Practice

Howdy Ags!

 

Practice tomorrow night from 8-11 out at the intramural tennis courts.  I hope that everyone who went with us to Austin this weekend had a blast.  The tournament was a lot of fun and the only thing that could have made it better would have been beating the hell outta t.u., but those bros couldn't get their act together enough to even make a full team.  We had some great results from our teams with Team 1 taking home first place, naturally.  I also wanna congratulate Team 3 on their upset of Team 2.  

 

Well, this weekend we got our INTRA-club doubles and mixed doubles tourney.  The deadline to register for that is Thursday on our website, tennisclub.tamu.edu.  Even if you don't have a partner at the time, you can just sign up and we'll match you up with someone.  Remember, joining the 'Book event saying that you're attending the tournament is not enough.  You also need to register on our website.

 

The weekend of October 11th we will be going to another regional tournament in Houston.  It will be just like the tournament in Austin, and should be a blast as well.  It is a football weekend again, but if you feel like playing some tennis you should come with us.  An event has been created on the 'Book, so if you plan on attending this tournament either RSVP through the 'Book or send us an email.  We'd especially love for some more girls to come out to this tournament because last weekend we had to cut some guys because we didn't have enough girls to make more teams.

Also, any one that hasn't paid dues or hasn't gotten their shirt should settle that up with Andy at practice tomorrow.  Keep up on your challenge matches.  I am attaching the second round of pool play, which will be due by next Monday.  This initial pool play is really important so that we can establish a fair ladder system for our teams.  Remember we got bowling tonight at 8pm at Grand Station.  Hope to see a bunch of ya'll out there.

 

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Practice tomorrow, 4-7p. There may be limited little clean winner time, since everyone... ok, maybe just me... will be kinda tired tomorrow from our roadtrip to Austin today.

t.u. tourney

Howdy Ags, 

Alright so on Saturday morning we are going to try to meet up in the parking lot by the courts and leave for Austin by 6:30am.  For drivers I have the following people down:

-David Hoover

-Julian Bailey

-Soong Hay

-Jensen

-Kymber

-Rita Kartunov

-Lorin Whitehead

-Billy

-Andy Stevens

-David Morin

-Doug Cady

-Brad Burgess

-Matt Thuesen (courtesy of Jensen)

-Terry Chang? can you?

It is important that all of ya'll show up with your cars so that we have enough room.  I was thinking we could have each rider pitch in like 10 or 15 bucks, but just discuss that among all the people tagging along with you.  We also had a few changes on the teams with the girls, so I am attaching a revised list of the teams.

 

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Practice, t.u. tournament, pool play, dubs tournament, dues, cheetahs

Howdy Ags

 

So we got practice tonight from 8-11pm out at the intramural courts.  So come out and get some practice in for this weekend.  I am attaching the line-ups for the tournament in Austin this weekend.  We had to cut some of the guys short because we simply did not have enough girls to go around to make enough teams.  I'm sorry that we had to do this, but hopefully in the future we have more girls come out when we have a tourney that isn't on a football weekend.  We have made a list of alternates and we may call you up if some others drop out.  It is important that you at least contact your team captain and let them know that you are going and whatnot.  If at all possible come to club tomorrow night for at least a little while so that we can let you know of any more information we have/need.  This tournament should be a lot of fun and we're gonna beat the ever-livin' hell outta t.u.  I hope that everyone goes out there at gives 110%.  Unfortunately, Jenna, I will not be on Team Sexy but the name will continue to live on, so represent us well.  We are also in the progress of figuring out the carpooling situation to Austin.  I have gotten a few responses from some of you on the 'Book, but we still need more rides.  If you can give some fellow clubbers a ride talk to me at practice tomorrow and I will have a list.

 

Also, we just sent out the pool play information yesterday.  I attached another (easier to read) copy of the pool play to this email as well.  Start to contact your first match-up and set up a time to play.  Once again, due to limited court space don't play your match during the designated club practice.

