Schuster did JV as a frosh, then some varsity as a soph., but only a few games. He then sat out a full year before returning last season, so this is his fifth year.

You are correct.  I didn't go back that last year.  Senior moment.

Total varsity minutes prior to the 2010-2011 season

Calvin - 5227
Hope - 6522

Thanks I was planning to get these numbers.  Looks like Calvin has 80% of the Hope number.

He gashed his head open in the JV game that was played on the old fieldhouse court. If I remember correctly, it took 14 or so stitches to clean it up. I'm not sure exactly how it happened but it was not the result of a dirty play or anything like that.

He went up to black a shot in the JV game and got undercut. Did a "full" flip and landed on his head. Kid is lucky only to have suffered a bad cut as that injury is something that can sometimes break a neck or cause a serious concussion.

Taking a glance:

Attendance at two recent "Rival" games:
Calvin vs. Hope (1/5/11)  - 3653
CMU vs. WMU (1/9/11) - 3476

KUDOS to the MIAA!!

I prefer divine providence!

That is truly amazing!  Maybe another banner is in the making.

Go Ducks tonight!

I am rooting tonight for the opposite team that Mark May likes.

Would all of this talk of how bad Hope's defense is be a mute point if they had beaten Calvin last week?

So mute it has become the defense that dares not speak its name.

OK, for all intensive purposes, I misunderestimated you.  A rousing, even roaring +K

Just looking at Calvin's four seniors vs Hope's Bowser/Tanis/Krombeen trio, here's career minutes played coming into this season.

Rodts 1343
Salo 1162
Schuster 594
Schnyders 467
Total for four Calvin seniors:  3566 career minutes, average of 892/player

Bowser 1708
Tanis 973
Krombeen 1532
Total for Hope's two top seniors and one junior:  4213, average of 1404/player

My only point in bringing this up is that Calvin's seniors don't have the game experience that most seniors do.   And our only junior Haverdink has played a grand total of 84 career minutes before this season.  Everyone else is FR/SO, so I would still make the claim that this is a relatively young and inexperienced Calvin team. (still no excuse for losing to Kzoo though   )

The obvious difference is Bowser, Tanis and Krombeen have spent all of their time on Varsity.  The four Calvin kids, either played JV a year, were injured or transfered in to  Calvin.  So yes, it is true Calvin's Sr's don't have the type of game experience you might typically expect.

At least when compared to 3 guys from Hope who have either played all 4 years or will.

Me too, although the options they're left with aren't appealing either.

Yeah, I never did figure out what side of that fence I was on.
