mark was probably still in recovery from monday. perhaps we'll see him on friday.
and speaking of returns, where has the trent been? hopefully he'll be back on friday also.
have a good recovery thursday. see you guys on friday morning!

a new victim
it was time for initiations on monday. mark (the other mark) received more than his fair share of blows. and the amazing thing about it was that i was not the contributor to his beatings. for the first time in a long time (maybe ever), i didn't hurt him in any way. he got jeffed, billed, 1 kidney billed, and maybe even bogied. not marked.
perhaps it was because his name is already mark that i didn't inflict. perhaps there's some corollary about a mark can't mark another mark, or two marks cancel each other out. perhaps i've changed, i'm not longer the marker, and others have taken up that slack. after being monday's whipping boy, let's hope he returns tomorrow. i'll be there.

stuff on the floor
friday basketball was another well-matched morning, even if it was only for the sake of the workout. and thanks for the help setting things up again. that went well.
tomorrow is another tear-down-set-up day. senior luncheon midday tomorrow. but look at the bright side: last senior luncheon of the year. we'll need to move stuff off the floor and reset it after. show up a little early. it usually doesn't take too long with a group of us.
and since we know the missing nigerian (aka scorekeeper) CAN make it out when prompted, make sure you ALL send some badger-mail to his inbox "encouraging" him rejoin the group. come back, justin!

hoop friday after all
ok, everyone. since there's been a cry out for the hoops on friday, we'll meet. same time, 5:55a. so, if you've said you would be here, gotta be here. no backing down, no last minute changes. if you weren't at hoops on wednesday morning, i told the guys that unless it's your personal ICU moment you will be there.
now, here's the deal about the court: because the church i closed on thursday and friday, they are setting up the gym for superchurch today (wednesday) of everything except for the chairs. on friday, we'll need to move things out of the way to play, then we'll need to stick around and put it all back including the chairs.
that's it! i'll see the nine of you definites on friday: justin (+2), gene, bogie, big daddy dave, 1 kidney bill, donnie, and me. any others are welcome!

see you all tomorrow morning!

where were you guys? did you guys make trees and leave...like they are right now?
come tomorrow and redeem yourselves. show your true colors...like the leaves are during this time.
we'll be trying to rake as many guys together for two teams...like the leaves in your front yard.

power struggle
on wednesday, there these two teams who fought and ran and battled for the most points. the games were marked with calculated defensive tactics, fast power moves, and cheap shots. in the end, we all crawled back to our cars and thought things went rather well.
we'll be doing this again tomorrow morning. the fun starts at 5:55a.

friday costumes
hoops was a lot of fun today. much running and action and stuff. and it was a nice surprise to see bryce back in the house.
friday is halloween and in the spirit of the day, dressing up is encouraged. but in our case, i think we should dress up as another morning hoops player. i'm coming as pirate dave. you guys have a couple of days to get your stuff together.
see you friday, 555.

cold weather, warm gym
come in out of cold into the warm gym and play some basketball. nothing helps fight the coldness away than running back and forth on a full court throwing a ball at a hoop and beating your opponents down. oh, wait. i guess not that last thing.

cool wednesday
don't let the cold air keep you from getting up for basketball. don't be frightened by the temperatures being lower than you have been experiencing. and don't let wednesday scare you away from the thrill of round ball. fear is a path to the dark side.
monday's seven could be wednesday's eight. all we needed was one more. we'll find out who our extra is tomorrow at 555.

in a world where ten guys show up for basketball on a wednesday morning, only five will walk away having conquered the other half. only five will persevere and hold off a power equal to their own strength. only five will drink their morning coffee confident their efforts were not in vain. but all ten will have sweated as much as only ten guys can...plus pirate dave.

reminder: no hoops friday!
howdy, men!
we had a great tres-a-tres round up this morning. bogie showed off his
stuffz. enjoy the friday off. scheduled gym use plus men's retreat gives
us a break until monday, when it's back to normal! plan for it.
oh, and for those who were staying away because of the borked backboard on
one goal, it's been fixed.

