agora.

Do you use these words for fun or are you trying piss off the other 99% of the board who have to google the definitions to find out what you're trying to say? 

Pissing people off is just a bonus.

Remember where HopeConvert received his foundational education?

Yes, It's almost as if he's been wandering in the desert since he left.   

Actually, I was wandering while I was receiving my foundational education. It's all very sad.

One last thought on the officiating on Wednesday. I actually thought the officials did a great job in the first half. Considering the way that half was played I think the officials did a wonderful job of balancing what contact should be called and what they should let go.

In the second half I really felt as if three different guys came out there because their calls really trailed off. As everyone said though I don't think the officials unfairly favored either team, nor did I ever suggest that in other posts, the fact I focused more on calls against Hope is because as a Hope fan I naturally remember those plays better.

As a rule I agree even when the refs are bad the calls almost always balance out. I can recount maybe two occasions in my whole life where it really appeared a particular ref had it out for one team but that's why there are three refs and usually if that starts to happen the other refs try to balance out the game. However, just because the calls balance out doesn't mean I should not want to see the right calls all the time. I realize that is impossible but I'll never expect and call for anything but the best from everyone.

196 to M-6 to 96east to 69 south(toward Ft Wayne)

Take the Aigner RD (exit 51) exit turn left for about 3/4 of a mile

turn rght on main street and the college is approx. a half mile down

There is very little parking.  Olivet's finest like to write parking tickets.  Beware.

The true "Dutch" way to get there would be to strap on your roller blades, attach a rope to the back of the FDF/CM car and hold on for an exciting ride!!  If its snowing, you may want to wear a coat too! 


See you in Olivet!

600 is still 600 and not at home is a bummer, but I enjoyed 500 at Albion... But I'm also still bitter about Coach T's input in the short court affair.

Or, you can follow I-69 to Exit #48. Take a left and go straight about one mile.

At the stop sign, turn left to go down Main St. If you look past the intersection, you will see the new facility being built.

Go less than 1/2 mile and turn right onto Cottage St. The best bet for parking is on either Cottage Street or any of the other surrounding side streets.

That's the way we usually go - typically take about 2 hours.  Our son has attended McCracken camps at Olivet for several summers, so it's a very familiar drive for us.  Only thing I would add is if you want to eat before the game, you should probably stop closer to Lansing - more choices.

I'm just tired of getting home from a basketball game and the first few words on every post (exagerration) is how bad the refs were.  I probably read more of this board than most, its universal.  I'd like to think people have more intelligent things to say than the refs suck.  It really looks foolish after a while.

Amjr. didn't use an emoticon but I'm pretty sure I detected a full tongue in cheek within his comment. And maybe one in your response back too.

Tautology -- now there's an applicable word for around here!
