Mar 03 2046: Pioneers Make it 30 in a Row - by MisterPIBB on July 15th, 2025

Brent Bianchi, aka "The Bicycle", aka "The Joliet Genius", has his team firing on all cylinders this year, and if you need proof look no further than the squad's current win streak of 30 games. Bianchi, who has been at the school for 27 years has never seen a streak like this, and neither has Grinnell, as the current run is a school record. Future Pioneers will have a hard time topping the success of this year's team. The streak has also resurrected interest in Bianchi's 2029 motivational book Winning at Life the Grinnell Way-- 168 Keys to Greatness, Power, and Longevity, which is currently on backorder in just about every bookstore in Iowa. Redshirt Senior guard Kahil Hayes promises that this is just the beginning. "Believe you me, I am going to see to it that we'll win 30 more in a row for coach."


Dec 09 2034: Is this thing on? - by MisterPIBB on October 14th, 2023

I am not sure if this will work, because we don't usually post "Press Releases".. but we couldn't help but notice a message by another team re: their game with us on Jan 4. All fans are welcome to attend as we will be giving away smiley face buttons to all in an effort to spread cheer. It should be a fun time. Students in our Computer Sciences Degree program have run simulations of the event in advance thousands of times and are predicting a 24 point victory. Yay for Grinnell.
