For those of you who know D3 football - If Calvin goes 9-1 with their only loss being to Hope, how likely is it that they would get an at-large bid to the playoffs?

Teams can leave Calvin's "shooters" open all day. No one on their roster makes teams hesitate to double team.

Calvin loses on the road to Denison 61-59. Bench only took 4 shots and scored 0 points. Overway with 29 but not much else that stood out.

I 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.  Long ways to go before they are challenging the teams at the top of the league, but win 1 of their last 2 games, and they will finish 4th with a 7-3 record, 4-3 in conference.

Xtreme Hauk, reigning "Freshman of the Year" in the MIAA, is not back at Calvin this fall.  Anyone know where he is attending?

Not a D3 guru by any stretch. What are the chances Calvin will host the first weekend?

Everyone who had Calvin going 4-0 in the stretch of at Hope, Alma at home, at Trine, and Hope at home, raise your hand.

Not sure what you are anxious about.  Hope will win something like 63-3.

Calvin loses its first MIAA game on the road in Kzoo in a heartbreaker 33-31.  Kalamazoo scored a TD with 23 seconds left to win.  Calvin outgained Kalamazoo by almost 200 yards but committed 19 penalties for 179 yards.    

Final score - Calvin 50, Oberlin 6. Still undefeated since 1876! 

And Calvin's first points in school history are scored by the defense! Calvin leads 2-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Calvin's roster has been released and they have an incoming freshman named Xtreme Hauk.  Might be one of my favorite athlete names ever.  Hopefully they are also able to recruit his younger brother Incredible.

Congratulations to Trine!! Nice to have in essence 6 home games on the way to a national title, but it was certainly well deserved. Beating the #1 and #3 teams in the country is no small feat.

Will post tommorrow as I need to comprehend what I just witnessed.  Jubilation for the Thunder, heartbreak for the Pioneers.

That was UNBELIEVEABLE!! And now to be in the Final Four only 45 minutes from campus is quite a luxury.  Best of luck next weekend!

Jalen Overway held without a FG and scores only 3 points total. Calvin loses the turnover battle 16-3 and the game 69-62.

Great season, Knights!!
