Rumble in the Jungle..... I like this idea a lot we can make it a charity event. Each player pays $20 to participate winning board gets to donate the money to their charity of choice. Winner gets bragging rights til next season. An open ended challenge is issued here. BEB I know you're reading this. So start hitting the gym....

What about those of us who participate on both....can I hold out for the best offer? Long term contract, maybe 1st class tix on away games?

Can you pass the physical mr. paper mische? haha. We will gladly accept you on the Jungle team. Remember you're still a student!

Ha!  As of today I would pass the physical to play but probably not an MRI.  Like Pedro, I am refusing MRI as part of my contract signing...

I'd love to get in on that. 

BEB will be begging Norm to check into the number of years of eligibility I have left  ;)

Maven would insist on coaching the BEB team...   and JJ can lead the Jungle...

Crafty veteren vs. the young gun....


My big question..    where would Southern Johnny want to play..?

i am a little too short to play power forward..    been a guard my entire life.. . 
   more like a poiint guard with a little extra bulk. .  kind of like John Bagley....

I am definitely playing for BEB..     I could never be on the same team as OLD RED....

so you're in for a game though, I really think we can make this happen for a positive outcome
Title: Re: Johnny Jungle vs BEB Hoops Challenge

I would be down for this, will play for BEB and I think Hit would be interested as well.

The only reason BEB would lose would be solely because while on the floor at the same time, everyone on the floor would just rip each others throats out, rather than play the game.  A realfan/Old Red one on one matchup BEB/JJ matchup would be insane.

I would def be down if it was at a date where I could get down to the city.  I wouldnt mind committing some hard fouls on some of BEB's finest !!!

ok so the word is out to BEB and they are down to play lets get some rosters assembled.

Title: Re: Johnny Jungle vs BEB Hoops Challenge
Post by: HTGS_says_shutup on December 04, 2007, 10:31:31 PM
we will have to set something up.  perhaps we can all exchange personal emails so all the participants can know whats going on with this event (if it goes well we can make it an annual thing and i love the charity idea).

another option is to have a spokesperson for each team and they can exchange messages and fill their respective teams in on what the deal is.

if we were to have a spokesman, i think Danman would be the guy for BEB.  lets try to set up a date asap.  i am guessing after new years because it will be tough for you guys with finals and then the holiday are here.
Title: Re: Johnny Jungle vs BEB Hoops Challenge
Post by: Tha Kid on December 04, 2007, 11:23:48 PM
I might have to play with BEB.  THey are struggling to get a solid team, and my posting is done primarily there.

Next week at some point I will have a BEB t-shirt, a Redmen.com t-shirt, and a Johnny Jungle t-shirt...being worn on 3 supermodels, and whichever one I kiss is the team I will be playing for.

Novel idea, right?  Too bad a highly touted high school recruit didnt think of this idea first, it woulda been great!
Title: Re: Johnny Jungle vs BEB Hoops Challenge
Post by: JohnnyJungle on December 05, 2007, 12:17:24 AM
tha kid, you know i love but play for BEB, I want 100% loyals and plus I know we will definitely have an overwhelming amount of kids that will want in this game.

htgs, glad you're aboard on this and I think it would be great to make this an annual thing. You'll love the plug this event got on jungle radio its on towards the latter part of the show.
Title: Re: Johnny Jungle vs BEB Hoops Challenge
Post by: Dan on December 05, 2007, 12:34:00 AM
I will gladly accept the role of BEB spokesman.  Sadly right now I cannot login to the BEB due to technical difficulties on the board, but that's temporary I'm sure.  JJ, I'm sure you will be the JJ spokesperson.  Just get your team rosters assembled, and have them provide an email address that they will check so that the information regarding the game will be easily found.  And, please try and get input from your players on when the game should be played.  Location is up to the rest of you, you know where the best place to do it is.

And to respond to the BEB thread...I am 6'/6' 1". 
Title: Re: Johnny Jungle vs BEB Hoops Challenge
Post by: JohnnyJungle on December 05, 2007, 12:44:56 AM
Yea I will get the word out... the forum is still a fairly new concept to most people who are in the jungle. A lot of discussion is done in person as opposed to here so the game next saturday will be a good day to recruit. If you listen to Jungle Radio you'll hear that we are promoting this event.

you should try and convince some of the admins at SJU to let you use the carnesecca arena court for the game

That would be cool...

I'm doubting that though.  Anyone around on either site who could pull that off?

i think they just have to hear my name and that bet would be off.

it would be nice to get an indoor court though. i would prefer not to play in the cold.

i think due to insurance reasons they wont let us use the court.  if we were ti use it we may have to sign a waiver of some sort.

this was posted by "marillac on Big East Boards-

Quote
Hit, I can setup a very nice gym for this game in Manhattan. Tell Tarzan over at the jungle, that the only eligible players will be posters that posted before the challenge was issued. I'd rather play the game off campus, becuase that will force the diehards to play instead of some hungover 6'6 student that just rolls out of bed and throws down a dozen dunks on us.

I want this game to be between actual posters. It is really pointless to have it be between students that they know and good basketball players that we can get. I mean, we both could get guys to play for BEB that would make this a 100 pt blowout and I don't want that
.

let us know if it works for you guys.

As I have been busy, my agent just emailed the above quote from you, JJ.  You can bet it will be up on my locker before the game. I'm 100% loyal to the JUNGLE but message boards I don't see as any rivalry.  Thanks for starting one.  BRING IT!!!!   ;D ;D

I agree with all of the above stated. St. John's will definitely not allow this because of insurance issues, also outdoor courts = concrete and God forbid, the Manhattan court sounds great and I agree posters only. This would have to be after the winter break so sometime mid January or early February would be fine.

maybe we can do it a saturday that sju doesnt have a game so we wont miss it.  we also will have to see when marillac can fit us in.  it is very nice he is doing this for us.

yea very nice indeed. I don't think we should limit roster sizes either the more the better as we are doing this for charity. If we have to do A/B teams and break it down like a rec league where A team plays 2 quarters and B team plays 2 quarters so be it.

screw that a and b team stuff.  you play to win the game- best 5 out there.  we can do 12 minute quarters.  two pointers and three pointers...maybe we can get referees for this shindig.

From What I am reading on the two boards, the National Guard may be more appropriate.  This is starting to take on an air like The Longest Yard, which team will be the Mean Machine?

Question regarding this game...

Who can play...?

There needs to be some limitation on who is eligible to play..     it should only be for posters who were registered the day the challenge was issued or agreed upon...

yea we should be alright. A lot of guys haven't signed up for the new board yet with finals going on and stuff and off week for basketball things have been slow to get going. We had 400+ members on the last forum and only about 150 or so now so give it time after finals.
