The IWU Titans in the locker room @ Wooster 3/9, before facing the Scots.  A little tribute to the fans in Holland...

To say the 2011-12 Titans were a "loose bunch" would be an understatement!

Please everyone look at this...you want to see fun and friendship and what it's like to be on a TEAM...  it can't be shown any better than this...

1:06 mark of the video....dude realizing that he wouldn't be able to enjoy watching so many white guys dance if he would have gone D1 instead

It's ok.  I'd rather point to a 12 year old banner AND a 20 year old banner than point to an 'Attendance leader banner' or an 'All MIAA sports award banner'   

BTW, what is the "statute of limitations" on banner pointing??  5 years? 10 years? There is none? I don't know, but I'm sick of Calvin fans doing it?   

According to the Official Book, the statute of limitations expires when your rivals just laugh when you point at those dusty, moth-eaten things.  In other words, about 2 years ago.   

Purdue fans must really laugh at Indiana fans then.

If I wasn't getting ready to head outside to mow my lawn I would swear there was a midweek Hope/Calvin clash tonight. 

One point of clarification:  "Dusty, moth eaten banners" would better describe my late grandma's incredibly large collection of who knows how many years of her beloved Christian Reformed Church publications we discovered in her basement than the ones Calvin fans like to point to every now and then

"moth-eaten" also serves as an explanation as to why there are no such banners at the DeVos. Moths must have eaten them. That has to be it.

This has to stop.  Claiming that even small winged insects find the DeVos attendance banners lacking in substance crosses the line of good taste.

Either

A.  when you cease being proud of your school's historical accomplishments, or
B.  when your archrival gets just one of their very own

whichever occurs first.  Happily, neither has yet.   

I'm pretty sure 'where's your banner?' can be easily changed to 'where's your other banner?' quite easily.

Wow, this would double the number of Calvin student chants.

And there would be the printing cost of new yellow sheets of "how to cheer"

My question about Finlandia away is, is that actually away or are they playing it in St. Ignace like Albion/Finlandia have done?

I'm considering adding more cardio so I can participate longer than a couple seconds next year.