 

Also remember guys, we got that doubles and mixed doubles (or singles with an obstacle for guys) tournament coming up the weekend of Oct. 4th and 5th.  The entries from the Ike'd tournament DID NOT carry over, so if you want to play in the tournament you have to re-register at our website (tennisclub.tamu.edu).  And remember, tennis club members get to play for FREE.  We got lots of great prizes for the winners, and everybody knows doubles is pretty much the funnest thing you can do with four people.

 

Dues, dues, dues: we are really REALLY collecting dues now.  So if you haven't settled that yet, talk with Andy in the fuzzy white hat.  One more note: for the time being bowling has been cancelled due to scheduling issues with Grand Station, but sit tight we're working on it.

Pool Play

Hey guys, it's that time of the year when we start pool play.  These matches will help us determine where people will be placed on the ladder and on the teams that we take to tournaments.  We will play one match per week and the time frame for each round of matches will be from Tuesday morning to Monday night the week after. 

We will be sending out updated draws every week because in this system, no one gets eliminated and we match people up with same win-loss records. So if you lose your first round match, and win the next 2 matches, you will play against people who have won 2 matches and lost one. In the draws that we will be sending out, each player's phone number and email will be given so it will be the players' responsibility to get hold of their opponent and schedule a time and place for the match. Each match will also have their own specific match number.

Due to the crowd and limited number of courts on Wednesday nights, do not play your pool play match during Wednesday practices.  The format for the matches will be 2 out of 3 sets, with ad scoring.  When you are finished with your match, go to the A&M club tennis website, tennisclub.tamu.edu, and report your score on the right side of the page.  Make sure to fill in winner, loser, score, and match number when reporting the score. 

If you are not in the pools and would like to get in, email us and we will put you in the pools for the next week.

Tennis Club ROX!

Howdy Ags!

 

We got A&M-barrassed today, and that's all I really have to say about that.  Practice is tomorrow from 4-7pm out at the intramural courts.  So, come out tomorrow and take a break from studying.  We got that tournament over at t.u. coming up this next weekend, so if you plan on going grab a partner and get some real hitting in (unless of course you wanna stay on the Clean Winner court and hit clean winners on Derek).  Also about that tournament: GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS…we need girls! So if any of you gals are free next weekend and haven't signed up on the Facebook event or sent us an email you should get on that.  Seriously gals, I know it's a football weekend, but the tournaments are a lot of fun and I don't know how much of our football team I can take.  Once again, we will be leaving EARLY on Saturday morning and getting back sometime later that night.  Start thinking about whether or not you can help us carpool out there by taking some other clubbers with you.

 

Also, coming up on Friday we will be having our bowling social over at Grand Station off of Highway 6.  Ya'll should most definitely come out for that, cuz it should be a blast.  From what I hear though, don't challenge Soong to a "friendly bet" because he will hustle you.  But come out, bowl a couple games, and bond with your fellow teammates before our tournament.

 

Also, if any of ya'll see David, Johnny, or Brad congratulate them on getting their rings over the weekend.  Hope to see all of ya'll out there tomorrow and remember to keep on keepin' on.

 

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Practice, Practice, Practice

Howdy Ags!

So I hope all of ya'll and your families are safe and OK after the events of the weekend.  Now this weekend we get the chance to literally BTHO the Hurricanes.  Seriously, I really hope we can pull it together for this game and redeem ourselves after losing so terribly in Miami last year.

Well, as of ya'll I'm sure noticed we had to postpone the tourney until the weekend of Oct. 3 and 4.  It is important to note that the entries from this past weekend WILL NOT carry over for this tourney.  You will need to re-register you and your partner on the Tennis Club website.  Since we had to re-schedule the tournament we will also be having a mixed doubles draw for all of you guys that wanna swoon the girls with your game.  Weather permitting, this should be an awesome tournament, and should be twice as fun with the mixed doubles. (Just a little personal note ladies...i need a partner)

Also, not this weekend, but next weekend we will be going to a tournament at t.u.  If you want to play in this tournament join the Facebook event (or you can send us an email, those of you that aren't connected on the 'Book), and we will set up our teams for the weekend.  The tournament will be a one day event on Saturday.  We will be leaving CS early, early on Saturday morning and should return late that same day.  We will be carpooling up there, so let us know if you can take some people with you.  We will have more information on this later.

