Quote from: The Third Division on November 07, 2026, 11:30:04 PMI've always known from one way or another that Calvin takes their athletics very seriously...

Some sports... only some.

Quote from: BergAlum2 on November 09, 2026, 01:41:01 PMI know Calvin's program is new, but I was really Impressed with their Broadcast quality, better than any of the OAC school's even Mounts

If you're willing to raise and spend the money, it's not that hard.

Quote from: calvin_grad on November 02, 2025, 03:45:13 PMI don't know anything about D3 football, but with Calvin's 50-20 win over Olivet yesterday, they have guaranteed themselves a winning season in just their second year of football.  This seems like a pretty big accomplishment.

When Calvin announced the beginning of football at the school, I asked a knowledgeable person at Calvin how long it would take for one of its teams to have a winning record in a season. "Five years" was the answer I got. Both Trent Figg and the Calvin community should be delighted to see this prediction was far too pessimistic.

Most Calvin folks I know agreed Calvin would have a winning record in the first few seasons. The MIAA is seems weak.

Quote from: HOPEful on September 29, 2025, 09:00:46 AMStill, I just simply can't understand how 8 refs all huddled together and decided to overturn the call on the field to an incomplete pass.

Someone in stripes thinks he's clever and likes attention.

Quote from: wally_wabash on September 26, 2025, 11:55:03 AM... but if these SOs hang around through their SR year and Calvin has a pile of 3 and 4-year starters in 2027, it's not crazy to think they could be real challengers for an MIAA title. 

The psalm-singing would sweep across West Michigan. Dordt did beat Northwestern this week, so maybe the RCA footballers are trending down?

Quote from: ADAWGISADAWG4LIFE on September 13, 2025, 08:00:08 PMAlso, big shout out to calvin. Looks like big improvement, knocking off Concordia.

And now Hieldburg. Now, when can we get close to the Flying Dutchpersons? I'm sure some Knight alums will see this 3-0 start as an indication of a close game this fall.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on September 09, 2025, 11:19:09 AMYes, for sure! And 20 years ago these things happened more often, before we had as many conference games and as much emphasis on in-region/D-III opponents. Our basketball rule still applies for basketball, though -- there aren't any non-scholarship D-I basketball programs.

May I be that guy? Ivys are D1 and non-scholarship, IIRC.

Quote from: ziggy on May 14, 2025, 02:03:51 PMTrine's Emmanuel Megnanglo and Olivet's Porter Kretschman made it into our Top 10 dunks of the year video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgEHwiZsxrY

If you're able, please consider giving the video a thumbs up on YouTube and hopefully it can find an audience beyond those normally plugged into D3 hoops.

The play-by-play is a liar.

Quote from: KnightSlappy on April 15, 2025, 06:38:20 PMBrooks Miller is leaving Trine to take the top assistant job at Central Michigan.

Did CMU hire Coach Miller's spouse as well? She had a solid position @ Trine (I'm assuming she moves to Mt. Pleasant).
Any MIAA coaches pursuing Trine or Ferris head coach positions?

Now they both have one.

Well done.

Quote from: wiz on March 01, 2025, 10:25:34 PMComing from behind and controlling the second half is an indicator of superior coaching.

"Superior coaching" is now 7-8 overall and 1-3 vs Hope in the MIAA Tournament while being the favorite 3 times.

@wiz may be referring to yesterday's match. I'm just reading into the context.
I do like yore supporting Holland's coach–well done.

Quote from: pointlem on March 01, 2025, 11:04:55 PM... coaching wasn't responsible for... the 1 of 12 3-point shooting.

I didn't see Holland replicating their 1st half 6-9 (66%) 3-p shooting in the 2nd. With that quality, Holland needed to put the game out of reach, which didn't happen.

Quote from: oldknight on February 27, 2025, 03:08:22 PMBut we have a family-friendly board, and I want to keep it that way.

I find it odd (keeping it family-friendly) that both Championships have a 7:30 PM tip-off.
Why not back-to-back so we can enjoy each stream? (serious question for you all)

Quote from: oldknight on February 27, 2025, 03:08:22 PMOne more thing before I shut up.

No. Never shut-up. I enjoy it too much for any limit.

Quote from: oldknight on February 27, 2025, 03:08:22 PMOthers have made good followup comments, but I will add a few more. May it continue.

Yes. This is correct thinking.
