the war starts tomorrow

tonight marks the beginning of the constant battle between keeping in shape and eating treats. with all the leftover candy on tap lasting from tomorrow morning until thanksgiving, you will need the exercise outlet to maintain a low- or no-gut condition.

then from thanksgiving to christmas will be leftovers and all the holiday treats popping up on radar. the next few months will be critical.

but don't worry. hoops is there for you. it can be your ally in the war against the gut threat.

from the all the email chatter yesterday and today, it sounds as if there will be a good crew there tomorrow morning. start the war off with an advantage! plus it's loads of fun.

better than four ell

it was reported that on monday only 4L showed up to play. we can do much better than four ell! i want to call ell (kal-el) all of you out there to not let sleep be your kryptonite! don't be weakened by fatigue! i am planning on being there to play. if we could get eight or even ten, that'd be super!

when people ask how many showed up on wednesday, let's them 10L!

\o/

ps: if you are not inspired at all by the references above, perhaps this theme will inspire you to be there tomorrow:

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!

no hoops friday

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.

warm gym available

this should be news to your eyes! cold mornings are daunting, but a warm gym is inviting. and you are invited by the gym and by me to come play some basketball.

and speaking of invitations, i still need an rsvp on the thursday morning play proposal. i know trent is, and cary voted a yea. pirate dave was a strong possibility. who else? let me know soon!

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?

changes next week

i just wanted to let you know that the gym will be unavailable again next friday due to another weekend event requiring early set up.

i'm telling you guys this now so that you can plan to be there on monday and wednesday in full force to make up for the missing fridays.

i hope you had a good waffle house morning, for those of you who went. if you missed the opportunity, you now have another waffle house friday next week.

see you monday!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

so close

the count on wednesday sounded like it feel just a bit short of the optimal number of people to be in the good category on trent's scale of optimum numbers.

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.)

and show up to reach that optimum number!

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!
