[MannyIsGod]

Brent, my old roomate is an officer in the Trinity PD. I have connections, man. ;)

[Ginofan]

SW, when are you going to join us girls for Trinity Basketball Cocktail Hour?

Make sure you get to the liqour store BEFORE 9pm this time :lol

[sa_butta]

Brent, my old roomate is an officer in the Trinity PD. I have connections, man. ;)awsome Ill do my best to be there. I would have been willing to crawl through window to play in a gym .:lol :lol

[spurschick]

Make sure you get to the liqour store BEFORE 9pm this time :lol

I went to the liquor store yesterday and am well stocked up.

[Kori Ellis]

So this is on for Wednesday for sure (and off for tonight)? If so, I'll go tomorrow.

[sa_butta]

can we get a list going to see how many we got playing.

[MannyIsGod]

Hey guys, I don't want to rain on anyones parade...

But before you go bringing liqour, just realize where you are going to be. I don't think John would say anything, but realize where you are, be discreet about it, and don't over do it.

Also realize you all have to drive home.

:lol We're not bringing a full bar! And I don't think anyone is planning on getting liquored up. Just a little something in the Manu Travel Mug to pass the time away. :drunk

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, you've seen Mandy in action, are you sure she's not bringing a whole bar?

I'm just asking you guys to be discreet about it.

[MannyIsGod]

IT is off for tonight and on for sure tomorrow.

[spurschick]

I'm just asking you guys to be discreet about it.

Of course :spin

[King]

I'll plan on going tomorrow, but I have to work the Astros game that starts at about 9. It's only like five minutes away, and I'll come, but I won't be there at 1030.

I'm just asking you guys to be discreet about it.

Hey i'm not an alcoholic! I'm just hospitable and make sure everyone has a good time!

[Shelly]

You don't want tipsy cheerleaders? :eyebrows

[spurschick]

Damn, I wish I hadn't deleted that PM where you threatened to make me drink three shots more than anyone else if I didn't come out to Trinity that night.

to stay awake at work.

[CaptainLate]

So this is on for Wednesday for sure (and off for tonight)? If so, I'll go tomorrow.

Is this at Trinity U? I used to live around there. If it is, maybe y'all will be playing when I'm in town visiting. I used to be pretty good...played HS ball (at Edison) and jr. college (at SAC) back in the 70's. But I'm so outta shape now that the only thing I'm (still) good for is passing the ball. LOL

[MannyIsGod]

We're all pretty average. For the most part everyone plays pretty smart ball, though. There isn't too much of the And 1 crap you see everywhere now. Everyonce in a while we get a ball hog or 2 that comes along, but its not a big deal.

[King]

Pretty average nothing. Some of us belong in the L.

Just switched games, I'm now doing the Rangers at 7, so I'll be there.

Actually, there's more actual ball movement at these games than anyplace I've ever played, so it's a lot more fun. I'd say we're between good and pretty good, with nobody that's actually bad.

[sa_butta]

Thats cool I was just wondering. I am not Mr. Basketball or anything but I can hold my own on the court. I never played HS ball but I have played in parks all around SA and NB for a long time. I was in the Hoop it Up Tourney in Dallas two years ago and had lots of fun.

[hotsauce0987]

what is up i guess that i am in tomm and will bring like 3 friends.

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty average nothing. Some of us belong in the L.

Yeah, ask LJ about Orange Shirt. :lol

But for the most part there is good ball movement which , as you said, makes it a lot more fun.

[SpursFanDan]

What? Am I a ball hog?

[hotsauce0987]

i suck the last time i need to go back and redeam myself for sure. damn i was soo sore the next day. but it was fun.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh yeah, we're not going to have the gym for much longer. Once the students come back we won't be able to play during nights.

So, we should start thinking of places to play. I don't care if we play outdoors, but if not we could rent a gym on a weekly basis for a few bucks per person. Especially considering the amount of people we have showing up now.

Just something to keep in mind.

[Dex]

Stick me down as a mayhaps. I should know by tomorrow.

[jabol130]

I'll try to make it

[SpursFanDan]

Hey, LJ, what about the dude in the orange shirt?

[timvp]

The ball movement out there is good. The players who don't pass stick out pretty bad. But I guess if you grew up in the And1 era, you don't really know what passing is.

I haven't played basketball on a regular basis for about four years, so there is a lot of rust to knock off. If I can ever reach the level I was at when I was 19-20 years old, that'd be awesome. But it won't be anytime soon.

:shootme

[timvp]

Hey, LJ, what about the dude in the orange shirt?

Not you. Some other guy who wore an orange shirt who came out a couple days ago.

[CaptainLate]

We're all pretty average. For the most part everyone plays pretty smart ball, though. There isn't too much of the And 1 crap you see everywhere now. Everyonce in a while we get a ball hog or 2 that comes along, but its not a big deal.

Full court if you have enough?

[King]

We usually have enough to run full, but it's just not fun to do. It's all fast breaks, and horribly executed ones at that. It's all 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 breaks, and it's just not fun.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Tell us, LJ. :lol

[Dex]

For pickup/casual games, I always found half-court to be more exciting and competitive. Like King said, otherwise it just turns into a game of fast breaks and full court passes.

If we wanted to run, we'd organize a track meet. Or just do suicides all night. :lol

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I prefer not to get my ass kicked on my birthday, thank you very much.

Maybe sometime next week.

[tw05baller]

i wish i could come to these things

[batman2883]

Damn it someone pick me up and ill go

[sa_butta]

Damn it someone pick me up and ill gowhere are you at?

[MannyIsGod]

So, the people in so far are...

Me
John
Lee
LJ
Chris
Steve
Brent
Foo
Quick Fucker and his 3 friends. :lol

I know I'm missing people, but those were the maybes

[sa_butta]

Ive been to Trinity but where is the gym located could someone Pm me directions. Manny your box is full.

[MannyIsGod]

It is empty now. I didn't realize the limit had been lowered to 50.

[Kori Ellis]

It is empty now. I didn't realize the limit had been lowered to 50.

It hasn't :wtf

[MannyIsGod]

My inbox has a limit of 50!

[MannyIsGod]

Brent, come down 281 South, exit Mulberry/St Marys. Take the turnaround. The access road crosses over 281 and becomes Stadium Drive. Right as you get across 281, take a right (kind of like another turn around. Then take your first left and park in the parking lot as soon as you come in.

We all meet in front of the building across from the Field/Tennis Courts.

[sa_butta]

[Dex]

Nah, I read a little about what happened, though. Nothing I haven't seen before.
