70's beard, poker and basketball



* I would like to thank Phil Jackson for inspiring my beard this year* truly he was the original hipster, I'm merely hoping to add to the legacy

Well well, the time has come for our first official event of the new year, even though Jess's birthday might become an official event next year. Congrats to James, Jess's brother on becoming an eagle. Our little club has grown by one.

We've got the flying eagles weekend this weekend, first Friday night poker game at Luis's for the appetizer. A ten dollar buy in and good times to be had.

Saturday the main coarse, basketball and goal of making it out of pool play at the Iowa games basketball tournament. This year's journey starts early with an 8:00 AM tip off of Kirkwood community college. The eagles will face off against a team from muscataine Iowa. Second game action begins around 1:30 with our little eagles program showing up for support. Let's try to win one for the fans this year.

I'm sure a trip to Ghanis and Gilligan's is on tap as well

Just give me a heads up on when you plan on getting into town.
And always remember a couple of things, when Coming to Kyle and I's place bring something to sit on and something to sleep on.

and lastly the rallying cry for this year's team is “If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.” said by Phil Jackson

number 00 or 19 in your programs but also at least in the top five of your hears
