     Hey, fellow Cowboys of the Space variety, whas happenin?  it's finally 
time for your occasional reading.

                   **** Cowboys Don't "Show Up" ****

     The Space Cowboys dropped their second straight game last Tuesday to 
the "thugg e. thuggs" of 84 Lumber fifty-nine (59) to thirty-three (33) in 
one of the worst performances in franchise history.  Part of the reason for 
the delay in this edition of the "OO" is so the details aren't as clear to 
be reported.  The 'boys shot a horrific eighteen (18) percent (%) from the 
floor, while efense was hard to come by also.  But that can't be blamed 
completely as the "thugg e. thuggs" shot an incredible one hundred (100) 
percent (%) from the field.  Yes, it is hard to beleive, but they did not 
miss.
     The only mentionabel bright spot is that after missing his first five 
(5) free throw attempts, "big man" Ben Keene, connective on all four (4) of 
his attempts is the shellacking.

                      **** Next Game Tonight ****

     The 'boys will look to avenge this disasterous loss tonight, October 23 
at 9 P.M. at Sports of All Sorts in Florence.  They will be taking on the 
"not so much thuggy thuggs" Rednecks.  Althought nothing is known of these 
Rednecks, the 'boys are already coming in somewhat the underdog.  They have 
yet to put together fourty (40) minutes of solid basketball.  But they will 
do their best tonight to show everyone in the Sports of All Sorts Tuesday 
Night League that the first two (2) weeks were a fluke and they are for 
real.
     So come on out to the Sports of All Sorts Arena tonight at 9 P.M.  
Doors will open at 8:47 with pregame festivities following at approxamatly 
8:54.

                         **** News and Notes ****

     Injury Report: All of the Space Cowboys are reportedly suffering from a 
sore ass....Once again Mr. Michael Brinkman was absent from a Space Cowboys 
basketball contest.  Rumor has it Mr. Brinkman said that if it rained, and 
it did, and the Holy Cross Indians soccer game was cancelled, which also 
happened, that he would be present.  Well it seems Michael found something 
better to do, which we here at the Occasional Orbiter have to applaud him 
for.  Michael sacrficed his "loyalty" to the Space Cowboys to attend the 
Holy Cross Lady Indians volleyball match.  We would like to congratulate Mr. 
Michael Brinkman on being a wonderful rolemodel and teacher for the students 
at Holy Cross High School.


     That will do it for this late coming edition of the Occasional Orbiter. 
  DOn't forget to come on out to Sports of All Sorts tonight at 9 P.M. to 
see some "fundamental" basketball from the Space Cowboys.
