    IDAHO STAMPEDE TO HOST TEAM TRYOUTS
    Portland and Boise will each host exclusive tryouts

    PORTLAND, Ore. – The Idaho Stampede will hold exclusive player tryouts in advance of the team’s 2012-13 season, the 15th season in the team’s history.

    The organization, under direction from the Portland Trail Blazers, the team’s single NBA affiliate, will host the tryouts in Portland on Sept. 22, 2012 at the Trail Blazers Practice Facility and in Boise on Sept. 29, 2012 at the Ada County Boys and Girls Club. Both tryouts will start with registration at 7 a.m. and end no later than 6 p.m.

    These exclusive tryouts will offer players the opportunity to show their abilities in front of Stampede coaching and scouting staff, along with Trail Blazers personnel, with the chance of an invite to Stampede training camp.

    Space will be limited for each tryout, and potential participants are asked to fill out registration forms before two days prior to each tryout date. Walk-up registration at the door will not be available on the day of a tryout. Players can find registration forms at the Idaho Stampede front office, idahostampede.com and trailblazers.com (link to form).

    Players should return all registration forms, along with a $150 payment made out to the Idaho Stampede (credit/debit card, cashier’s check or money order) to: Sean Kiely, Portland Trail Blazers, 7325 SW Childs Rd., Portland, OR 97224, faxed (credit/debit only) to 503-797-9996, or sent to Kiely’s email address (sean.kiely@trailblazers.com). If a player is asked to participate, their fee is non-refundable. Registrants who are not asked to try out will be notified and have their fee reimbursed.

    Any questions regarding the camp should be directed to Sean Kiely at 503-797-9647.

    I have the bulk to play center, but I'm a foot short.

    I have the skills of Chris Dudley in the body of Steve Kerr, with the age of Gary Payton. It's like a 3-for-1 deal!

    Hell I'll grab my walker and try out. I can play center. I'm only 6'3", but I can punch a player in the balls with the best of them!

    Are you bringing your lawn mower or does the Stampede have their own mowers?

    Casey Holdahl on his Blazer.TV show today said you were trying out to be the Stampede's mascot.

    True story.

    I didn't but I think you're right about BobD and some other people doing that. That was at the street jam, which I think is coming up.
