Yeah, just to spare myself the extra embarrassment on the day of, I've decided to put in my excuses for having no skills on the court early:

1.) I haven't shot a basketball in like 5 years

2.) I have a partially-torn rotator cuff (won't say which one) that isn't fully healed

3.) I'm only about 5'11" on a good day

4.) My shoes aren't designed for basketball (yeah, a reach)

All of that being said, I'm in decent shape and I'm a scrapper, kids!

I had a bad game because Ryno's wife was looking at Kid Cairo and not me.

I was too busy watching Zach fondle Kid Cairo while trying to play defense.

Kid Cairo's passes were too hard.

Kid Cairo's passes were too soft.

I missed not having Stink there to laugh at.

if we ever figure out Hoffy's password, think about how many mults we could access...

Drunken Data comes to mind...

One of the mult kings admitted to being 1/2 of the Chaz and Wayne Stylie boys, so Hoffy is off the hook on that one...

Haha, yeah, Kid. You know all about the Columbia College "gym" situation (@ Roosevelt), never liked that so I signed up with the Y instead. Went there when I used to live near Chicago + Ashland. Then they decided to tear the damn thing down.

Gonna head out in a bit and pick up some FRESH THREADS. Meaning, I'll go to TJ Maxx and buy the cheapest possible warm-ups... the kind with the elastic in the ankles and zip-away sides.

No word yet on if my Aaron Gray jersey has shipped.

That's outstanding - can you make sure they are the worst color you can find too? Maybe something in Barney Purple.

Hey - in honor of NSJ (the real one, not the fake one on the board now) I was going to break out my purple Nikes and purple shorts.

Playing on half a gym floor is totally going to throw my game off. I'm used to full size.

But looking at the brightside, there will be less running around so it shouldn't affect us out-of-shape people too much. :D
