Gmg.com Bb Game

KRAM1 · October 29, 2009

Please see my post and others under the topic "Unbelievable" started by UNT90....A GMG.Com "world championship" basketball game has been proposed...I am OK to try to get it together as the admin...see the post...let me know if you are interested in playing/coaching/refereeing/helping with the admin stuff.

Yes, it's open to the ladies of GMG.com too...we'll make it a co-ed team event...more fun that way when the ladies smoke the guys who think they are so very "jordan-esk". If we have enough players from both sexes we can have a men's women's co-ed event...who knows...endless possibilities, but it is up to the GMG.com folks to commit or not. Post here or on my PM site and I'll start getting a list together and let everyone know....

If you are Out of town and have a date or two in mind..let me know as it is "harder" for you to get here than those in the DFW area.

Are we on? Can we do this? Yes, we can....OK, we'll see if we can...

GO MEAN GREEN!

Intrigued, but not likely to be free to do this any time soon. I also don't think my endorsement helps anything.

interested yes, even close to being possibly half way decent at basketball.... no

I've at times gotten hot on the outside jump shot; I'm no good at ball handling. I'd be ok with being sent in as a sub, with few expectations of dribbling or passing well.

I would be down to play.

CMJ · October 30, 2009

Depends on when it is and if i can find another excuse to come home for. I used to have a decent mid-range jumpshot, decent dribbling skills with my right hand(serviceable with the left) and hustled on defense(gotta move those feet!). I'm pretty slow, can't jump, and am slight(thus don't ask me to fight for boards - I'll get killed).

But I haven't played in years, I'd probably be pure garbage now instead of middling to decent.

My team the UNT Intramural basketball championship in 03 and 06(06 team actually won the NCAA Intramural Championship held at North Carolina without me.) It should be noted though... I was both the only white and under 6"2 guy on the team and very seldom unleashed on the court. I've gone from hiting the REC four times a week to not touching a ball in 2 years. I might should leave the J's in the closet.

Ditto. I have decent height, but I would guess that no one wants me to shoot (take my word for it). I can play some reasonable defense though.

EagleD · October 31, 2009

I'm your 6'6" defensive specialist. Just don't let me put the ball on the ground. It will go off my foot. I'm interested in this, but doubt seriously I can make it. Are we looking at any particular time frame?

UNT_92_Fan · November 2, 2009

I am interested and I know I can wrangle up at least 4 to 6 more people from the board and UNT in general. Pink Funk YES. If CBL will make the trip for this game I am MORE than in, I will pay for his flig..... Rudy's BBQ afterwards....

WHOA I almost said I would pay for your flight, what the eff, I need to start drinking again! Sobriety has made me a generous man

OK, looks like we might have enough to play a GMG.Com BB Shootout. I'll start looking into locations around campus and some dates...I will also PM folks to get a "solid" commit...some of the responses here do not really say "yea or nay", and if we are going to do this, and front the costs involved...folks need to yea or nay for sure...given unforeseen things happening later...I get that.

For the "out of towners"...any better time to do this. I am looking at perhaps a March date...you know, March Madness and all that...

PLEASE let me know. This could be a great way to have a game and then an after-game food-fest!

Who wants to coach? We will need 2 coaches who will be willing to draft players when the time comes...any takers??????
