only four
i only heard from four definites for tomorrow morning, so we'll meet on friday.
enjoy the morning off!
checking...
i saw only a few available for play on wednesday, but i wanted to check if we'd have a solid eight committing.
if i see a firm commitment of eight by 5:00p today, i'll open. if you don't see any updates, sleep in tomorrow.
fyi, i won't be playing tomorrow to rest my knee.

say goodbye
last chance to play this year is monday. it's a perfect way to say goodbye to yesterday...and this year. because soon it will be yesteryear. in fact on wednesday, tuesday will be yesterday AND yesteryear. pretty cool, eh?
oh, well. come despite the jokes.
Thursday, December 26, 2013
new?
did you get a new pair of shoes for christmas? tomorrow you can guve them a whirl. we are playing. we should have good crew.
time to work off the candy canes.
Wednesday, December 25, 2013
Sunday, December 22, 2013
open monday
it sounds to me like there is enough interest to play tomorrow, so the gym will be open for hoops on monday.
i know you might be thinking this is a christmas miracle, but i think the miracle will come when we have 10 guys standing around the circle ready to play.
i will always hope...and see you tomorrow morning.

Sunday, December 15, 2013
the week before christmas
i hope your shopping is almost done; but if you are looking for what to get the guys at hoops, then your attendance is all they want.
easy ahopping, eh? i think so.
just come. just do it.
Thursday, December 12, 2013
good crew!
wednesday's crew was a good one including a few new guys.
tomorrow, we hit the courts again with more action packed hoops. although hopefully not as action packed as trent experienced on wednesday.
(hope you're feeling better, dude.)
Tuesday, December 10, 2013
jingle hoops
come play wednesday!
Sunday, December 8, 2013
hoops tomorrow, christmas tonight
tomorrow is hoops as normal, but tonight is west park's second (and final) night of our celebration of christmas.
consider yourself invited to come enjoy the music and celebrate with us. it starts at 6:00p. jeff has a solo, a few of us are singing in the choir, and there are several very fun songs, one which includes the hardin valley academy drum line.
bring your fams and have a warm, dry seat while we sing for you.

calling out
Tuesday, December 3, 2013
still shiny
we didn't put too many marks on the newly refinished floor. it still retains some shine. you can still yet see it tomorrow morning when you come play some basketball.
numbers were good on monday, yet still a few were missing.
wednesday yes!
Sunday, December 1, 2013
new floor!
come check out the new floor! refinished and shiny! it's just begging for hoops to be played on it. we need to christen it. and we should do with a full compliment.
tomorrow!
Tuesday, November 26, 2013
happy wafflesgiving!
while the floor is being refinished, it is a great time to get those thanksgiving waffles from waffle house.
we break in the new floor on monday. enjoy the time off.
Sunday, November 24, 2013
just in case...
if you were uncertain, yes, we are playing tomorrow. it is our ONLY day this week we can play. so, let's make the most if it!
i will be there with hoops shoes on!
Friday, November 22, 2013
monday blowout!
who's up for a monday hoops blowout? it's been a while since big numbers (or just ten). it is the only day we'll be able to play.
so, what do you say? i really want to play again. all in?
Thursday, November 21, 2013
assumed too much?

remember friday hoops?
with all the thursday hoops days, it might be hard to remember when you didn't get up on a friday and head to waffle house rather than the gym. but tomorrow morning's scattered waffles will have to wait! for tomorrow morning, we play hoops!
(you can still have waffles, just after hoops.)
Tuesday, November 12, 2013
another good wednesday crowd
i predict that there will be an awesome wednesday crowd just like last week. good numbers, good games. all you gotta do is show up. so, show up.
keep an eye to the email this week to make sure no changes in the schedule pop up. there should not be any worry, but i just want to you to be alert.
tomorrow!
Sunday, November 10, 2013
good count?
so, do you guys think we can get some good numbers tomorrow like we had on thursday last week? is that possible?
if yes, that'd be great!
who's in?
Thursday, November 7, 2013
quite the posse
wow! we should have thursday play days more often. ten plus guys? well done!
can we do that again on monday? i think the knee will be recovered from this past monday. and with a few for subs, it will be perfect.
remember: NO hoops tomorrow (friday). today was that advance make up day.
Wednesday, November 6, 2013
bonus thursday play
friday is out this week, but there seem to be enough commits for tomorrow. thursday is on, baby!
ps: they miss you bryan and cary! please come back!
Tuesday, November 5, 2013
odd week; need playahz
we are looking at another odd week schedule-wise. friday is out for us but thursday is good if there is enough interest. we need commits for thursday. who's in?
but let's not forget wednesday (a.k.a. tomorrow). it's all regular then, yo. coming to both won't get you laughed at either. and if by chance it did, remember that you are just improving your mad skillz by playing two days in a row.
shout out about thursday! show up tomorrow! be a playah! we won't hate you OR the game!
Sunday, November 3, 2013
again monday?
eleven on friday! great job, guys!
how about monday? can we have that many again? i will be there to play monday.
and we do not have the gym friday (again), so gotta get our two days of play in on monday and wednesday.
is it a deal?

