K student section "let's play football " classic. Sitting across from the student section one could see the Calvin student body smiling at the creativity of the K cheers. Calvin alums may have thought it disgraceful but the students didn't.

There's nothing disgraceful or offensive about the "Let's play football" chant but its just not a classic anymore. The first time I ever heard it I laughed and thought it was pretty creative but it's not anymore--its just a lazy fallback line I've heard for years. It's time to put it back on the shelf because it lacks the punch and humor it once had.

Kind of like "Where's your banner??"

Except Calvin doen't have a football team but Hope does play basketball.

And God knows we'll never hang a football banner! Maybe someday we'll be as awesome as Calvin and have one of those Basketball banners too...

Hope women up 15 with 3 minutes left. It looks like the hay is in the barn.

NW Hope fan: There are some people who think if Calvin had lost to Hope in 92 that Hope could have gone all the way. Your 95 team was awesome, 96 would have won in any normal year. It takes a very good team, and a little luck here and there to snag a banner. This may be the year.

Yup; on the shelf just below "We've got extras."

I agree with all points... And yes, this may be the year. But those are chickens I'm not counting yet.

Walked into DeVos a little tardy today and was shocked to see around 2,000 people in there. GREAT crowd.

Tough ballgame for the ladies on both sides, neither team was giving an inch defensively. Hope just had too many weapons for the lady Knights. As the game wore on Calvin wore down and Bria Ebels made her presense known. I think Calvin only scored a handfull of points in the last 8 or 9 minutes.

Bria had one of the best blocks on a 2-1 fast break you'll ever see, and when she buried a 3 to make it Hope by 15 the hay was indeed in the barn. Congrats to the lady Dutch.

One down, one to go............Hope v Calvin at the other Fieldhouse. 7:30

I don't know how many tickets Hope returned but they were still selling them at the woman's game but they termed them "limited quatities".........I think we'll have a full house tonight.

Go Hope, and safe travels.

sac · February 25, 2006, 05:27:15 PM

No predictions? Well I'll be the first homer of the night and say.........Hope 68 Calvin 64.

bulldogalum · February 25, 2006, 05:44:31 PM

I think Hope is due to beat Calvin in the Fieldhouse. I'll say 72-63 Hope, some late free throws making it a more comfortable margin.

KnightSlappy · February 25, 2006, 05:51:08 PM

This came to me in a dream.....really I had a dream with this score. Calvin 62 Hope 59.

KnightSlappy · February 25, 2006, 05:51:36 PM

I do realize this leaves me open to the "in your dreams" reply.

arena · February 25, 2006, 05:51:53 PM

My gut is telling me Hope by 15. I want my gut to be wrong.

(And a little smaller......)

mjfasteenwolf · February 25, 2006, 05:52:40 PM

Hope 77-66

Cramer has a big game, he is finally realizing that he can score on anybody, I also liked the fact that Vansolkema seemed to find his shot off the bench a little bit last night. If DVS, Wolfe, or Partridge get hot, its lights out for all 3 of them.

RastaRob · February 25, 2006, 05:54:47 PM

I am going to say 81-65 Hope with the victory. Hope will play big and finish strong. My brother was giving me a hard time today telling me that Hope never wins the big games. He needs to be WRONG tonight. Let's Go Dutch!!

Go Calvin beat hope