So, practice tomorrow night from 8-11pm. Be there, be square, beware? Ha, well get ready for some more awesome clean winner and some good hitting.  Also, if any of ya'll wanna get some more hitting outside of club, just let any of us know...I'd be more than happy to hit with some of ya'll.  Also, for some of you new people: start making connections, meeting new people, and find some hitting partners.  Club is a great way to meet people to hit with, and you can only get so good playing clean winner.  Well, I look forward to seeing all of ya'll out there tomorrow. Stay classy.

Thanks and Gig 'em!

===================
Tailgate on Saturday, 4:00pm at Lot 50
===================

Our first official tennis club social event is this up coming Saturday (09/20)! We will be having a club tailgate @ 4:00 PM before we BTHO Miami!!!

The tailgate will be in LOT 50 with snacks and drinks for everyone. After the tailgate, there will be a bus taking everyone to Kyle Field who plans on going to the game. For those living off-campus, you can just drive and park in LOT 50... which is really the quickest way to get to and from the game from off-campus.

If relevant, BYO chairs. Please RSVP for food on our FB Event.

We will also try to pull tickets for another game.

If you have any questions, just email us back. I hope to see everyone out there, it's going to be great!

Practice Tomorrow

Howdy Ags!

So how 'bout them Aggies? Finally Jerrod Johnson got his shot and what did he do? He throws three touchdowns and more poise than McGee has shown under Sherman.  And he did it against a much better defense in New Mexico, not ArkanWHO?!sas St.  And finally our defense got in the game a little with a couple picks.  If only Michael Bennet knew how to keep his balance while running down the sideline they would have had a fumble return for a touchdown along with that pick-six from Jordan Peterson.  I hope some of this success carries over into the Miami game, and I hope Sherman realizes what a weapon Jerrod Johnson is.  Other than that, I'm stoked about NFL football finally starting, and yes...Tom Brady broke my fantasy heart too Billy.

But anyway, on to the real order of business...we got practice tomorrow from 8-11pm and I want to remind everyone that tomorrow will be the last day y'all can pay your dues for the discounted price of $40. After tomorrow's practice it goes up to $50, so I recommend you get that done tomorrow.  Just talk with Andy and he'll get you'll at set with that and give you our FREAKING AWESOME NEW CLUB SHIRT!!  I look forward to seeing all of y'all out there tomorrow for some more tennis club fun.  Remember we will always have a couple courts of clean winner going, but you are also more than welcome to grab a partner (or three) and play some doubles or just hit some.  Also, we're starting a little pilot program tomorrow to see if anyone would be interested in some feeding drills just to get some extra practice in.  For the first hour of practice we will have one court feeding some drills for anyone that is interested.  If a lot of people like it we can expand it later.

Don't forgot about heading over to Shivers after club tomorrow night as well.  I promise we will really be going this time, I mean we do technically have a say in 15% of the decisions they make now.  Also, while we're on the social side of things: we have moved the bowling social to the night of Friday Sept. 26th.  It should be a ton of fun and all our teams can bond before heading out for our tourney in Austin that weekend.

Also, the deadline for our intra-club doubles tourney is going to be this Thursday night.  So find a partner and register for the tourney online at tennisclub.tamu.edu.  We are looking forward to a good turnout at this tournament, and we are going to have some sweet prizes for all our winners.  And remember people, laughter can add up to 8 years to your life, so have fun at club.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Practice Tomorrow

Howdy Ags,

 

So we got practice tomorrow, and I wanna see everyone out there again.  We'll be hitting the courts from 4-7pm (which gives you just enough time to go to Shivers with club, shower, and catch the season 5 premier of Entourage at 9 (-:  )  Last Wednesday was an awesome turnout, and I'm sure all of y'all got to see how much fun we have at club (not to mention what an awesome game Clean Winner is).  Please remember: we will be collecting dues tomorrow from anyone that wants to join the greatest club tennis team in the nation.  Right now is the best time to pay your dues because you'll only have to pay $40, not to mention you'll be given your club t-shirt.  Just talk to Andy if you want to get that done.

