I got it. Looks like I got your -K as well.

In the list of things not tolerated around here, whining about losing karma falls just behind tolerance of all things Dutch - especailly during Tulip Time   

You're right. Mea culpa.

Things must be lonely on the CCIW board, given how many posts you've had here lately. Mind you, I'm thrilled to see your presence, and might even recommend to you that you start choosing sides in the rivalry. I have a nice blue Hope T-shirt for you and I'm confident FDF can rummage up a pair of orange shorts. You're already getting negative karma, so you might as well do something to deserve it.

Who says that I haven't already chosen a side?

Mind you, if I have, the trick will be to keep it from being publicly revealed.

I'm curious to see if any Calvinites will match your bribe.

All we can offer is two more years to put under the logo on your profile

I could offer you a 12" x 18' maroon and gold Calvin towel.  This would eliminate the possiblity of you being seen wearing Wheaton colors.

If you just read about it and missed the 9 am airing (like I did) of Outside the Lines this morning, it will re-air at 10 am on ESPN2.

[sflzman]

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" will feature a documentary on Wes Leonard at 9am Sunday morning.

I caught it by pure luck. It was very good.

92-87.

Ending your rival's season 6 years in a row.

A special spot in the Dew Crew.

A beer at New Holland.

Tulips, not TULIP.

Wow. I've never been the twistappel in an iteration of The Rivalry before. My Dutch immigrant great-great-grandfather would be so proud.

Gregory:
As you know full well, bribery and baksheesh are unbecoming to thoughtful Calvinists and Covenanters alike.
It's thus disappointing, but scarcely surprising, to note that the craven (and pathetically low-dollar) offer for your affections originated in the Dew-soaked mind of a Calvin alum gone amiss and awry. 
Further evidence, I submit, that sabbaticals are designed for cheap mischief and malevolent behavior as much as research and refreshment.

Well if that doesn't deserve +k, then I don't know what does.

As a Calvin grad, low-dollar is the only kind of offer I know.

I'm quite frankly surprised that you left my mind at merely Dew-soaked. I had suspected you knew better.

[goodknight]

I "dew" know better.
Nice comeback on the low-dollar offer.  +k.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Um, guys, 5 national titles notwithstanding, have you seen NPU's record in recent years?   You might want to reconsider whether you want Greg rooting for your team or the other guys!

[Sorry, Greg, the devil made me do it. ]

ESPN did a good job.  Ryan Klingler is very impressive.

Some sleuthing has revealed a very interesting date on the Hope College basketball schedule next winter.

The Marietta schedule is showing the Pioneers playing in the Russ DeVette Tournament vs Hope, Dec. 29  http://pioneers.marietta.edu/schedule.aspx?path=mbball .   I should mention that while the schedule shows a Marietta v Hope game, that might not necessarily be the case since neither schedule is set in stone, but it looks like Marietta will at least be in Holland next December.

I suspect Marietta is going to start the season ranked among the top 15 since they lose no one from a Sweet 16 team.   Looking at their schedule the Pioneers should be coming to Holland with a sparkling in-region record.  Marietta is coached by former Albion Briton, Jon VanderWal.

This is exciting as the top programs in the Great Lakes Region rarely get together during the regular season.
