--->Boy do I have a treat for you guys! The site is now located on a new server (and the old one). GO TO http://baseketball.spalliance.net/ NOW TO ACCESS THE AD-FREE SITE!!! This will be the last update here at this location, but the site will still be fully functional. Just go to http://baseketball.spalliance.net/ to experience my enhanced BASEketball site. More news and updates will be on the way.

--->F#@$! Anyone in the Philadelphia area will know what I'm talking about. Anyway, made a few MINOR changes to the site, fixing some broken links and such. And due to this site taking up too much bandwidth, it was shut down the other day. I had to remove foul language, but if it happens again it will be removed. I'll be looking for a new home, hopefully the "big news" will break before then. And I keep saying it, but there will be a huge news story coming up, I'm just not sure when. Stay tuned, and in the mean time, join the FORUM, sign the PETITION, browse the site, and drop an email if you have any suggestions.
Also, I have to mention a basketball team from Australia. They call themselves the Beers, from BASEketball of couse. Check out their site at BeersBasketball.com. They were nice enough to give me the domain name of BASEketball.info, so you can now access my site through that link if you wish.

--->First off, Election Day. Go out and vote, or P. Diddy will kill you. Ahhhh, Vote or Die!, what a bunch of steaming s***.
Ok, lots of references I've found recently...
South Park
1. In "Free Hat", the boys dress up in island clothing to warm George Lucas' icy heart. This clothing is almost exactly the same as the clothing worn by Coop and Remer while on the Malakalaka Balance Board of Trust. Also, the boys' dance is very similar to Coop and Remer's island dance in a deleted scene.
Team America
*Note: These are vague. I couldn't find any concrete references. As always, send them in.
1. At one point, Chris says, "Oh s***." It is said the exact same way as Coop during the BASEketball game at Britney's.
2. When Gary is in the bar, the camera zooms to the jukebox to show that it is playing "Freedom Isn't Free". This song reflects Gary's life and feelings at the time, much like "Warts on Your D***" reflected what Coop was going through.
Cannibal! The Musical
1. I call this reference "Trey Can't Dance". In Cannibal! The Musical, Trey uses a "stunt" double for the ballet scene. (This is pretty obvious to notice.) Not so obvious, but that mime psycheout in BASEketball was not done by Trey Parker. That was also another "stunt" double.
These will all be up in the References section shortly.
Everyone check out the newly launched and much improved CRAPtv Forum. It's awesome, and you should all join. It has a BASEketball section as well, but don't forget about My Forum.
Orgazmo Special Edition DVD in store March 29, 2005. Support Matt and Trey, and buy the DVD. Also pick up the Team America soundtrack in stores today, and if you haven't seen the movie, go see it.
Damn, another thing to mention, but very much worth it. There will be a huge update to this site sometime in the future, hopefully late this year/early next year. Some AWESOME news will also be posted soon. Stay tuned for that.
October 5, 2004
--->Have you heard of Time Warped? It was Matt and Trey's 2 episode TV series. As with most of their work, there is a similarity to BASEketball. So, you can now download a short segment of "Time Warped" intertwined with a clip of BASEketball, and you can compare the two very similar scenes. (Click "Time Warped" dudes.) Hopefully I won't have to tell you what the reference is, but if not, then check the "References" page.
Keith, over at his Cannibal! site, also has a short video clip to show a "Time Warped"-"Cannibal! The Musical" connection. Head on over there to get another glimpse at "Time Warped."
Team America: World Police in theatres 10 days, October 15th.
August 31, 2004
--->References updated. All Dodgeball similarities now under the References page.
August 15, 2004
--->Big update today guys! Here, I have for you, a treat to be remembered. This is a copy of my notes for BASEketball 2.
(More may be on the way soon.)
I also have a scanned article I mentioned a while ago, here.
And for more proof of Matt and Trey's ideas for an Actor's Cut of BASEketball, and to clarify the meaning of Actor's Cut, check out this clip from CrapTV.
http://www.craptv.com/teamamerica/teamsounds/cannibal.mp3.
I hope to have some more stuff up soon. Sign the petition in the meantime.
August 4, 2004
--->...So I figured what the hell. And I made a petition. A petition for some sort of a Special Edition BASEketball DVD. So all you fans, sign the petition. Get your friends to sign the petition. Post the link all over the place. Go here to sign the petition.
http://www.petitiononline.com/BASEket/petition.html
August 2, 2004
--->Some damn good news from Trey and Matt. They want to do an Actor's Cut of BASEketball!!! The info is from Mattt Potter's (CrapTV) recent report of his visit to the Team America set. Follow the link, and you'll find the info in the 3rd paragraph, along with some Cannibal news.

July 31, 2004
--->HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY TO BASEketball!!!
Also: Much more coming very soon!!!
