Chuck Norris is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris was the fourth Wiseman. He brought baby Jesus the gift of "beard". Jesus wore it proudly to his dying day. The other Wisemen, jealous of Jesus' obvious gift favoritism, used their combined influence to have Chuck omitted from the Bible. Shortly after all three died of roundhouse kick related deaths.
Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

Nothing like using the board to dredge up old, completely irrelevant emails.

Yeah, but they are good for a laugh - thanks

Sac thinks you could just provide the link too.

I think the reporters are just pissed that nobody tips them off to injuries/events that could lead them to profit from games.

Well I highly recommend the Chuck Norris website, (as he wipes the tears of laughter from his eyes).. Good stuff I'd forgotten many of those.

Calvin might have trouble with Olivet if the Comets attack the basket and Dozie has a big game.  Otherwise a can't picture an upset.

Kzoo can beat Albion, will they?  I don't know.

Hope's "trouble" if you can call it that, is they have struggled on offense believe it or not.  Statistically Hope is not an impressive team on offense when compared to other nationally ranked teams.  However this is more a product of their controlled play as I like to call it.  There is room for improvement in this team.........and still time.

If it takes the kind of efforts I saw from Albion and Calvin to beat them so be it.


Question:  What do you do with a 4.0 in Economics from Kzoo College.

Answer:  Just about anything you want.

Congrats Brad.

8 pages of Chuck Norris facts.  I feel so enlightened (but my co-workers are becoming worried about the odd laughter coming from my office).     And they say you can't learn anything useful posting here...

Sac;  You make some very good points on Calvin/Olivet.  Just wonder why Hope didn't pound it inside more if that is where you think Calvin is vulnerable?
With all the talent on the Hope team is it possible they just aren't certain yet who there "go to" guys are, or do they have too many of them?   Sometimes one of the guys just has to say give me the ball at crunch time!!  I am sure they will sort it out, and the payback for Calvin may not be pretty.

I don' t think Voisin and Phillips are true low post players like Crawford or Dozie.
Voisin stuggles playing with his back to the basket.  He's much more comfortable on the perimeter.  He reminds me of Bill Laimbeer.  Phillips seems
like he doesn't have real low post skills either.  I think this will really hurt them
when they get into the NCAA tournament

Go ask Brandon Crawford about one dimensional inside play against the Knights.  I dont think Dozie is quite as good as Crawford.

KresgeKrazy,

Only one thing is higher than Chuck Norris' percentage for connecting on his famous roundhouse kicks. That is Brandon Crawford's field goal percentage.

This fact is truly amazing when you consider Chuck Norris has never missed.

The University of Indiana landed its biggest recruit yet. This kid will be the face of Indiana basketball for years to come. He guaranteed he will stay for four years. His all around game is second to none. Hoosier fans plan on being in the Final Four. He picked IU because he feels he really gets along with the Head Coach and his coaching style. FINAL FOUR here come the Hoosiers led by the shooter from French Lick.

Its not that I feel Calvin is vulnerable inside as much as I just don't think Hope attacked the basket enough, or at all really.  I'd love to see a tape and count the number of times Hope sent a cutter to the basket when the double team showed its face.  I bet the number is pretty low, on top of that Hope seemed very tentative to drive the lane when faced with one-on-one looks.  Easy to see from the cheap seats upstairs I guess.

Dozie for Olivet is just a horse, he could have scored 40 against Hope if he could finish better.  He'll give anyone trouble.  Calvin's double teams are an enigma sometimes.  KVS has always used them, somtimes they work exceptionally well like Wed.......sometimes they don't like the first meeting in Holland where Calvin looked a step slow all night.

I don't expect Olivet to be within 10 points when the final buzzer sounds.


Chuck Norris once participated in the running of the bulls.  He walked.

All of this Chucky talk I figured I would get on here and defend myself.  I once went to Burger King and ordered a Big Mac and I got it.

FDF and Civic Minded I see that you plan on making the trip to Adrian which makes me happy to hear.  I will meet you at half court after the game.  I hope you like the improvements to the MSFC, it looks better, it is pretty close to the Devos now.  

Drive careful to the games everyone, it looks like the roads are getting slick.  Go Dawgs!!!!!!!!! 

[Civic Minded]

ROFLMAO!  You had me going there, Mr. Norris!  Twill be a pleasure to meet you at half court.   


And sac, pay heed to Mr. Norris' words.  If YOU are driving to Adrian, be careful (your history with speed limits is infamous)!
