    I propose we have a pick-up game this month. Grega (Boki's little brother) is in town and he would be very interested in showing up. We might be able to go out for food afterwards, or we could play at a park where we could cook out.

    Suggestions for places are welcome. Heypartner mentioned Moffet park before. Also, finding a date that will work for a lot of people may be tough. I'm going to throw December 28th out there because a lot of the college people will be back in town, most people have time off, and wouldn't mind an excuse to sneak away from all the company for a few hours.

    Please respond if you are interested, and please suggest other locations and dates in December. I think this would be a fun way to welcome Boki's brother to Houston, and let him meet a lot of the cc.net people.

    Tell Boki to come, too. The way things are going, it'll be the only action the poor guy sees all season. :(

    Boki is the com mon nickname for variations of Boris in Slavic regions. Bostjan is not a common variation, or even a variation, but its nickname is Boki, as well.

    It's similar to calling Nicolas ... Cole. It is a common nickname.

    B, are you kidding about speaking to Grega?

    btw: it shouldn't be that hard to play in the Rice gym during break, but it would be $3 apiece. The upside is that that would come with access to all facilities, including a locker basket/showers, any other sport, etc.

    If we get a few more Rice alumn, if not students, I don't see any problem getting a lot of visitors into the facilities.

    I would attend. If we do it at Autry Court, I'd be willing to help get people inside. I know enough people that are still at Rice that could make it work (in terms of getting us inside).

    Rice sounds like a great place to me. How does December 28th sound to everyone?

    December 28 sounds good to me. I'll be in Houston visiting family. As long as I wouldn't miss a bowl game of any consequence, I'm there.

    Bring it. I have a score to settle after the humiliating defeat to you in Manny's popularity contest. At least I'll have homecourt advantage.

    Do you guys really think Boki could even get playing time in a pickup game with a bunch of web posters???

    Hell, it may be the only meaningful minutes on a court he gets all year.

    We might not want Boki there after we get schooled by Grega. Speaking of Grega, I want to make sure I'm on his team so I know who to pass to!
