    Nowhere really. I was able to teach myself by trial and error.

    Damnit...my knees are in bad shape today. Even if the holidays weren't coming up, I doubt I would be able to make it to play for a couple weeks at least. I really need to lose some weight. I still play like I did when I was 30 lbs lighter and now my knees are not happy about that extra weight to lift.

    And Yaozer, don't apologize for any mistakes, man. As moes said, we are out there to have fun. Hell, I must have gotten blocked down like like 10 times by that one tall dude that ClutchCity brought along, but for some reason my dumb ass kept shooting the ball.

    Oh well, at least my back feels fine. :)

    Hahah yall are OLD. Someone should bring a little cd/mp3 player or something and play some work out music so we can do a group stretch.

    I don't think I'll be able to play the side rims for a while, I keep on repealing the skin on my middle finger.. and I only got ONE dunk at the end and it pealed my skin. DAMN YOU RIMS!

    Screw that. We just need to loop "Eye of the Tiger" over and over and over again. You know you want to.

    Video is coming at some point tonight. Likely very late, because I just got home. Currently uploading from the camera and then I have to cut and upload to YouTube.

    Should I post it here or revive the video thread?

    how is it on the weekends?

    seriously, if it's open to the public and they're arn't a lot of people, i think we should change the location to UST.

    UST has gotten a lot better about checking IDs - but most weekends its just student workers (no official staff) who don't care. Since they re-did the court (recently installed hardwood) and always have a problem with people stealing basketballs, it is hit or miss if they will check IDs.

    The other thing about St. Thomas is that the gym is closed frequently for other events - so it is worth it to call ahead before making the trip out.

    Most of the people that play there are former students or have been playing there for years - so even the newer student workers will recognize these people. I am not trying to dissuade people from playing there - just want to give some warning that people might get hassled if there is a new group of 15 to 20 people showing up to play.