July 5, 2004
--->Hope you all had a happy Fourth of July. I just got back from vacation. Why am I posting this? Well because I was "given" a magazine on the plane, and to my surprise BASEketball was mentioned, in an article about Dodgeball. I'll scan that in later, along with all the other references. Team America has a release date for October the 15th, a week before South Park Season 8. Also check out this eBay item, the BASEketball trailer on CD. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=307&item=4022160730&rd=1)
June 20, 2004
--->Just recently got back from seeing Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. If you're a fan of BASEketball (which I'm sure you all are), then you'll enjoy this movie. It is actually strikingly similar, from the crude jokes, to the team names, to the evil rich guy, to people getting nailed with balls, to the main character coming just in time to win the championship, to the team making out after they win. Boy, this whole movie is going in the References section! Dodgeball, while being not as funny as BASEketball, is worth seeing. These obscure sports seem to be pretty funny.
June 5, 2004
--->Due to popular demand, this update is to tell you guys out there how to make your own BASEketballs. Here's the materials and instructions:
Materials
-1 regulation size basketball, rubber ones work fine
-1 can White spray paint
-1 Red magic marker
-1 Black magic marker
-Something to support a ball to hold it off the ground
Instructions
-Find a safe place, such as outside; Make sure it can get spray paint on it.
-Get your basketball and begin to spray paint it. Evenly coat it, so you can't see through it, but not too much.
-When you're done, place it on the support, to keep it from getting stuck on the ground, newspaper, etc.
-Wait a few hours for the ball to dry.
-Get out your markers. With the Red, paint the stitches on the seams of the basketball. (Make sure you follow the seams that make it look like a baseball, it'll look like a figure-8)
-With the Black maker, copy a SPALDING logo onto one of the panels.
-Let markers dry, and now you're ready to play with your new BASEketball!!!
*depending on playing surface, paint may wear off. Re-do ball as needed.
**if you can find an all-white basketball, that would be alot better.
Sign up for the forum if you haven't already.
April 2, 2004
--->It's been a while since the last update, but I added a bunch more references. I'll definately have to get a new page up with some FAQs, and also some links to mp3s I have at GeoCities. Basically just added a little here and there today, and should have some more coming soon. The forum has been up and running as of lately, so sign up already.
February 15, 2004
--->GeoCities sucks. I can't get the link to open up, so just copy this url into your address box. (http://www.geocities.com/airmancoop44/DVDA-Warts_on_Your_Dick.MP3) That is obviously the mp3 of Warts on Your Dick. I should have some more shit up there soon, too. I'm thinking about putting up a Q and A, some buddy icons, and remember I'm open to suggestions. Valentine's Day was yesterday, oh well.
January 16, 2004
--->I just opened a site at GeoCities. Don't worry, this one's staying, I'm just using that one as a place to upload bigger file sizes. The first one: Warts on Your Dick. You can download that here. <(Copy and paste link into browser) With this added space, I should have every BASEketball sound I own, and maybe get some trailers and outtakes up. Be sure to sign up for the forum. If it seems slow, it's because there aren't a lot of members yet! So join!
January 1, 2004
--->First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Hope everyone's break is goin' good. Anyway, a few things I thought I should bring up:
A while ago, on December 21, Mattt from CrapTV, wrote this in one of the forums:
"Hey, we should really get an internet petition started up on begging universal for a basketball dvd with all the fixins. We had a meeting with David Zucker about a year ago and he totally wants to do one. E-mail me if you interested in writing up a letter for the undersigned. Better yet, write one and send it to me and I will pick the best one.
Mattt "
Well, that sounds like pretty good news to me. Also, a few South Park references for you to enjoy.
1. In BASEketball, Jenna is reading Women Who Run with the Wolves, during the hospital scene where Coop brings La-Z-Boy. In South Park, in Are You There God? It's Me, Jesus, Cartman is reading the same book during one of the boy's meetings in the treehouse.
2. Yasmine Bleeth makes an appearance in one episode. (Forget which one right now)
Well, that's all for now, I should put some more sounds up and maybe some secrets/references soon. Also if you guys would, please sign up for the forum, and tell everyone you know about the site and the forum. Thanks.
December 6, 2003
--->Not really an update, but announcing some things to come. Hopefully soon I'll have up my review of the DVD, and movie, and maybe some more stuff. I can put all the sounds back up, too. Oh yeah, and go Eagles! (Forum)
November 15, 2003
--->Found the fanlisting for BASEketball @ http://fan.by-my-side.org/dude/. Everyone be sure to join that, along with the forum. (http://s2.invisionfree.com/BASEketball/index.php)
November 9, 2003
--->BASEketball was mentioned in an online comic strip called Superosity. Check it out here. Brought up by Charlie_B on the South Park Studios BBS. Also re-organized the Sounds page, so they are in chronological order, and easier to read.
