Those of you that have followed KS's +/- game reports will appreciate this:

Former UM Wolverine Manny Harris was a -57 for the Cleveland Cavaliers last night. Every starter for the Lakers was at least a +41

LA Lakers 112, Cleveland Cavs 57

Box score

Almost as impressive is the fact that the Lakers scored 112 points, but didn't have an individual player score more than 15.  Teamwork in the NBA - what will be next.

Verticality could be correctly called and applied by officials at any level... NOPE... they can't even get traveling right.

and boom goes the dynamite

Boom it is. Brady Hoke is the guy.

[Dark Knight]

I'm being usurped! 

From the Calvin student body president:

Dear Calvin Community,
As the Student Body President and chair of the Dark Knights Society (DKS), I'd like to welcome you to the concept of this brand new chartered organization.   

Who are the Dark Knights? They are a group of 12 passionate and energetic students representing all academic years who will be at every basketball game and major Calvin event, drumming up support for the teams with their dances, cheers, and interactions with the crowd. The Dark Knights will act as tradition builders with innovative cheers, spunky looks, and lots of heart. These students won't be known by their given names but by personas (Bling, Caesar, Rufio, Lackademics, Colonel, The Kid, Charms, The Flow, Schemer, Birdman, Whips, and Dr. Swag). Wearing gold masks to conceal their identities, black jumpsuits, wigs of all shapes and sizes, and Converse shoes, these students will be a sight to see on the court and will hopefully continue the legacy off the court and down in Calvin's history. When they graduate, these Dark Knights will un-mask--revealing their identities to their classmates, roommates, and even significant others!

They've been practicing for a week now and are ready for the big debut today. After building up their name through advertising methods (paint, under cover appearances, and pictures), the Dark Knights will finally show their masked faces to the public during halftime. After halftime they will be in the stands cheering on the team with chants and cheers. They've worked so hard for this. I hope the basketball team and crowd appreciate their presence.

Student-section gimmicks are wonderful and a great part of what college basketball is all about. Officially organized, sanctioned, and chartered student-section gimmicks ... not so much.

If you want to be wild and crazy in the stands, just stay out of trouble. Don't seek out the imprimatur of the administration beforehand. There's nothing wild and crazy about a stunt that comes with the prior blessing of your elders.

Halftime? Sorry, that's when I eat my ice cream. Been doing it for 60 years and will not tolerate any change in routine.

Ziggy, you're the early front-runner for 2011's Best "Get Off My Lawn" Post award.

Hey now. I work hard on my lawn (because I don't have anything better to do).  Plus, my wife appreciates it (through the kitchen window, that's her place afterall). I just hate it when I'm pruning the begonias and those kids ride through with their loud hippity-hop music playing (even though I can hardly hear at all anymore). Sorry, I must sign off now; I take my supper at five and not a minute later!

Yes, start this the year right after I graduate from Calvin...



Anyways, looking forward to go to the game tonight.  Haven't been to too many this year.  And we know both teams are going to fired up for this game.

I wouldn't worry too much DK, or file an application to change your name.      I can just imagine the fun the dew crew is going to have on the 29th.  On second thought you might want to file that name change asap.

I have to go with GS on this one. This is really rather comical.

Really. As opposed to the Dew Crew.  Really?

You can call it comical, but it was always a source of humor to the Dew Crew when the Calvin student section would show up dressed in every color under the sun.  At a minimum, a cohesively dressed Calvin student section would add a ton to the rivalry games.  A sea of yellow/maroon opposite a sea of orange.  Win.

Is this a serious comment?
Hey, whatever makes you feel good about yourself.
