    I'm too scared to play in this game, but can I referee it?

    Please, oh please!

    I got gr8-1. I'm short and slow, but I like to battle underneath. :D

    Oh man, this game will be hilarious. I only wish I still lived in Austin so that I could add to the comedy. :D

    Anybody know CPR?

    I swear these dudes probably sweat beer.

    But then I'm fat, too, and the only thing I'd be working would be the video camera... :D

    Man, y'all are lucky.

    I went to shoot around today for the first time in two years. After about 30 minutes, three guys asked me if I wanted to play two-on-two. Sure.

    I lasted three minutes. I got dizzy, my arms got numb, and I saw Jesus.

    The 3rd should be fun!!!

    Gregory Gym is doing IM Ball right now. My team plays on Tuesdays.

    We could always use the courts at the Dell Parmer Campus. Full court, glass backboards, but very unforgiving rims.

    I played 6 straight games of two-on-two today, splitting them 3-3. Aside from jamming my thumb and having blisters on both of my big toes, I never lost a step. I think my wind if finally coming back.

    BTW, there are two courts I know off of Far West. One of them is by a school and the other is in an apartment complex(nice court). I'm down for playing anywhere though.

    You can't reserve those Dell courts. There's usually not that many people playing on them though. However, when a few people are out there, others tend to flock, in my experience at least.

    Damn, I might just make the drive to Austin too! This is going to be some funny stuff!

    I play pretty often, but my game can be described as a big man's game. Too bad I am 5'9".
