house, it's mine!

Moral of the story, don't post things that you are not sure you were first to see or write.  It might just show just how unclever you are.

That same joke is in circulation in the other order. The Hope house is God's and KVS lives in the small home down the road. But it is admittedly funny either way.

ESPN reporting that Dee Brown is considering an immediate transfer to Hope College. When asked about the decision Dee said, "hey, i love their colors. I won't even need to get a new mouthguard."

Top 3 Responses to that Joke:
3.) Nothing like putting a fresh coat of paint on a really really old (read bad) joke.
2.) Glenn should have known it wasn't KVS's mansion.  There were no three-piece suits hanging in the closet.
1.) In your description of the mansion, why didn't you mention the butler donning that gay Knight mascot outfit?