like there's no day after tomorrow
hello, fellow hoopsters!
tomorrow is midweek play, but it's also our final day play of this week. friday is an out day for us, so tomorrow we're gonna play like there's no day after tomorrow...because there won't be. bring yourselves, your cans of red bull, and maybe a pal (since a couple of "not heres" were heard on monday).
we're looking for eight men, ideally ten, to come for some extreme games. afterall, we're playing for two days, right?

two days of hoops
hey, crew!
we only get two days of basketball this week. health fair on friday is going to seize the gym from us for a set up. so, come play your hearts out monday and wednesday, enough to make up for the missing friday.
oh, and monday is a luncheon set up day. come a little early!

friday is a go
i hope everyone enjoyed the sleep-in wednesday morning today. if your body is like mine, it'll definitely need the exercise on friday. i'm packing the red bull in preparation for that event, which is not unlike every other morning i play basketball.
as long as i don't get called, doors will be open probably by 5:45a. come get some warm up time in, stretch out, and get a good parking place. we'll play like it's 1999!

it's over the 24 hour mark since my query and my response wasn't very strong for attendance tomorrow. how about we sleep in tomorrow and regroup on friday?
besides, the other key holders aren't going be there tomorrow morning to open in the event that i get called in the middle of the night for work. there will be coverage on friday.
i'll see you all bright and early on friday!

another count
today's number of seven left a little us feeling a little unbalanced. two or the normals were out and two more of the regs said they won't be there on wednesday. and with me on call this week, my normal open the gym backups are among those missing.
which brings me to need to get a show of replies of those who plan to show on wednesday. so, twenty-four hours from now, i'll send out/post the verdict. you have that long to respond. synchronize your watches.

...and in basketball this week, good team match ups on wednesday. a four-on-four face-off in furious frenzies as a lot of juggling of the round ball occurred. fast breaks, long passes, interceptions, back and forth all morning. nothing works off last night's spicy noodles like games such as this. it's amazing we are still able to go to work afterwards.
tomorrow should prove to be the ending to an amazing week. pitting another four against four for all the meatballs in the spaghetti, all the marsh mellows in the lucky charms. which team will emerge champion and who will walk away the goat. that's what this is all about. you can't get this anywhere else, people. anywhere, except march madness.
see you then (555)!

weekly highlights (so far)
it was a rousing day of hoops on monday. we had a good number of eight (eight is enough for full court) and played our little muscles out. even though my team lost all three games, it was a still some good exercise. the fighting was long, the plays spectacular in a harlem globetrotter kind of way, and water from the drinking fountain was very appreciated after all was said and done.
hoping for another eight on wednesday to keep the execise program alive and my muscles dead. by the way, in an effort of planning ahead, can someone consider bringing a hammer on friday to silence trent's phone so he can focus on the very important games of basketball.
see you all at 5:55a to keep living the dream!

btw, friday is national talk-like-a-pirate day, which of course, is pirate dave's favorite day. be prepared!

i remember
i remember hoops way back in day,
when we had enough guys on full court to play.
it was so much fun; i loved the recreation.
the aerobic exercise provided such an elation.
when the alarm would sound disrupting my sleep,
it was worth the effort to jump to my feet.
i'd throw on my shorts and rush to the gym,
down a red bull and get some practice shots in.
but there's only one echo when the hands split the face,
the clock shows six and and there's still not a trace.
i long for those days again when all the guys would come,
and i wonder if i should keep the plan or just stay home....

we do need to get there a little early and tear down and we'll need to set up again. (monthly senior luncheon time again.)

no man left behind
well, it was indeed good to have justin back. we had score. thanks, justin.
now, the last man on the out (regularly) is d-assassin, who i know is on the mend. if you need some red bull to help that process, just let me know.
and special recognition should go out to high cho factor we've seen the last two times we've played. good playing, mc.
make certain to give drew a hard time for being all absent and stuff. we're missing him too. (did jim skywalker come last wednesady?)

good start
we had a good start to this week's hoops. the return of trent, the re-emergence of greg the jedi, and paul the new guy spiced things up a bit. (paul brought some game.)
we are totally on for tomorrow. be there!

pulled off ten
we pulled off ten people this morning, including the cho. as the rumor suggested, the bryce returned with a vengeance...although we were not all sure who he was venge-ing. and it remains true that, despite as many as we had, scoreKEEPING is the missing nigerian's "x-men" power. (mine would have to be fouling.)
justin, where are you?!

