Popular Post blazingbob Posted August 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) For money anything can be arranged. Draftkings will be setup at courtside to take wagers on which team will win. Doug Schmells team has requested that a keg be setup courtside instead of gatorade. Roy has requested that the musical entertainment be Alice in chains and Led Zeppelin. Alex Reece has requested a pair of 80's basketball trunks to throw the old guys off their game. Gator has requested a oxygen tank and coke zero for revival.

Is there a court that you know that we can play at (preferably in door)? Like a local gym that is available? The hard part is finding a suitable place. In Rosemont we have the fitness center. We've also played in San Diego outside behind the convention center on SD Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to de-rail the thread from WW, but if someone wants to organize a basketball game during Baltimore, start a new thread and count us (2 people) in!