reg sched
how was the waffle house on friday? did anyone go? or did you all sleep in?
well, normal schedule back this week starting tomorrow morning.
se you then!
Thursday, October 24, 2013
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
on tomorrow!
since friday is out for us this week, we are playing tomorrow morning in its stead. how crazy is that! very is the right answer.
it's okay, though since we can then sleep in on friday morning...or go to the WAFFLE HOUSE! you'll probably be up as your body is used to a schedule. eat heartily as you have exercised responsibly for the week.
so, tomorrow then.
Tuesday, October 22, 2013
warm gym available
Sunday, October 20, 2013
cold...er
so, it now feels like fall. if you had your doubts about which season it was, all that has been removed. but you can come get your warm on by playing a game of hoops. that always works.
also, trent presented a MWR schedule this week. that's monday, wednesday, thursday for those who dont remember college printed class schedules. to make this thursday work, we'll need commitments. who is in for thursday?
Friday, October 18, 2013
changes next week
Thursday, October 17, 2013
hoops-free friday
due to an event being hosted at west park this weekend, the gym will unavailable on friday (tomorrow). as such, feel free to sleep in...or GO TO THE WAFFLE HOUSE! it's your choice. i'll leave up to you.
we will return to regularly scheduled hoops next week. enjoy the long hoops weekend...starting at WAFFLE HOUSE.
or not.
whatever.
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
last day this week
come get your game on tomorrow! since we don't play friday, wednesday IS friday for us.
make the most of the week! come play hoops tomorrow!
ps: i need the numbers if i am going to play again. the knee is still sore from friday. kthxbai.
Sunday, October 13, 2013
full house?
everyone should be back from time off making it possible to have decent numbers tomorrow. it will be nice to have all the regulars back in action, right?
and i need to remind you guys that we are only playing monday and wednesday this week. friday, oct 18, is out for us. that makes it all the more reason to play.
ok? good? good. see you all in the morning.
Thursday, October 10, 2013
numbers tomorrow?
we've had some lower numbers this week again. maybe friday will be a magical day? all the guys showing up?
i said earlier this week i might try to pay on friday. and the truth is that if i could play, i would only really be able to get in one game since it would be my first day back. so here's the deal: for me to play, we'll really need about 11 guys, one who can sub in for me and then play the other two games.
this won't work if i am one of six and probably won't if there are only eight total. it would be too much for the knee.
those are the conditions. can we get enough to do that?
Monday, October 7, 2013
feelings
wow! it was hard being back in the gym again and not playing hoops. i shot a while to remind myself of how much worse it's gotten since i have been away, and i all those basketball feelings came back.
i don't know if my knee is up to it yet, but i am going to think about playing friday.
oh, and i came back to see all the players on monday and only had 4. where are all you guys?!
weak.
Sunday, October 6, 2013
feeling shorted
are you feeling like you didn't quite get your money's worth from saturday's football game?
i have a solution: come tomorrow morning and try to get back your few missing points. i am thinking if you win on the court, it might make up for saturday.
think i am crazy? come and see. i might be on to something.
Thursday, October 3, 2013
so close
what? don't know that scale? forgot what it looked like? well, it's posted at the link below. take some time to study it and commit to memory. (trent says there will be a test.)
http://www.westparkhoops.com/2013/05/happy.html
and show up to reach that optimum number!
Tuesday, October 1, 2013
feels good
doesn't it? to be playing hoops again? back to the regular schedule? full court play, cary driving the lane, getting your lunch packed by a dave...those priceless moments.
tomorrow! get that feeling again tomorrow!
Sunday, September 29, 2013
how about some normal?
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
sign up for friday hoops!
trent started a sign up sheet for friday hoops. it looks something like this right now:
1. Trent
2. Jeff
3. Danny
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
trent is being quite optimistic with the full ten slots. but i also know it's not impossible to fill.
normally, i send/post these messages the day before hoops. but this one is going out early to give enough time to be seen and reponded to.
Tuesday, September 24, 2013
meanwhile, back at the gym...
...hoops were happening. epic games being played. but then one day, there weren't any guys. had the epicness waned? did someone take the epic and go home?
hope was not lost. unknown to the absent fellows, it lay dormant, waiting. all that was necessary was for the return of men, the MEN! men who wouldn't settle for merely another morning of groggy slumber. men who strived for adventure, excitement, glory! a glory only found on the court of basketball!
epicness is there for the taking? who will step up? WHO WILL BE THERE TOMORROW?
Thursday, September 19, 2013
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
big hoops day tomorrow!
ok, now that i have your attention, hoops tomorrow.
will it be big? of course it will. so there.