back in the game
we packed in about four good games of four on four this morning, starting out as four on three until the expected arrival of the cho.
word from behind the scenes sources indicate the return of bryce on wednesday. nothing has been said of dennis "d-assassin" knisely. and no matter what, the missing nigerian's scorekeeping powers still leave an unfillable void.
i can't wait to see who shows up midweek.

july 4th sleep in
after probing and polling and basing the attendance on how we've been doing, july 4th has been deemed a sleep in day. so, don't set the alarm. stop by kroger and buy the bacon on thursday evening for the big breakfast on friday morning. and we'll see you guys on monday.
oh, monday is senior luncheon setup day. don't forget to gauge the time.

low week?
there were 3-on-3 this morning in hoops. are there many people on holiday this wee due to the fourth of july?
i plan on being there on wednesday, so if those same three show, i'll make number seven. all we'll need is one more for a good round of 4-on-4.
also, how many are going to be playing on friday morning? sound off "yea" or "nay" so that we can publish whether or not any of use should set our alarms.

recruitment
i'm back to full-on recruitment for morning hoops as we had only three (actually four) show up on friday morning. mc came after the rest of us packed it up and headed to waffle house for smothered goodness. (ok, not waffle house, but gene and i discussed it.)
we start at 5:55a. if you canNOT make it, please me know. thanks.

one or two
we had only nine on wednesday which can be fun, but ten would definitely be better. and after dennis friday-threatening injury, we might need a couple extra.

old, new, and missing
new: brandon
old: sonny and mc
missing: the nigerian
it's been at least two years since sonny's played. don't let him fool you, though. he kept his game up-to-date as a "player for hire" in the underground basketball leagues. it's pretty intense.
how many of us really think our math skillz have improved since the missing nigerian has been out. for the record, he can still keep score with a broken arm, which should be all better by now.
see you all tomorrow morning!

don't forget about fun morning hoops tomorrow.
and don't forget about the little bit earlier time of 5:50a.
even if there is no moving stuff around, you'll get some good warm up time in.

gym update during vbs
according to bill, he found out that the gym should be available next week to play. there might be some things left out which we would have to move and remove back in place before we left. how much that might be is unknown. (if it ends up being too much, but we won't know that until we get there.)
with that in mind, let's try to move the time up a bit earlier. the 5:55a time for vbs week will be 5:50a unless you need stretch time and warm up time. recalculate accordingly to your specifications. remember: the more we have, the less time it takes. (of course, we could get lucky and have no problems.)
i'll see you guys then!

recap
if you missed wednesday, let me tell you how it all went down:
dark team kicked the white team to the curb on four separate occasions. no matter how hard they played, they were tired and suffered greatly. then after four games, they hurriedly rushed from the building claiming fatigue. their tails were tucked between their legs. thank goodness we ran out of time otherwise it would be a five-game-shame.
billg was the first one out of the gym too. he was almost running if it weren't for his tired body. won't it be great when he's finally back in shape?
whoever is left, tomorrow morning at 5:55a.

indiana jones and the last fast break
on a related note, are we going to have a strong interest in waking up on monday morning to play? sound off yea or nay. if we don't have the numbers, i'm not setting my alarm. i need to know.
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
...and the temple of hoops
no archiologist with a last name of jones has anything on our game. the adventure continues tomorrow.
oh, and i think it might be appropriate to officially change uncle dave's designation to "big daddy dave" since he is a re-daddy as of last friday. congrats, big daddy.
remember the number: 555. see you then.

living the dream
i know you all have the same dream as me: waking up early to get to an uncrowded gym to play some uninterrupted basketball with a bunch of guys who are your friends yet play just as hard as you do to give you at the very least the exercise and challenge you crave as a guy.
and just think: we get to do that three times a week.
come live the dream tomorrow morning!
(ps: thanks for the help setting up on monday. what took you guys five minutes took me 35 minutes the night before. we've bought ourselves another month.)

bring it on
drew-lew (aka andrew lewis) was always ready to throw down the taunt of "bring it on" back when he played with us. it's time to bring that attitude to tomorrow's games. i say bring it on! but you gotta show up first. when you show, THEN you can bring it.
court opens tomorrow at 5:45p tomorrow, maybe earlier.

