You are welcome. I had not heard of the Illinois fans adapting the tradition for their coach, Groce, who was a Taylor coach and player. Here is the link to that story from earlier this year:

My small NCCAA Christian college Southeastern University did this for one of their games. It was a blast

There are lots of very cool things in collegiate basketball. One of the very best is the Calvin–Hope rivalry.

At the Div 1 level I have always thought that Cinti-X was the very best. I would spend $'s to see that one in person and I have no dog in the fight. Duke-UNC is good, but not like that.

Awesome!

I like the "running of bulls" thing that one group did.



side note. tactically, I disagree with the opponents coach calling a timeout after the made basket.

Didn't they almost cancel this after last year? Was this the game with the big melee or am I missremembering?

Yes. This is what you would call a heated rivalry.

I thought this was a thread about the f$u student section at last week's beatdown by the Gators.
