President's Notes

Howdy Ags!

So Wimbledon Wednesday was ironically, and fittingly?, rained out last
night. Such a bummer, but next Wednesday we'll try it again. We still
need some volunteers to help out at the ITA tourney this weekend for
the varsity team. Take a look at this sign up sheet and let me know
if you can help out at any of the open time slots:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tpw_NlBZdfvl3av9_STiJcg&output=html

Also, don't forget to come out to Volleyball Day at the Rec on
Saturday from 2-5pm. I'm also ordering a second round of hoodies. I'm
going to order them next Monday, so you need to let me know ASAP if
you want one. Just shoot me an email with your name and size.
Remember they cost $20. I've also attached a picture of the hoodie
design if you still aren't convinced these hoodies are freaking
awesome. (seriously, don't be the only one without a TC hoodie when
it gets cold)

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Fuddruckers TONIGHT!!!!!

Howdy All,
In case you forgot, we're having our first fundraiser/social event
tonight. We'll be meeting at 8 at fuddruckers and then heading over
to shivers after for some snow cones. It'll be great way to get to
know your teams and other tennis club peeps so be sure to make it out.
Also, if you can't make it at 8, just buying a hamburger any time
today and telling them its for the tennis club will help support us
(and we need it, its expensive to send 9 teams to a tournament!).

Austin Tournament Teams

Howdy Ags!

Here are the Austin teams:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tYYk1uqJPrec1Zj4YTpomjQ&output=html

Your team captains should be getting in contact with you soon.
Remember, we need to be in Austin by 8 AM on Friday. We are meeting
at 5:30 AM, five thirty AM, thirty minutes after five IN THE MORNING,
FIVE THIRTY AM, and remember that we meet in the parking lot by the
intramural courts at 5:30AM!! If you go up to Austin the night
before, let your team captain know and be at the UT Intramural courts
at 8AM.

Please remember that Neil, Ryan, and myself did as best we could to
put people on the right teams. Especially on the guys' side, we are
so deep and have so many new people that someone might have slipped
down a team or two than where you feel you should be. Don't
worry...it is still early, and that is what the Challenge Ladder is
for. So until you start playing matches, we really have no idea of
your talent level. Just have fun out there and BTHO all those other
Texas schools, especially our host t.u.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Ladder and Rules!!!

What's good everyone?!?

I hope everyone had an awesome week, and is ready for practice on
Sunday. This e-mail is simply regarding the ladder and the challenge
system. Over the past week or so I have been trying to put together a
ladder so we can start getting our challenge matches going. I realize
that many of you will not agree on your placement on the ladder,
however it is difficult to place you appropriately when I have not
seen over half of you guys ever hit a ball. I appreciate those who
e-mailed me about your junior rankings, and yes I did take that into
account. The thing is, we have A LOT of time before sectionals, so if
we start the challenge system soon , by the time sectionals rolls
around everyone should be content with their team placement. Another
thing, I also understand that some of you initially did not mark the
option: "Join pool play", on the paper slips you filled out upon
receiving your t-shirts at the beginning of the year, and now do in
fact want to be placed on the ladder. That is completely cool, you
just need to let me know either by e-mail or at practice, so I can get
you on the ladder. As for the others who do not see your name on the
ladder, it is either because A) we haven't received your membership
dues or B) I screwed up. So, again to clarify, if you have paid your
dues, and want to be on the ladder just let me know and I'll get you
on it ASAP.

Pasted below to this e-mail, along with the ladder, are the "Challenge
Ladder Rules." These rules are the guidelines that help explain what
the challenge system is all about. It is pretty much self-explanatory,
but if you have any questions you can always ask me or any other
officer at club.

Ladder:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=toTI_OaNAElprqOmzZBitaA&output=html

Ladder Rules:
http://docs.google.com/View?id=d33jckr_25dqgp9cc7

And, finally, the date that all of this good stuff will officially
begin is October 4, 2009. Unfortunately I can't accept scores for
challenges before the Austin tournament, and the teams will have to be
formed based on my discretion. You can begin challenging now, but
they will not take effect until next tournament.

Also, the Rules and Ladder are also available on the website.

Hope to see all of you guys out on the courts on Sunday!

Tournament

Howdy Ags!

Sorry to say but this is looking real bad and no end in sight. We
have decided to CANCEL the tournament. Sorry for an inconvenience.
Spread the word to anyone you know. If some of ya'll want to stick it
out we might play a little mini tournament of doubles tomorrow if the
rain clears up. We would just play pro-set matches and try to finish
the draws we have. Let us know if you'd be interested.