game on
bring a bag of quarters, men, because it's game on tomorrow.
two exciting days of basketball bravery are behind us now.
the final day awaits.
friday.
a day for round ball glory.
a day when some will walk away with more points then others, but all will walk away winners.
a day when we know the week has been a good one, no matter what.
you inspired yet?
come anyway!

the bryce is...?
what color will bryce be tomorrow? the only way to find out is to see what mix of darks and lights we have show up, the true division of the teams. and the final vote? usually bryce. bryce stays middle of the road, always getting picked last. but that's how he prefers things. he's a vote swayer. he brings the balance to the force.
what color will bryce be tomorrow? he'll wear gray. which team he sides with is yet to be seen....

NO HOOPS FRIDAY
instead, here are some suggestions to do when you wake up early out of habit:
see you monday!
- go to cracker barrel and get the old timer's breakfast (before the senior citizens fill up the parking lot)
- go to waffle house and enjoy something smothered and covered
- watch the sun rise (unless it's raining)
- watch the rain fall (unless it's clear)
- hit wal-mart when no one else is there (help stock shelves for fun)
- rearrange the living room furniture before your wife gets up (surprise her!)
- catch up on "lost" (if you are behind like me)
- call a friend on the other side of the world (they're up too)
- go for a run/jog (yeah, right!)
- come to the gym and sit out in the car and listen to the morning radio show until 6:10a then go try one of the above ideas (two for the price of one)
see you monday!
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
last day of hoops (this week)
tomorrow we meet again to do our little dance, to play our little game, to fight for victory, for survival, for freedom! they will never take our freedom! but they will take our friday. gym isn't available on friday. but tomorrow...tomorrow is day we give it our all.
i will be there, ready for you. you can get a piece of me at 5:55a. i'll be wearing red. you should be scared.

march madness is almost over
how many did we have today? good numbers?
i am planning on coming back on wednesday, same bat time. hopefully, hamstring will be okay. speaking of injuries, anyone know how uncle dave is doing?
and speaking of march madness, tennessee squares off against louisville this thursday night near 10p. 10p?! it should be an awesome game. so my next question, i'm sure we'll all probably be watching it. do we want to plan to meet on friday morning? will we have enough awake to play? think about it and sound off.

UPDATE: no hoops tomorrow (wed)
late afternoon message was sent to me letting me know the gym is occupied by inflatables and won't be cleared until sometime tomorrow. we won't be able to play. our contact on the inside got this message late and passed it on as soon as she got it.
we'll have to hold the spring break madness in until friday!

and for those who missed this morning, you should watch this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU.

marty saves the day
on wednesday, similar glitches as experienced monday denied us again. but thanks to dennis (d-assassin) for sending over marty's phone number, a call to marty-man produced a visit from the man who performed technomagic on cards belonging to jeff an me.
thanks to marty for the early morning fix. hoops were back in action wednesday morn and the madness continues tomorrow.

free beatings
i don't know how tired everyone was on wednesday, but greg and i were talking about the strenuous work out two games of man-to-man defense provided. even though we were both happy for that workout, we agreed it was nice to switch to zone the last game for a rest.
mvp was uncle dave, who was playin' the game like pirate dave: inside and outside shots dropping like they were hot, pwning the boards, and driving like a professional on a closed course. it would seem the tables have turned on all who might have inflicted him pain before.
if you would like to get smacked around by uncle dave, come early tomorrow for the beating!

free range hoops
thanks to all who helped set up on monday. that went very quickly. and special points to greg who helped stack all those chairs beforehand.
our monthly monday set up is out of the way for march. this means free hoops on the range for another thirty days. come on wednesday and play on an open, cleanly swept court.
come early for the good parking spaces!

how we all got our groove back
is it safe to say we were all out of sync with normal playing abilities on monday? i know i could have used something to help, although i don't have a clue what it would have been.
good news is that tomorrow we get a new shot at it. i'm planning on playing better. we'll find out if we're gonna get it all together in the morning.
ps: where's dennis?