November 8, 2003
--->Finally got a forum up, over at http://s2.invisionfree.com/BASEketball/index.php, so everyone be sure to join!
November 7, 2003
--->Put up a few more References, and I am soon going to add secrets, bloopers, and DYN's. (Did You Notice) BASEketball rules!
November 6, 2003
--->Well, it doesn't look like the forum is going to work out, but i'll keep trying. I put up the References page, and added a bunch. I'll have a lot more after watching the movie this weekend. (email or IM me with any more that you guys find.) There's a small message board over at IMDB, found here. That's all for now. (Oh, and sounds are now down to 80, but may go back to 100+)
November 4, 2003
--->In order to make room for the message board, I am going to have to delete one of the "Cool Stuff" pages (probably "Cool Stuff"), and maybe some more sounds. I am also going to rename the Cool Stuff pages to Photos 2, etc. If there's room, then I'll put up a Reference page, if not then I'll just post them right here.
November 2, 2003
--->I am just about to take down the message board I have up right now, and am trying to put up a new one. If the new one doesn't work, the old one will not be back. I am also putting up the references page later on. (I just finished converting most of the sounds to .mp3 format, to make room for the forum.) Oh, and FINALLY the menu at the left is the way it should be, the sound page now reads "Sounds", and is right below "Photos".
November 2, 2003
--->Wow, it's been a while since my last update. Anyway, I just got back from Scary Movie 3, and I spotted 3, count 'em, 3 BASEketball references. (Scary Movie 3 was directed by David Zucker, if you didn't know, and he directed BASEketball, too, if you didn't know that either.) 1. When the black guy is trying to revive Brenda, by pounding her chest, he shouts, "Live, dammit, live!". Also George tries to revive her by using electric wires. This scene closely resembles the hospital scene with Coop and Joey. 2. When George comes over to Cindy's to babysit Cody, he says, "Heads up, Cody!", and hits him with a basketball on the head, knocking him over. Remer did (and said) the same thing to Travis in the scene right after Coop and Remer meet Jenna Reed. 3. Not sure of the scene, or who says it, but someone says "Feel these nipples". Bob Costas said the same after the Beers win their first Denslow Cup.
--->All these references have given me the idea to come up with a Reference page, much like that of the official site for Cannibal! The Musical, www.cannibalthemusical.net. I will most likely get that up and running within the week. I am also thinking about putting a good message board up in the near future.
--->Just remembered that Big-Will's site, www.spscriptorium.com, has a BASEketball page, with different secrets on it. I'll link to the exact page, or post it here, when I can.
August 9, 2003
--->Finally recorded more sounds, 15 in total, to bring the grand total to 100. That's the final amount, pending requests from anyone. I'll try to put the clips in chronological order, so it is easier to find them. Oh, and don't mind the title on the side menu, the Sounds section is DONE. For some reason, the site builder won't let me change it.
August 7, 2003
--->It's been a while, but I've been busy, and I sprained my wrist. Put a few more links up on the links page. Sorry, but no new sounds yet, I might record some tonight, but hopefully within the next few days. Oh, and I am working on a news archive page, so this one doesn't look so cluttered.
July 31, 2003
--->No new updates, I've been kind of busy. But more sounds will be coming soon, any requests? I am writing today since it is BASEketball's 5th anniversary. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
July 27, 2003
--->Reel Big Fish were kick-ass! But back to BASEketball. Put up 2 more links in the links page, and more sounds should be coming later today.
July 26, 2003
--->There are now 85 clips in the Sounds section. There will be more up, I just have to make them. I'm going to a Reel Big Fish concert tonight, so they will probably be up sometime tomorrow. Sometime soon I will rearrange the sounds in the order they appeared in the movie.
July 25, 2003
--->Just added 11 more sounds, bringing the total to 75. I'm making them myself, so more to come. Go to Download.com and search for "pop up blocker" to make your visits to this site more enjoyable.
July 23, 2003
--->Just added 42 more BASEketball clips into the Sounds section, bringing the total to 64. That's all of the sounds for now, but I'll put up more if I find any. Also put up a BASEketball quiz, "what character are you". Thought that might be fun.
July 22, 2003
--->GOOD NEWS! I now have sounds available! There are 22 available in the new Sounds section. Plenty more to come, so be patient.
July 21, 2003
--->Just got done fixing up the League Results page, but I'm still not done. Fixed up the home page if you haven't noticed. Also added a bunch more information to the Beers page, fixed the links in Cool Stuff, and may soon have sounds available. HTML coding rules! Hopefully everything will be done soon.
July 19, 2003
--->Wow, I looked at my site and said, I really need to do something about this. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do, please e-mail me, or post something on the message board, which I should put on its own page. And also, please let me know if you know of any place I can get free web space that I can upload sounds and video onto. In the meantime, I'll try to clean this page up, since there aren't too many BASEketball web pages out there. Sorry for the looks until it gets done.
