Go Calvin!

Today we joined with 40 other Calvin College supporters to watch The Big Game at a local satellite location.  Alumni and fans of all ages were there to eat and cheer on our Knights.  We enjoyed meeting some new people and filled our Dutch Bingo cards by the end of the day. (One lady has a daughter in Chicago who married a guy who is the brother of a girl who was a year ahead of us in school. Another guy also knows the family of a husband of a cousin. Impressive, huh? :) 

The girls were excited to wave their maroon and gold pom-poms, but lost interest in the game shortly into the first quarter.  A bag of activities and some super-fun-to-climb bar stools helped pass the rest of the time!

While Calvin led for the majority of the game, at the end it got very exciting as Hope caught up and eventually won.  I'm a tad disappointed to not see my school win in this epic rivalry, but to be a part of this big group clapping, cheering and yelling at the TVs was an experience.

When the game ended, all the alumni got together to take a picture.  Calvin would be proud of our diversity: I was the only class of '99 representative.  It was a fun Saturday!  Go Calvin!