 

Also, we got our intra-club doubles tournament coming up next weekend and the registration for it is on our website, tennisclub.tamu.edu.  The tournament should be a blast and we will be handing out lots of prizes to our winners.  Terry has also set up our first few social events for club.  For the football game against Miami on September 20th we will be pulling tickets together for anyone that's lonely and wants to hang out with us.  We will also be having a tailgate before the game at Lot 50 with some drinks and snacks for everyone.  Another awesome social event we have that was a ton of fun last year is bowling.  We are planning on going on Tuesday, September 30^th at 8pm at Grand Station down on Hwy. 6.

 

I look forward to seeing all of y'all out there, and if anyone needs a ride to practice feel free to contact any of the officers either through email, the Book (Face), or get one of our numbers.  Also call us if you get lost because as Yogi Berra once said, "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."  Basically what this means is that you have no excuse for NOT coming to practice.

 

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

First Practice

Howdy Ags!

Let's BTHO Arkansas St!...awkward silence...but seriously, what is up with Fightin' Texas Football?!?!  That was unbelievable on Saturday what happened.  If we keep on this pace Mike Goodson's back is gonna hurt from carrying the team.  Our pass defense looked as soft as ever and McGee looked as confused as Derek returning one of my serves at times.  I just hope the Shermanator shores up that O-line and gets our defense a lil more fired up.  It was definitely one of the more frustrating games I've watched, I mean we never really fell into a rhythm and how can we let Arkansas St....Arkansas STATE...walk all over us at home.  I mean this Arkansas St. team was picked to finish fourth in the lowly Sun Belt Conference. And the temporary loss of J-Train was painfully evident when we couldn't even punch the ball into the end zone from inside the 5...Hopefully, our kicker figures out how to put a foot on the pigskin, and we can get our act together to BTHO New Mexico and redeem ourselves against Miami after last year's nationally televised embarrassment.  But thinking about all this just depresses me...let's get to some Fightin' Texas Aggie Tennis Club...

So first practice is this Wednesday, September 3rd, 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).  As a bonus to you girls, I'm sure at some point during the first couple of practices Billy will probably take off his shirt, ha.  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.  Y'all are also more than welcome to come out for the first couple of practices and see what we're all about (and how much fun we have).  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 10th 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 a couple intra-club singles and doubles tournaments.  Our doubles tourney will be on September 13th and 14th and the intra-club singles tournament will be October 4th and 5th. So start scopin' the competition and find a good doubles partner.  We will be giving out a bunch of prizes and give-a-ways from local businesses, thanks to the efforts of Christine and Aubrie.  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.

We will also have a couple social events coming up, including a tailgate before the September 20th game against Miami.  Terry will be organizing a few bowling socials and cookouts for everyone to mingle with all the sexy people tennis club is made up of.  Another awesome thing about tennis club is the freaking awesome hookup we got from Shivers Snow Cones down on Harvey.  If anyone goes down to Shivers and says they are supporters of the Texas A&M Tennis Club, we get 15% of the sale to help out our club.  So take your dates to Shivers. Take you mom, dad, uncle, rabbi, boyfriend, girlfriend(s), classmates, friends, enemies, co-workers, ex's, dogs, neighbor, cousin, priest, doctor, dentist, and profs to Shivers.  Walk in like you own the place, cuz technically we own 15% of it!

Also, I note for all you Blinners out there…Y'all are more than welcome to join our club and be part of the fun, just talk to David if you have any questions about starting your own club over at Blinn.

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.

Thanks and Gig 'em!