coming to the end of august
we are almost to labor day. in fact , it's a week away. that means we need to know who is committed to playing that day. i realize it's a week away, but we should get this out there now.
do we have a solid eight? more? what say you?

the season of school has begun for kids, but skool was never out for the courtship of basketball, yo! if you haven't brought your moves to the front if the class yet, maybe it's time to step it up.
you'll get your chance tomorrow morning. back your lunch...or have pirate dave pack it for you!

limericks
there once was an early morning crew
who got up before anybody knew.
made their way to the gym,
cuz dave let them in,
and played hoops until black and blue.
these guys live the life of their dreams;
more fun than it really seems.
a basket they needed
and when they had greeted
the broke into light and dark teams.
attendence was a game of roulette
with odds to hedge anyone's bet,
sixteen is too many!
and seven not plenty!
but ten, then no one's upset.

for those of you with the ability to run, you should be grateful! some can't do that and wish they could. if you can outrun trent, go for it. if you can't, you'll hit him.
for those with the ability to jump, be grateful and jump as much as you can. if you out jump mitch, be excited because only a few can.
for those with alarm clocks, set 'em for early and run and jump. and enjoy it.
Thursday, July 18, 2013

just one more day...then you can sleep in on saturday! or get up early and hit the waffle house for saturday morning brunch.
but whichever you decide, basketball first!

happy independence day!
Tuesday, July 2, 2013
fantastic four?
Alright Fellow Hoopsters, Monday did not have good numbers. This may not be a good week for commits due to the holiday. I need to hear from you if your making it at 5:55 in the morning.and this picture was supplied by pirate dave:
I've heard from Trent & Austin. I need to hear from five more guys.................
Speaking of a Holiday week. I also want commits to post holiday hoops this Friday.
Dave
(i really wasn't there on monday, though. not yet.)

i hope you had a good intermission weekend so you could rest before beginning the second half of 2013 hoops.
tomorrow begins a whole new half. are you ready for it?
let's hope so.
Thursday, June 27, 2013
a four game morning
it is too warm to be a three dog night right now, but these are the days for a four game morning. and you know that will make trent happy.
and it's always good to make trent happy.

return
i hope your week off was recuperative. this monday is our return to the court. hopefully, you didn't stagnate while on the break. and maybe some of you were lucky enough to hit a waffle house during the time. whatever you chose to do, i know getting back to hoops at regularly scheduled times will be welcomed.
so, until then.

keeping the numbers
the holiday monday surge of players is always nice. the best part is being able to keep the numbers up after the holiday. that's what we are shooting for tomorrow morning. good numbers.
to help remind you of the fun times here's a pic from monday. i am not sure, but i believe mitch is showing his dance moves to "the dove."
"now is the time on hoops when we dance."
Sunday, May 26, 2013
we play!
looks like we have the numbers for a memorial day play day. tomorrow morning, at the same time(6:00), we play!

trying again
i do have to say that for the 3-on-3 we did have on monday, those were some rather balanced teams. challenge was not lost that morning.
and i promise no setting up for another month.
Sunday, May 5, 2013
perhaps a count
so, call it. yea or nay. need eight for it to count.
Thursday, May 2, 2013

baffled in knoxville
wednesday was sparsely populated with an odd number of seven. we played lopsided teams and came away wanting more on each team.
i know several on travel for work, but numbers should have provided us with enough to break even in that event.
maybe better numbers tomorrow.

i'm here to tell you to make your plans tonight to get to hoops in the morning. don't wait until you wake up and find three trees down on the road of your subdivision. park that car on the road OUTSIDE the subdivision so you can walk to it and drive to hoops.
in other words, i'll see you in the morning no matter what.

to play or not to play...
as a general rule, if knox schools are closed, i've said we won't play. sometimes it's too early at 5:00a for them to call. sometimes they do, however. do we want to make that the rule to live by?
i need some feedback here. dave "the dove" has his own plan for snow covered roads. watch this video to see: dave and snow
UPDATE: they called school off. turn off the alarms and sleep it in.
