I'll do my best to get the gym for us. This would be just inside Chicago city limits, next to Franklin Park. 8029 W Forest Preserve Ave. Come one, come all. Basketball talent not a prereq. Post your best Saturday afternoon availibility between now and Thanksgiving. |

When are you thinking? I'm out 11/8 and 11/15 for Iowa games but am generally available since I can dump the kids at my parents and give my wife a break. |

Is it really next to Franklin Park? Hell if I know, but one of us needs a map. |

Hiawatha is between Addison and Forest Preserve Drive just east of Cumberland. It's closer to Norridge and Elmwood Park than Franklin Park, but it's not far from there. |

first off, I'm coming over 65 miles. So any gas complaints, I second KC. It is closer to Elmwood Park, I guess. I was able to rent the place last thanksgiving. Does Nov. 22 work for everybody then? |

I'm just concerned because, I'm more of a forward but at 6' and playing against the members of the board, I will be forced to play the role of the Muggsy Bogues point guard and my "handles" aren't what they used to be. |

This may actually have a chance at happening. The one thing that all of the other "Hoops" lacked was a gym. Now we have one. We'll all have to work a little harder to come up with excuses for it not happening this time.... |

Put me in the "willing but unsure" group. Very interested, just a lot of other things tugging at my time. I'll try.... Killer V wrote: The one thing that all of the other "Hoops" lacked was a gym. Um, would now be a good time to ask if anybody has a ball? What happens if 30 people show up? Do we just get a keg and call it a day? |

This almost seems like it's gonna happen...almost. Too bad FavreFan isn't here to see this. I wonder what happened to that guy. And I miss Bulldog Scott. And I miss Killer V too. |
