Practice, Houston Teams

Howdy Ags!

Practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm.  Bring a sweater and your "warm and fuzzy" personality.  We got the teams for Houston set up and I'm attaching the lineups.  Captains: get in touch with each of your team members and make sure they're still going with us.  We need more drivers...let me know if you can drive or if you're driving down on your own earlier.  This is our last tourney of the semester so have fun and beat the hell outta all the other Texas schools, esp. t.u.

Stay classy

Practice, Houston, Cubism

Howdy Ags!

Practice tomorrow from 4-7pm.  I hope a few of yall got to go check out the tourney they got going on over at the varsity courts.  There's some really high quality tennis going on out there and they appreciate our help.  If you didn't check it out today, I recommend stopping by, watching some awesome tennis, and helping out a little bit.  Also, next weekend we got our tourney in Houston.  The deadline to sign up for guys is Sunday night.  You can either sign up on the Facebook event or you can just send us an email.  For girls, your deadline is really whenever, but it'd be great if you could let us know ASAP whether or not you can play.  We ALWAYS need girls.

I'm in charge of figuring out the carpool situation. so let me know if you can drive to Houston on Saturday morning.  Also, let me know if you are going home to Houston early, and/or are just gonna meet us there on Saturday morning.  The tourney is going to be a blast, and we can assert our dominance over the state of Texas.

Also, did you know that this is the day that Pablo Picasso was born?  Well now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Thanks and Gig 'Em

Practice, Houston, High School Hero

Howdy Ags!

Well congrats to all the teams that went to Dallas. I heard we had a good showing and team 1 continued its tour of rampage across Texas. We got a tourney in Houston next weekend as well. We will again be carpooling down there on Saturday morning. I have created an event on the Book, so if you plan on going sign up there. Also let me know if you'd be willing to drive.

We also are looking for a little more help for the varsity tourney that we gotta volunteer at this weekend. Here is a link to the spreadsheet of people we have signed up so far:  http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pYsLW701MvxYd17IWPQOQUA Let us know if you can fill any of the available time slots. It wouldn't be too much work and you will get to see some awesome tennis.

Finally, we will be having practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm. It will be our second themed practice of the year. We will be going with a "High School Hero" theme. I want everyone to rep their high school tennis apparel and show where your tennis roots came from. We're all Aggies but before we all came from different schools with different tennis traditions and mascots. Before we were Aggies, we were lions, mustangs, fightin' Irish, bears, unicorns, eagles, and rams.  Whether you were a state champ or the laughing stock of your district, everyone was a high school tennis hero back home.  So renew the old high school spirit and show everyone where you initially made your name on the court (or in Derek's case: where you realized that you'll never be good enough to play open).

So remember:

-Sign up for Houston tourney on the Book

-Volunteer to help us this weekend

-Rep your high school tomorrow night

-Smile for a day, it confuses people

 

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Practice

Howdy Ags!

Well, even though we lost to Tech we looked a lot better than we have in the past few games.  I mean who really expected us to be up at halftime?  I honestly thought it would be a lot worse, but we actually moved the ball quite a bit with Jerrod Johnson and Goodson.  Hopefully we can take care of business up at Iowa St. and BTHO Colorado.

So we got practice tomorrow from 4-7pm.  Take a study break and come out to hit a little bit with us.  Stay classy.

Practice, Dallas Tourney, Volunteering-ism

Howdy Ags!

Practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm, so be there and be on your game.  We got our tourney in Dallas this weekend and I've attached the teams to this email.  In terms of housing and rides for Friday, David is taking care of all that, so if you have a place that some fellow teammates can stay at on Friday night, let David know.  The tourney should be a ton of fun, and team 1 should continue their run of dominance.

Also, we have been asked (told) by the people from varsity tennis that they need us to work a tourney for them the weekend of Oct. 25th and 26th.  We need to have two people there to run errands and stuff for them.  We have to cover shifts from 8am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday.  If you can help at all with this and work a shift, let us know by either writing on the wall of the Tennis Club Facebook Group or email us.  The shifts really shouldn't be that bad, and you'll get to watch some really awesome tennis.  We would really appreciate it if you could help.  :)

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Hey guys,

Sorry about all the corrections we've had to send out lately but SOMEBODY got the date of the deadline mixed up and as a result were going to have to cut sign ups off at midnight tonight (Monday).  Again, I'm really sorry about all the confusion and promise it wont happen again..... or atleast for a week.

