BREAKING NEWS! GMG.COM BASKETBALL GAME

2 over 40, defensive-minded old white guy coaches.

I predict a final of 29-22

EDIT: Yes Emmitt, I will actually be a coach on the floor, bring my lunch pail, and have a semi-high basketball intellect. I cannot speak for Harry.

Funny. I was planning on scoring 22-29 points.

Just look at the rosters. Look at those names!!! forvevereagle? CARP? Golden?

Sure, if screen names equal basketball talent.Having met some of these folks, and even played basketball in this game against them, not as intimidating as a name would imply.

Everyone knows that super rad screen names equal awesome ball skills.

I promise Harry, I am in way better shape for the game this year than I was last year. I remember last year when 2 or 3 trips back and forth on the court and I'd be huffing and puffing pretty hard.

Is this that thing where you say you're no good and then catch them sleeping. I like that thing.

Not exactly...if this wasn't being held at a school in the district I teach at, I would be intoxicated while playing and have beer on the sidelines and during timeouts...

Given that, I don't think we know what we are getting. I can't think of a time where THOR played and alcohol wasn't present.

This all backfired. Now I'm afraid of my own team.

Sounds like Harry has a selfish player problem already.

In the spirit of this past badketball season, I think Harry should suspend Rangemadter for the game.

Sounds like a violation of team rules to me.

I think I'll learn my lesson if I am benched until the first dead ball.

Heck no...just go out there and don't do a thing you are coached to do...we can blame it on your coach that way! Guy can't coach anyway and only has limited HC experience. Trust me, I've seen him coach before!!!

Harry, I wouldn't take this blasphemy. I know YOU will wear the number of suits you bring to the game. And I also trust you to motivate/discipline your players in a way that will have them buying into your coaching philosophies.

I trust YOU to do that with your team, although I kinda hope you don't.

Some Questions:

Are we going by NCAA rules? (I have a copy of the Denton 5-7 league rules if anyone thinks that would facilitate a more fair and friendly game)

Is anyone going to get some footage for a highlight/blooper reel? Will there or should there be a mock post-game press conference?

We will play with a set of "modified" rules. Will be available game time. Not overly "complicated". How could they be for this bunch???

By the way...we will be awarding a few trophies at the after-event party, such as:

Most valuable Player - White Team

Most valuable Player - Green Team

Sportsmanship Award

Spirit Award

Player in Need of the Most Practice

I hope everyone has their Academy Award Speeches ready...the Cheer Squad members will be selecting the winners...no lobbying allowed!

Gonna be fun....ready for some out of shape running and beer drinking! Yes...I'm smuggling in whatever I can...

Yes...a little confusion...my bad...registration will begin at 10 .... Tip off about 11:15am...having a mini-cheer clinic as part of the event as well this year...they are using the gym prior to our game...don't want to run over a bunch of really cute little girls learning about cheer leading, right?

Can you find Sarah Stanley, Niko Stojokovich, and Roger Franklin in the photo? I think Troy Kokjohn escaped, but he was there as well.

Great Mean Greener's in that photo. Gave up a bit of their Saturday to have some fun and raise some funds for the UNT Cheer squad. Thanks so much. It's the people that make these things work and why they are so much fun!

Greatness...see you next year for an even bigger and better event!
