the 2009 final day of hoops

we've had quite a reunion in the past few months.  dennis "d-assassin" came back to us late this fall.  then before christmas we were visited by two old friends, drew home from school and one-kidney bill all the way from portland.  (1kb topped us off at 10 players last wednesday when we needed it.)  then this past week, we saw the return of the one and only missing nigerian...and his brother too.  it's nice having the old gang back together again.

if you all are still in town, join us for tomorrow's final day of round ball for this calendar.  it will be most excellent.

two days to recover

christmas eating has taken it toll on all you guys.  denial isn't the option.  three games of hoops is.  same time.  keeping it simple.  see you then.

oh, in case you were curious how the song ended:

...my teammates gave to me:

sleeping in till twelve,
  one more game to eleven,
    ten cans of red bull,
  nine ball cage padlocks,
    eight guys (at least),
  a seven minute stretch time,
   six fouls per man,
     five oraaaange rimmms!
        four nylon nets,
          three point shots,
            two nike airs,
              and everyone arriving early.

on the ninth day hoops day of christmas...

...my teammates gave to me:

  nine ball cage padlocks,
    eight guys (at least),
      a seven minute stretch time,
    six fouls per man,
      five oraaaange rimmms!

still hadn't heard back from anyone about the next couple of weeks.  if no one has feedback, i'll assume we'll only play on monday and wednesday of the next two weeks.

on the eighth hoops day of christmas...

...my teammates gave to me:

 eight guys (at least),
     a seven minute stretch time,
   six fouls per man,
     five oraaaange rimmms!
   four nylon nets,
     three point shots,
       two nike airs,
          and everyone arriving early.

no votes on the week of christmas and new year's?  i figure a MTW run was a quite the hit to our bodies.  what about a MWR (monday, wednesday, thursday) mornings?  does that sound appealing?

   six fouls per man,

first monday of the last month of 2009

can you believe this year is almost over?  now's the time to make the most of what's left by coming out tomorrow.  of course, i'd say this about wednesday and friday too.  in fact, just plan on coming all this month to make the most of it.  don't let this year fade into the past without a proper memory.  remember the alamo!

a week ago...

just think: a week ago was thankgiving and we didn't meet for basketball on friday. we slept in or got up to shop. (if you were my sister, she was out ALL NIGHT shopping.)

but that was then and this is now. tomorrow is normal friday hoops, just like we are accustomed. normal times, the usual guys...with maybe a few changes. flash should be back with us next week and an new guy might join our ranks (if he can get up early enough).

come early to warm up (and stretch)!

more of that

it seems that one day wasn't enough to deal with the thanksgiving stuffing of last week.  tomorrow will be another day to come purge the critical mass you might have acquired last week.  i know i'll need it.

be careful out there, especially when playing unsanctioned games on off days (gene).  the injuries could impact conference game days.  :)  see you all in the morning.