Dallas tournament sign up deadline

Howdy everyone,

 

Incase you didnt know, we have another tournament this coming weekend that we will be playing in dallas.  Now, I know we have a football game that weekend, but will it really be that much fun watching tech set a record for most points scored in a game?   We'll be driving down sometime friday afternoon/evening and staying in houses and heading back to college station after the tournament.  If you want to come we need to know by 6:00 PM on tuesday and you can sign up by either replying to this email or getting on to the facebook event.

houston tournament correction.... again

Howdy everyone,

 

Alright, so hopefully all of your captains have talked to you about this already but just to eliminate any confusion, we are NOT meeting in the albertsons parking lot and caravaning down to the tournament.  Since we all have different start times and locations it just wouldnt make sense for everyone to leave together.  Its your captain's responsibility to make sure everyone has a ride and knows where to meet on saturday morning, so if you havnt heard from him yet be sure to give him a call.

Houston Tourney Drivers

Howdy Ags!

Alright so the plan for Saturday morning is to meet Jensen in the Albertson's parking on University and leave by about 6.  The tourney starts at 8 and the captains meeting is at 7:30.  There have been a couple changes to the playing locations.  Teams 3 (White) and 4 (Reveille) will be playing at Lee LeClear.  Teams 1 (Do It Big), 2 (BAMFS), and 5 (Drop Shot) will be playing at Rice University.  

The address for Lee LeClear is 9506 S Gessner Dr, Houston, TX.

The address for Rice University is 5620 Greenbriar St, Houston, TX, and the tennis courts are right by the baseball stadium, so look for that.

Captains: make sure all your teammates know where they are going and whatnot.

For drivers I have down:

-Ryan H.

-Andy S.

-Reid

-Jensen

-Jonathan Burkes

-Jeffrey Davis

-David Morin

Since we are going to two separate locations make sure that whoever you are getting a ride with is going to the same location as you.  Also, I am NOT going, so DON'T call me at 6 in the morning when you're lost...call Jensen, he's in charge for the weekend.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Houston Teams

Howdy Ags!

 

Here are the team line-ups for the Houston tourney.  Captains: get a hold of each of your team members and confirm that they are coming, and ask if they need a ride (and get back to me on that).  Jensen is planning on meeting those driving/those who need a ride to meet in the Albertson's parking lot on University at 6am.  The drive will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes.  The tourney will be at the Lee LeClear Tennis Center.  I am still working on the rides, so bear with me.  Stay classy.

Wimbledon Wednesday

Howdy Ags!

So, that Fightin' Texas Aggie Football is lookin' more and more like just Texas Aggie Football...hopefully we can start playing as well during the important parts of the game as we do when we're already losing by 3 touchdowns.  All I gotta say is we gotta stay with Jerrod Johnson, that guy is a beast.  I just hope we play well against Kansas State and don't get owned too bad by Tech.  But you never know what could happen with these Ags...gotta be optimistic.

Anyways, practice tomorrow night from 8-11, and it's gonna be our first themed practice.  We're having a Wimbledon theme, new school and old school.  But what it basically boils down to is gettin' out your tennis whites and rocking the ANTI-Derek Bruner/David Morin outfit: all white.  Ya'll can be creative and rock some old school tennis whites (pants or short shorts, headband, etc.) or just go with a nice white ensemble.  Just remember, at Wimbledon the dress code is 95% white, so rock it.

Also, a couple more notes:

-Houston Tourney: deadline to sign-up is Wed. night either on the Facebook event or by sending us an email.  We also need drivers for this tourney.  Let me know either by way of the 'Book, by phone (9155264250), or by email (jbrow7@gmail.com) if you can provide a ride for some fellow clubbers.  We will be meeting at the Albertson's on University before we head out.  I promise it won't be as crazy as last time getting out of CS.

-Dallas Tourney: This is Oct. 25th. We will be staying in Dallas on Friday night.  Sign up for this tourney is up on a Facebook event, or shoot us an email.  We need drivers and places to stay.  Let me know ('book, phone, or email) if you can drive and/or provide some beds for Friday night in Dallas.  We promise to put the toilet seat back down and not snore too loudly.

I hope to see all of ya'll out there tomorrow night and remember to bust out those tennis whites.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Dallas Regional

Howdy Ags!

So the weekend of the 24th and 25th of October we will be going to Dallas for a tourney.  We are looking for places to stay on Friday night before the tourney.  Please let us know if you can assist us in any way. We can have people sleeping on couches, the floor, ottomans, dog beds, lazyboys, desks, and pretty much anywhere else you can lay your head down on.  I have made an event on the 'Book, so if you plan on going to this tourney either join the event or send us an email.  We also need to find some rides.  Ya'll should most definately come to this tourney, especially since it's FINALLY not a football weekend.  We especially need girls so that we can take as many teams as possible.

So quick recap:

-Tourney in Dallas Oct. 25th

-we need beds

-we need rides

Let me know either through the 'Book or by email if you can provide either of these.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!