american gladiators
has anyone seen the new american gladiators? it's pretty fun to watch. kinda intense. wouldn't it be fun to up against one of those guys?
if you answered "yes" to the question above, come play some hoops tomorrow with us. our version won't plunge you into a pool of water...unless pirate dave sets a pick on you.

mixed groups
it would seem that all the big guys ended up on the same team on monday. that was due to strategic (?) planning of non-black shirts by those guys. the way i imagine it is that uncle dave was tired of guarding pirate dave, and blake wanted a break too. they called each other and plotted to wear non-dark shirts hoping the chips would fall in their favor. as a result, it worked. all on the same team. that left me and d-assassin guarding down low...with occassional help from the gene. ("not ever team has the basketball gene.")
i really don't know what to tell you. maybe several should bring an alternate colored shirt to be ready to switch, you know, like the gene does. i dunno. i don't have a good solution for this. all i know is that now that i've mentioned it, everyone will show up in white except me. more ugly odds.
i'll see you all in the morning in all your random colors.

hoops vs. valentine's day
will anyone be coming to hoops tomorrow? or has valentine's day skewed your normal week morning plans?
i'll be there tomorrow waiting to see who shows up.

medical update
our two injured both returned on monday after the sabatical to give their backs a rest. and hopefully we'll see them back the rest of this week--trent won't be back until friday. that leaves billy g, who found himself sufficiently recovering from his bionic knee replacement but now injuring his back last friday. bets are on whether or not we'll see him on friday. five bucks? anyone?
and on another positive note, bryce hasn't suffered to the extent as before as much of a beating. at least, it hasn't seemed that way. he might tell a different story.
i believe everyone else checks out. come tomorrow morning to take your chances on our court. heh, heh.

another free-hoops friday
tomorrow is another free-hoops friday. you get to play for free if you can get there by 6:00a.
remember: if you come early, you have a better chance at getting a good place around the circle. those spots go fast.
see you then!

february one
what better way to say "hello" to february than to get up and play some fun basketball. the weather might be a little crazy in the morning, but at least the court will be dry (unless pirate dave falls down).
we need about ten at six.

monday do-over
i don't know about you guys, but i walked away from monday really wanting to start all over from scratch. so, i'm declaring wednesday the new monday (for this week only). we'll play like the real monday never happened and walk away happier. (this, of course, doesn't mean we'll play any additional times this week.)
who's with me? monday on wednesday morning?

getting to bed on time
i am planning on going to bed around 10:00p tonight to get the proper amount of sleep in order to play a decent three-pack of hoops tomorrow morning.
i'll see you.

interesting mix
we've had some interesting games in recent months. with everybody bringin' out their skillz, passes have been blocked and slapped, shots from all over have sunk to the amazement of some/most, and intercepts have flourished. now is a good time to be playing hoops with us. and so is friday. 6:00a.

snow covered hoops
i doubt seriously that we'll have anything to worry about tomorrow morning, but we'll be there to play some hoops. there is no hotline or anything to call, so just come and we'll have enough.

bryce = foul magnet?
i know we all get pummeled around quite a bit (and i get blamed for a lot of it, right, dave?). however, there is a new whipping boy in town: the bryceman, aka the hitman, aka the bruisee, aka human piñata, aka "thank you sir, may i have another?", aka timex.
haven't gotten a shot at bryce yet? it's probably only a matter of time. and you time could be tomorrow morning.

wow
ok, i have to say that friday's games started off more intense than i'd seen in a while. a lot of running, moving, jumping, passing, shooting, more running, jumping (mainly jim skywalker), and more running. in-tense!
i suppose that's a-ok. we are there for the exercise, right? guaranteed.
i look forward to tomorrow morning.

more haikus for yous
bryce came on monday,
and he took a real beating.
will he play friday?
bill tested his knee.
he might have overdone it
since he skipped wednesday.
jim skywalker jumps
deflecting all the passes...
so does drew, "the hand"!
the games are intense!
we are getting a work out.
(me more with red bull.)

senior lunch set up
to answer your questions, yes and yes.
the questions you ask? what is "are we playing tomorrow?" and "do we need to hang a little after and help set up for the senior luncheon?"
as always, it goes fast with a bunch of hands. see you then!
