THE OCCASIONAL ORBITER

     Hey there Cowboys of the Space variety, whas happenin?  It is finnally 
time, after a brief layoff, for the latest edition of your occasional 
reading.

                    **** Fall Season Ready to Begin ****

     The Space Cowboys will be resuming play in the new Fall League this 
Tuesday, October 9th, at 10 P.M. at Sports of All Sorts in Florence.  The 
'boys opponent will not be known until game time.
     The team is very excited about the upcoming season.  With the new 
editions they hope to once again contend for the Sports of All Sorts Tuedat 
Night Championship.  They will have a solid mix of inside and outside 
threats, not to mention the always dangerous Michael Ash.  Michael, will be 
in his 27th consecutive season with the 'boys and is still looking for a 
successful one.  Mr. Ash is the only returning player that failed to score 
in any game in which he recieved playing time.  Which brings us to the 
questions that come with the start of a new season.
     Will Mr. Ash score any points?  Will Scott Trame and his unknown 
friend, "mesh" well inside with "big man" Ben Keene?  Will Keith Lubbers 
make a smooth transition from "emergency replacement" to full time player?  
These questions and more will all be answered this season, and there is only 
one way to get the answers.  You have to get up and come out to the Sports 
of All Sorts Arena in Florence.  If finding the answers to all the questoins 
surrounding the Space Cowboys isn't enough to get you out to the game, then 
check this out.  This Tuesday, being "opening day" will be a special one for 
the 'boys.  It will be Orange Lanyard Night.  No, we won't be giving one 
away.  As the majority of the loyal fans currently possess a lanyard and 
whistle combination, we would like all of you to bring them out with you and 
make some noise.  Call the games yourselves.  If your favorite 'boy misses a 
shot that you felt shoul ahve gone in, blow your whistle and nail that 
"thuggy thugg" with a well dserved foul.  Although this practice may be 
frowned upon by the "officials", it's a great way to really get invovled in 
the game.
     So come on out to Sports of All Sorts in Florence, this Tuesday October 
9th, at 10 P.M. to see the Space Cowboys take on the "thuggy thuggs".  And 
don't forget your orange lanyard an whistle.
     Doors will open at 9:42 with pregame festivites following at 
approxamatly 9:54.

                        **** News and Notes ****

     Injury Repory: The status of fat guard jeremy Jeffries is still up in 
the air for Tuesday's opener.  Mr. Jeffires, who "hyperextended" his knee in 
the Summer Tournament is still complaining of some pain, but is listed as 
probable.  Fat Guard Michael Ash underwent a plethora of physical 
examinations at the completion of the Summer Season with the conclusion 
that, yes, he really is just that bad....The status of Mr. Ash is also 
questionable due to prior committments....Michael Brinkman:  If you're 
reading this, prior committments aren't a legitimate excuse for your sorry 
ass....rumors have once again begun circualting of Hagit Limore's renewed 
intrest in the Space Cowboys.  After seeing the trials and tribulations of 
the team last season, she gained a whole new perpective on what the 'boys 
are really about.