Some of you guys let me know you were having a hard time seeing the
draws, so here they are as attachments. I know the draw lines look a
bit skewed, and again its something to do with the format in which it
was saved. I will work on getting it fixed and sent out soon. Thanks
everybody for being so patient.

Tournament Draws

Hey guys, hope everyone had a good week and is ready to start the
weekend off with some tennis. I know that there is a slight chance of
rain tomorrow( *cough* 80% or so *cough*), BUT there is still hope for
the tournament! The draws have been posted on tennisclub.tamu.edu
(along the right side of the page). And, yeah, I am aware that the
draws look a little weird...a lot weird... but that's something that
just happens when saving an excel file as a PDF, so go easy on me
because it's a work in progress! Go check out the draws!

times to play or call Jonathan at 915-526-4250***

Howdy Ags!

Well in case you didn't notice, IT"S RAINING! And, yes, for those of
you that were silly enough to ask, we usually stop playing tennis when
the rain comes. However, this question wasn't completely "silly."
Myself and all the other officers will be out in front of the
Intramural courts from 8-9pm even if we get completely rained out.
You can still come by at this time, pay dues, get your tennis club
shirt, get info, sign up for the tournament, and just hang out with
us! Some come by get to know us. If you're new I want to shake your
hand and get you to come out to club again. So don't give up on us
yet!

Recap:
-Unless a miracle happens with this rain, we probably won't be playing
tennis tonight
-Still come and pay dues and get your shirt! ($40 for the year)
-Sign up for the tournament at tennisclub.tamu.edu (Deadline is
Thursday night at 11:59 pm!!!)
-Come meet us from 8-9 anyway

First Practice, TOURNAMENT, Uniforms, Headbands

Howdy Ags!

So first practice is this Wednesday, September 9th, from 8-11pm out at
the intramural tennis courts. I hope all of y'all are as excited
about club this year as I am. We're looking to build off of last year
and be better than ever. As always, we'll be expecting a big turnout
and we want to get as many people as possible out there playing tennis
(especially girls). For the first couple of practices will be just be
getting to know everybody and will be playing A LOT of the greatest
game in the world…clean winner. Also, don't be scared about coming
out to club no matter what your skill level. We have a very wide
variety of players that come out for club, from ex-varsity's to people
who just play a little in HS to people who have never picked up a
racquet before.

If you decide it's for you, and you want to be a part of the biggest
and best tennis club in the nation, you can pay your dues. And
remember, our tournaments are free…FREE…***FREE*** for our members.
Did I mention our members get into tourneys for free? FREE. There's
no such thing as a free lunch, but we got free tourneys. We'll be
collecting membership fees at practice, and we have a special early
sign up offer. If you can pay your membership dues before September
16th at 8pm, you'll only have to pay $40 for both semesters, which
really is a good deal (it covers balls, uniforms, social events, REC
court fees, entry fees, housing, and travel costs for intra- and
inter-club tournaments in and around the state, and to nationals, and
our freaking awesome new tennis club t-shirt...Tennis Club members
also get 15% off at Tennis Warehouse). Otherwise the dues will be $50
for both semesters or $30 for the fall semester only. Our club shirts
will be in by the first practice and you can pick yours up once you
pay your dues. Seriously guys, the shirts are flippin' awesome. If
ya'll really want to you can waive the membership dues and just pay
$40 for the shirts…seriously they're that awesome.

We will be participating in a number of out-of-town tournaments
throughout the semester and if you want to see our schedule laid out
just go to http://tennisclub.tamu.edu and click on our "Google
Calendar" link. We will also be having an intra-club singles and
doubles tournament this upcoming weekend on Sept. 12th and 13th. So
go sign up online at tennisclub.tamu.edu NOW and find a good doubles
partner. The tournament is $FREE.99 for members and $20 for
non-members, so pay your dues ASAP. We will be giving out a bunch of
prizes and give-a-ways from local businesses. The out of town club
tournaments are also a blast. We get to play teams from all over the
state, and most especially BEAT THE HELL OUTTA t.u.! In order to
determine our teams for the inter-club tournaments we will be using
pool play (beginning in mid-September) and intra-club tourney results
in the fall and a ladder system in the spring.

Also, we will have uniform order forms available on Wednesday with
samples of the uniforms on display. Remember if you have any more
questions visit our website at tennisclub.tamu.edu or email us. Also
remember to join the Tennis Club Facebook Group
(http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2208256948&ref=ts).

Thanks and Gig 'em!

Practice, Nationals, Intra-Club Tourney, Fresh

Howdy Ags!

Practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm out at the intramural courts.  Our
nationals team leaves for Surprise, AZ tomorrow afternoon to reclaim
our National Championship.  If you see any of them around be sure to
wish them good luck.  We have won this 5 of the past 7 years, and
we're looking to add to our trophy case.  Hershi is gonna do it big at
singles for us and grind it out.  Kole hits the ball so hard he cracks
skulls.  Soong Hay is about as clutch as me at times.  Big Baby Andy
Sumrall is the definition of DO IT BIG and is far from a baby.  I also
really don't see us losing when we got Jason Bourne...I mean Andrew
Bourne, slaying the competition...with his LEFT hand.  As for the
girlies...Gracie hits winners down the line on ME, enough said.
Ashley G. might be small, but don't let it fool...BIG game.  Nichole
has the smoothest, silky-est backhand slice I've ever seen and reps
that West Texas Tennis (holla).  We got Kymber who hyts byg and can do
everythyng I can do, except she does it wyth a Y.  And finally, Anna
B. comes from Russia with love and puts the fight in Fightin' Texas
Aggies.

Also, next weekend (the 25th and 26th) we will be having our
Intra-Club Singles and Doubles tourney.  You can register online at
tennisclub.tamu.edu and the deadline is next Wednesday (the 22nd).
We're gonna have the varsity courts for that tourney, so come on out
and win some tennis club bragging rights.  Last year at this
tournament we had some pretty epic matches and they always turn out to
be pretty fun.

Finally, I got a little question for ya'll (I don't know if anyone can
help me out). You see I'm trying to buy a racquet stringer, because I
break alot of strings doing it big out on the tennis courts, so I
started looking around some places in Houston. I looked around west
Houston at various places to see what kind of deal I could get.
Needless to say, I got a flat tire on the highway and ended up needing
to call my parents. When my mom asked what the heck I was doing to
Houston she kinda got scared and she said "you're movin' with your
uncle and auntie in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came
near the license plate said "FRESH" and had dice in the mirror, if
anything I could say this cab was rare, but I though now forget it,
"yo home to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and
I yelled to the cabby "yo home, smell ya later," I looked at my
kingdom, I was finally there to settle my throne as the prince of
Bel-Air. Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get
a Cali stringing here in Bel Air?

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm at the Intramural Courts.  Remember that not this weekend, but next weekend, we will be having our intra-club singles tourney for those of ya'll that wanna earn some bragging rights.  These tourneys are always a lot of fun and best of all, we will more than likely get to play on the varsity courts.  Also, in the spirit of all this campaign season, tomorrow night is your last chance to enter the running for an officer position.  The executive officer positions (prez, vice-prez, treasurer, and secretary) will be elected by a majority vote next week, and the other positions will be selected once the executive positions are set.  For a complete description of each position and its responsibilities, see the file I have attached to this email.  

There are still spots available for you to be considered for.  So, I highly encourage anyone that is interested in helping make this club the best tennis club in the entire nation to apply to be an officer.  I can tell you that being an officer this year has been nothing but a blast.  Our tennis club is really laid back and easy going, it also helps that we kinda beat the hell outta everyone in the state (and nation).  So, if you're passionate about tennis and want to get more involved in tennis at A&M please consider being an officer and contributing to this awesome organization.  Don't do it to pad your resume or anything like that, do it because you truly care about tennis and this club. 

Also, men's varsity match vs. Tech on Friday at 6pm and women's vs. Mizzou at noon on Saturday. Be there.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Election sign-ups, practice

So I don't know what everybody else did around lunch time today, but Ana, Megan, Alyx, and I sun-waxed a whole set of wood patio furniture next to the pool and hot tub after dusting the first story window blinds, while the rest of our team was busy sweeping out the 3 car garage, planting shrubbery, and raking the front yard of this two-story residence for BE.

Until Wed night, we will be accepting entries to run or apply to be an officer of the Tennis Club next year. The election will be held Sun-Wed of next week. Attached is a list of the positions and prescribed duties. Executive positions are elected by majority vote, while the non-executive positions are chosen by the newly elected executives. Reply back with your name and position(s) you wish to run for. You may run for as many spots as you like. Standard university officer position rules apply.

Its looking to be an excellent day in the neighborhood for practice tomorrow (4-7p).

Practice, Tourneys, Big Event

Howdy Ags!
 
I hope all of ya'll had a safe and fun-filled Spring Break.  I spent my break skiing in New Mexico, chilling by the pool, and making fajitas.  Hopefully all of ya'll have slept off the hangovers and are ready to get back into the swing of tennis club.  Even though we have already passed Sectionals, we still have alot going on.  I hope to see alot of ya'll out there at practice.  Anyways...
 
Practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm at the intramural courts.  We have a couple of intra-club tournaments coming up in April for those of ya'll that wanna win some A&M Tennis Club Bragging Rights.  April 11th will be our singles tournament, and April 25th will be our doubles tournament.  We will have more info on how to sign up and whatnot later, but just keep those dates in mind.  Also, this Saturday is the Big Event.  If you signed up with me, you have to be at Reed Arena on Saturday morning.  I have more information on the BIg Event later for those of you that signed up.  If you have any questions regarding the Big Event, email me at jbrow7@gmail.com.
 
O, and be sure to wish Sir Elton John happy birthday tomorrow...he's turning a faaaaaabulous 62.
 
Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Practice, Spring Break, Big Event, Varsity-ness, Chuck Norris

Howdy Ags!
 
Practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm at the intramural courts.  This will be our last practice until we get back from Spring Break on March 25th.  Also remember that the first Saturday after we get back from Spring Break is Big Event (March 28th), so if you signed up to do it with us be sure to keep that in your plans.  There's a Fightin' Texas Aggie Women's Tennis match on Thursday night at 5pm versus Texas Tech, and Fightin' Texas Aggie Men's Tennis match on Friday night at 6pm versus Ohio State.  There will probably be a couple of club members out there, so stop by and support our varsity teams.
 
Also, tomorrow is Chuck Norris' birthday, so in memory of his entrance into the world (Chuck Norris wasn't born, he roundhouse kicked his way out of his mother's womb) I invite all of ya'll to come out to club and DO IT BIG, just like Chuck (Chuck Norris can win a game in tennis in only three points).  Because it is Chuck Norris' birthday, I am going to stress consistency at tomorrow's practice (Chuck Norris is the only person to beat a wall at tennis).  This is also a great day for Derek Bruner, because he can finally come to realization of the limitations of his abilities (Chuck Norris is the only person not to get aced by me).  So grab your racket, come out to club, and try to be a little more like Chuck (even though that's impossible).
 
Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Important Sectionals Info

By this time everybody should know when and with whom they are riding and driving.

I will distribute hotel keys during the afternoon matches. We will fit 4 to a room with 2 beds (not sure about sofas/cots). Be thinking about who you wish to bunk with. Co-ed rooms available for only for married couples.

Except for a maybe late-ish Sat night dinner, there will not be any scheduled group activities for the group as a whole.

We had a big group of club members go and play Southwestern College today, and we came out on top 19-2 (ouch).  Anyways, practice tomorrow night from 4-7pm.  We are getting ready for sectionals and we really need to get organized.  Let ME AND YOUR CAPTAIN know if you can drive.  We need to all try to be in San Antonio by 2pm on Friday.  If you can't make that let me know and we'll work out some rides.  Once again we will be staying at the Drury Hotel by the Riverwalk and we need $20 from everyone that is going to cover the hotel costs.  Give the money to your team captains.  If you have any questions about sectionals just ask me or David (214-773-0504).
 
Also, we are signing up for Big Event.  If you want to participate, talk to me and I'll get you signed up.  It is really important that you honor your commitment to go with us if you sign up.  The deadline is Feb. 27th, so if you want to go, meet up with me ASAP.

Practice, Sectionals, Big Event

Howdy Ags!


Practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm, weather permitting.  Next weekend we go to San Antonio for Sectionals, so get excited!!!  Team Do It Big had a pretty epic comeback win over t.u. in the finals of the Waco Tourney and Team 4 won their bracket.  We have a few housekeeping things to get over first...

If you haven't already been in contact with you team captain remember to tell them whether or not you are going, what your t-shirt size is, and what is the earliest you can leave on Friday (2/27) to drive to San Antonio.  If at all possible, we need you to get all this info to your team captain by Wednesday (which, yes, is TOMORROW, so do it...NOW...why are you still reading? why isn't your phone open and calling your team captain?!...ok seriously do it now)  We will be staying at the Drury Hotel by the Riverwalk. We are going to need $20 from each person to help with the hotel costs.  Give the money to your team captain, they will take care of that stuff.  NO MONEY = NO HOTEL.  We will be playing at the McFarlin Tennis Center (1503 San Pedro Ave).  Rides will be the responsibility of your team captain, so make sure that you have enough people driving within your team.  There have been some updates to the challenge rules so check them out:



Tennis Club will also be participating in Big Event as a group.  The deadline for us is Feb. 27th.  I will have the sign up sheet at practice until that day.  Big Event is March 28th.  This is truly an event where we the Fightin' Texas Aggie Tennis Club can DO IT BIG (Event).  So let me know and I'll get you signed up.

