Heh. Possibly. :P
That sort of ... continuity doesn't really seem like Claremont to me, 
though. ;P

I don't know - I remember some pretty nasty teams, not even including 
those who were just extremely physical, and some pretty terrible 
refereeing. You may be right, though. And I certainly wouldn't rule 
anywhere out, since I do really want to play basketball. I'm just saying 
I'd really prefer somewhere 'nice'. ;)

Yeah, I'm just worried it might be a bunch of "we've never played 
basketball, or any sport really, before, and Tommo could beat us by 
himself" teams, at which point we would be a tad much.

Anyway, I'm late for something, so bye. ;)
