Have I Got a Deal for You

I'll make it simple: The Minnesota Timberwolves have provided an opportunity for a few members of the Hoopus community to attend tomorrow night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers on them. As an added bonus, they've offered to give our group a pre-game locker room tour, complete with an opportunity to take some pictures.

Due to the short notice of the offer, we haven't come up with a contest to pick winners. As such:

The first four members to post a comment in this thread will be invited to bring a guest and join us for the tour and game.

Some Rules:

1. If you join the site today, you're ineligible.

2. If you win and can't go, you must contact canishoopus@gmail.com immediately.

3. If you're not in the first 4, still sign-up in case of a cancellation.

4. If you say you can go and don't show up, you'll be banned.

 

GO!

I love the Timberwolves

even if they only have won four games.

I wanted to go on the locker room tour

but since there’s so much interest, and I already have my season ticket to the game, I’ll cede my spot to someone else. I hope someone takes pictures, however, and can maybe post or send me some of the good ones. =)

Speaking as the person...

…who, at least by my math, is next in line to snag those tickets, you definitely should take that tour. You are a way bigger fan than I am. I would go if somebody else couldn’t go, but you deserve to go.

P.S.

Consider this my offer to be a trophy date. Just landed in Minneapolis and look great in a pair of heels and a set of pearls, even for a hairy dude.

Nice suggestion

I’d even buy the winner a real beer before or after the game.

Damn

I shouldn’t have hit snooze.

by nextmove on Dec 15, 2009 8:31 AM CST reply actions  

Wish I could go.

I’m flying into MSP tonight from NC and was hoping to see the game. :( If someone backs out, text me and make my day at the airport…

Not as early a riser

Though I did not make the four this is still pretty cool and I am sure you will have plenty of pictures and details for the rest of us. Is this an offer from someone in the front office, will you still be having a canishoopus night later in the year?

by TheMorningAfter on Dec 15, 2009 8:46 AM CST reply actions  

We'll definitely still be having a Hoopus night later in the year.

This was a short notice availability from the sales department, who we’re working on Hoopus night with.

None of you first four

better have any “compromising” photos circulating on the web right now (i.e., pictures of you wearing a Blazers jersery), otherwise, you’re out.

by PoorDick on Dec 15, 2009 9:38 AM CST up reply actions  

Oh well.

You were a daydreamer, a sass-mouth, and, not infrequently, a bit of a gigglepuss. Somehow I doubt twenty years of amphetamines and failure have done anything to improve that.

Damn, this is what i get for trying to be productive and not refreshing the main page every 2 minutes!!! I’m available, though I’m sure I’m too late.

When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story.

by Xand1 on Dec 15, 2009 9:56 AM CST reply actions  

My question is

What are the questions we want our four representatives to get to the bottom of? My guess is that the Wovles are actually monitoring various blogs, and thus the invite to this one. Not sure exactly what’s in it for them, but might as well make use of the opportunity, right? So, question?

"Come on Eddie, let's get serious."

Woah that’s call, too bad of the short notice .. not that I’d have been able to come ^^

I'll be at the game anyways myself...

by TonyO on Dec 15, 2009 2:07 PM CST reply actions  

Will the wolves also cover the plane ticket...

Since I live in the CA bay area…only got to see the debacle against Golden State live :(

by DR_JPK on Dec 15, 2009 2:22 PM CST reply actions  

And if they are covering ticket expenses....