Call me, look me up on the 'Book, or email me if you have any questions about any of this stuff.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Waco Rides

Hey guys,

We are planning on getting together and leaving the intramural courts by 6:15 on Saturday morning. Not everyone is playing at the same location, so double check the location assignments I am posting below. I am leaving it up to you guys to figure out the ride situations for each of your team members. If you don't have enough room for people on your team, try to contact the captain of another team that is going to the same location as you AT THE SAME TIME to see if they have room in their cars. If at all possible, DO NOT CARPOOL WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. If your team is playing at 9:45, feel free to leave later if you can plan it all out.

Be on time, have fun, and DO IT BIG

THANKS AND GIG'EM!

Practice, Waco, Rides, Sumrall-Shout-Out

Howdy Ags!


Practice tomorrow from 8-11pm.  The Waco Tourney is this weekend and we will be leaving as a group early on Saturday morning.  We will probably meet in the parking lot by the intramural tennis courts, but I'll have more info on that later.  Also, I'm still making a list of drivers for Saturday, so let me know if you can help us carpool.  So far as drivers I have:
  • Billy
  • Nichole
  • Andy
  • Jbrow
  • David H.
  • Kymber
  • Doug Cady
  • Jensen
  • Brad/Gary
  • Christine
We still need a few more spots for people so let me know if you are driving, or if you are driving up early like on Friday or something.

Today we will also be having a guest speaker from probably the biggest fan of TAMU Tennis Club other than your mom:

Hey club,
I've missed you guys and all the awesome A&M tennis club happenings since moving on to the "real world" this year.  So much so that when the powers that be asked me to join the USTA committee that oversees all things Tennis on Campus / collegiate tennis in Texas, of course I said yes!  So anyways, there's a meeting this weekend in Dallas where we will make some decisions on ToC for 08-09.  

Here's where you come in.  If you have ANY input, the good, complaints, pretty much anything you'd like to see changed about the tournaments, sectionals, or anything the USTA should be doing for us, reply back to this email (they'll get responses back to me) and I'll make sure it gets brought up.  I'm hoping to stop by club on Sunday on my way back from Dallas to let ya'll know how it went and hit a few balls.  See ya then!

Old fogey Matt Sumrall 

Thanks Matt.  Remember guys and gals, your input is really important in this matter, because this will make Tennis on Campus bigger and better for us as a club, and for you as a member.  Also, we are still in desperate need of girls for both Waco and Sectionals.  So if any of you girls still wanna play let us know ASAP.

Thanks and Gig'Em!

Practice

Howdy Ags!


Practice today from 4-7pm out at the intramural courts.  Also, if you haven't been in any kind of contact with your team captain, you WILL be taken off the challenge ladder very soon.  So if you haven't done so already look up your team captain and notify them of whether or not you can play at the Waco Tourney and/or Sectionals.

Sorry about getting this out so late, but remember the women's varsity is also playing LSU at 1pm.

Thanks and Gig 'em!

Howdy Ags!
 
Hope everyone had a lot of fun watching the Super Bowl, because I know I did.  Larry Fitz put on probably the most dominating performance I've seen in a loss, and Santonio Holmes caught about everything in his zip code.  Here was my favorite Super Bowl ad:
 
 
ANYWAYS....
We got practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm.  We need to know by TODAY if you are able to go to the Waco Regional Tourney (Feb. 14th (yes that's Valentine's Day)).  If you haven't already, you need to get in contact with your team captain and let them know your status on this tournament.  We have updated the challenge ladder up to all the results we have so far, and have updated the rules a little bit too:
 
Also, remember that Sectionals is Feb. 27th, 28th, and March 1st in SAN ANTONIO.  So keep in contact with your team captain.  Also, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday, and we're gonna have to deal with 6 more weeks of winter.  Amazing that what is technically classified as an oversized squirrel, can have such an amazing effect on American society.  I mean six more weeks of wintery weather, means six more weeks of higher electricity and gas bills to warm our homes and businesses.  That also means that people will be burning wood and having campfires for six more weeks.  This added six weeks of fuel burning releases pollutants into the atmosphere and only stimulates Al Gore's theory of this fuzzy phrase we call GLOBAL WARMING.  I hate to say it but: Punxsutawney Phil, you are but a pawn in Al Gore's arsenal.  But enough about a silly groundhog and his role in making Al Gore ruler of the human world...Today is the day the music died...yes, 50 years ago today Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper died in a plane crash.  The plane was going from Clear Lake, Iowa to Fargo, N.D. (from one armpit of America to another), but it never reached it's destination.  So sit back and have some American Pie and sing along with Don McLean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ8miTErh-o
 
Thanks and Gig 'Em!
