NASA vs Borderland

discglfr05 · Post by **discglfr05** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 3:22 pm

Figured I'd create an official thread for our upcoming February challenge at Borderland. Feb's a tight month as far as scheduling goes...lots of folks planning vacations, lots of ice bowls and of course, SB weekend.

Thus far, the best availability for my team is Feb 2nd

Feb 16th is the Buff Ice Bowl

You sent me two completely different dates!!!

It's been excluded in discussions to date, but I'd even consider Superbowl Sunday, the 3rd. I think it's a 4:15 game, right? Plenty of time if we start early, but I guess it depends on drive time to whereever you'll want to be. Could be a fun day!!

NASA has lots of conflicts with weekends of 9/10 and 23/24. I won't be at Buff Ice Bowl (and could play on the 17th), but understand if folks don't want to play the same weekend.

Is March 1/2 off the table? Feb is a short month and March has 5 weekends. It would be nice to allow a "Feb" match the first weekend in March.

march 1 is the tourney 54, the 2nd would be brutal but i'd do it.

Why not February 3rd?

It won't conflict with John's Ice Bowl and it seems as if most of our challenges have been on Sunday's. I had originally thought you guys were talking about the February school vacation week which would have sucked for me ... I'm lobbying for the 3rd, I know it's Super Bowl Sunday but if we get started early, we'll be done in plenty of time :wink:

I am appalled at how this has gone down. Dates were suggested and then a totally different date was put on this discussion page. No communication from the NASA captain, just a change on his part. Get it straight and communicate with the liason from the other team before going public. I don't care when we do it! This just gave us some good bulletin board material for the challenge.

Good luck Matt, hope you find a date that works. Let me know what you guys come up with and I will try to make atleast one round.

:twisted:

Sorry Matt, my bad...it's been difficult to settle on a date for Feb. Nothing is set in concrete yet so there's no need to get worried. As I stated in this post, Feb 2nd is our best availability ...not our only availability....did you catch that Mike?...relax bro :roll:

Zoodisc82 · Post by **Zoodisc82** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:34 am

Sorry Mike,
The reason for going public was to get team borderland involved in finding a good date that works for the most people. It does not matter if we get a date amoung us and it does not work for team borderland.
sorry for the confusion.
Matt

I sent an email out to the team about having it on the 2nd...and the team didn't get back to me.

I then took the coorespondence from NASA with the 17th and 23rd as dates, and sent that out to the team. I want to get a Saturday challenge for members of the team that have a hard time doing Sunday challenges. That being said, here is our avialability for the dates: (still waiting to hear from a few people.)

I have 5 available for the 17th with two additional maybes.
I have 6 available for the 23rd with two additional maybes.

If we can do the 2nd or 3rd, I would be down. I am just concerned that if we try for super bowl sunday, we wouldn't have enough time to finish and get everyone home in time for the game.

IF it helps.....Super Bowl is not until 6:17pm.

Matt Stroika · Post by **Matt Stroika** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 10:38 am

Since the park closes at 4:30, this gives everyone an hour and 47 minutes to get home.

I would suspect that if we started at 9-10 we would be done by 330-4.

Mike Dussault · Post by **Mike Dussault** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 11:08 am

Unless we can all get together and watch the big game closer to the course. I can check with the wife about my place, although I can think of better options. :wink:

You know I'm always down with that and extra bonus ... I'm picking up a barrel of Sierra Nevada this afternoon for the bar -- mmmmmmm :drunken:

By the way Matt, I might be able to do half a day on the 2nd if need be ... Saturday's are hockey days :hockey:

Mike Dussault · Post by **Mike Dussault** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 12:30 pm

If that is the case Rob... I am in for SB Sunday!(MMMMmmmm... Sierra)

Agreed, I've already told Erica she needs to drive me home from Rob's :shock:

If you guys do superbowl sunday, I assume Ill be running league...? Course will be somewhat congested?

Matt DeAngelis · Post by **Matt DeAngelis** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 1:03 pm

Either that or league won't go on. The course will be very busy that day and I would suggest not having league that day.

You soft little baby. Want some french cries or a waah burger? I know having a second kid is tough but did you ummm also start wearing diapers? I thought you were some tough guy? :lol:

Time to change your diaper.
I probably won't even be able to make the challenge, what a shame as I would love to see the new Mikey and his huggies.

Mike Dussault · Post by **Mike Dussault** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 10:39 am

Super Bowl Sunday could be the day!!! Borderland has eight players confirmed for that day, and as an added bonus, Rob has graciously agreed to host a post challenge Super Bowl party in his luxurious poker lounge. Full bar, keg o Sierra Nevada, and four TV screens for viewing the Big Game!!! What more could a bunch of spacestronauts require? Lets make this date a reality. You don't need choke artist Dano anyway. Let him stay home changing diapers and cuddling with his blanky on the couch. The rest of you hearty NASA members man up and step up to the challenge! Super challenge on Super Bowl Sunday! Start by 10:00=plenty of time to party it up before the game.

GO PATS!!!

Steve Solbo · Post by **Steve Solbo** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:01 pm

Looks like a busy day out there, I know for one, I should be there before the game at some point.

Matt DeAngelis · Post by **Matt DeAngelis** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 9:22 pm

so what's the deal NASA? You going to pull the trigger and show up on Sunday?

Mike Dussault · Post by **Mike Dussault** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 8:45 am

What gives NASA? Please check back into Earth and report on the challenge. We are waiting to finalize plans.

Team Spaceshot?! :alien:

John Mucciarone · Post by **John Mucciarone** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 11:13 am

yeah NASA, whats the deal!

don't you sit around on this discussion board
over the weekend like Team Borderland! :twisted:

Matt D, you have e-mail.
