Taz and I discussed this Sunday, and I actually think most of group has matured enough to accomplish this...Back in the Obstacle days there was def no way as avg Panda wake up time was 2pm at BEST...

BBGs for a good 3 hours...Noon means noon, not 1230 or 130...Noon to accomplish some good ball as the summer dwindles, and football season is almost upon us...

If we can get a min of commitment of 12 for BBGs at noon, I will grill for the crew...

Lets make it happen! 12pm Central Standard Time Sunday, Aug 17th!

Roll Call!

So says the man who announced he had just woken up on Sunday at 5pm??? Who has been Zombie LJ for the whole season thus far?

I will give you credit for great ambition. However, even in our youngest and friskiest days, Pandas could do 1-1:30 (which is why you say noon, I get it).

Another problem--Arrrgosy could function with 4 players--4! You're asking for 12. Don't see how you'll get em.

Prophet of doom that I am, I suspect you might get 8 to commit. And someone will blow it. Maybe more than one. So the rest of us will wait around, for hours, trying to make something happen. At best, scrubs will be gathered to fill in the gaps, because, in my philosophy, playing is better than sitting around and not playing.

Miracle of miracles, I showed up at 2:30 once or twice this year. Even when I arrive at a "respectable" time of 3-3:30, I'm always having to push to get people in the pool this year. And I think actual game in every case got going around 4-5.

Here's a suggestion that has, in years past, always motivated me and my boys--how many sanders can you bring out at "noon," Lippy? You bring between 4-6 of them, I bring an equal number of Pandas, we do best of 3 then mix up the BBG no matter which way it goes thereafter, and maybe, just maybe, we can make it happen.

Would be fun, too, because my hate for sanders has declined this year since guys like Javie (correct spelling) and the tall guy who plays pepper frequently with Misty have come in and enjoyed themselves, without commenting loudly how much water volleyball sucks. Imagine that! Next thing you know there will be peace in the Middle East!

For what it's worth, I will accept your proposal, with the caveat that noon means kickoff at 1 on 8/17. Me and mine have have a considerable commute to consider, you do not.

So, there ya have it. Now we are 2. You have doubled your numbers. 10 to go...

This may all go terribly wrong and turn out to be 5 of us there at noon with nothing on the grill and no BBGs to be had, but count me in.

Since the intention is to have good competitive games with nobody else around and no sun in our eyes, it's worth a try.

We are up to 4.

That's close to when I'll have to go to Dallas for a week. I'm pretty sure I can at least do 12-3pm. Put me at 75% and I'll know more closer to the date.
