The New Season - Fall 2010

Good Morning Gentlemen.  If you have not noticed yet we have our first game for the fall session scheduled this Saturday (10/2) at 9:00PM at the Butler Dek.  We do not know the rest of the schedule yet but I will update the calendar on the website as soon as it is updated.  It's my wife's birthday so I am still not sure if I will be there or not.  If not, then I will forward the team roster to someone so that you can fill it out before the game.  Please bring means of paying your league fees and T-Shirt costs with you just in case.

Here are the costs for this session:

Team Fee = $400.00
Referee fees for 9 games at $13.00 per game = $117.00
Goals for Charity = $78.00 (excluding playoffs) for those of us that played last session.

T-Shirts = $15 per person, paid separately directly to Curt. 

___________________________________________________

Team Fee - $400.00 per team / 15 guys = $26.67/person.
Ref Fees - $117.00 per session / 15 guys = $7.80/person.
Goals for Charity - $78.00 / 9 guys that played last session = $8.66/person.

Totals:
If you played last session and you are returning for this session please pay me $43.00.

If you did not play last session please pay me $34.50.

Brotha Lynch Hung and MC Eiht will be playing for free.

Anyone who ordered a shirt please pay Curt $15.00, here is a note from Curt:

"Shirts are going to be $15/shirt. I am not going to pick the shirts up until I have everyone’s money…like we had discussed before, I can’t afford to be fronting anything and not getting paid. I will post my address on the website so everyone can mail it to me if need be."

Look for his address in the comment's section below or contact him directly at curtis(dot)carothers(at)snydercos(dot)com.  He will most likely not be at the game.

It looks like there are far less teams playing in the C League this session so it should be a good time.  Let's seriously start CRACKING SOME BEERS AFTER OUR GAMES!  Random Lengths were good for this.  If I'm there this week I'll grab some, if not, definitely next week. 

That's it for now.  I will inform someone prior to the game if I will be there or not.  Hope to see everyone out there.

GAME RECAP: 9/18/2010 VS. 7TH AVE @ BUTLER DEK

For those of you who do not know, we lost our game this past week.  Once again we exit the playoffs too early.  We went in as the 6th seed and lost to the 11th seed. 

It was a decent game.  We only had 5 guys including Dougy in goal - that means no subs.  Coach Shawn, who's name is actually JOHN, did end up playing for us.  The other team must have seen us and thought that we wouldn't be able to hang with them with no subs so they gave him permission to play. 

Although Coach Shawn scored our only two goals I think he did more bad than good.  He never passed.  Numerous times we were standing alone in front of the net and he opted to control the ball into the corner and eventually lose it.  His two goals came on good setups by us.  He also did not play defense.  He was often times the lone man at the point when the ball was in our zone and he may as well have not even been there because when the ball was played to one of their defenders they basically had all day to do whatever they pleased. 

Hopefully that dude never has to play with us again.  We lost 2-4 by the way. 


The start of next session will be here before we know it.  Curt checked with his shirt lady and she estimated that the shirts will cost us approximately $15 each. 

Here is our new logo:

Whether you voted for Bud's or not, and as homo-erotic as it may seem, I think we can all agree that this is a badass logo.  Thanks to Ty and Shoup for developing this. 

Once Curt has a price for shirts he will need the money ASAP.  He will not pick up the shirts until he has everyone's money.  Please make arrangements to pay him as soon as we know the price.

Have a good rest of the week duders. 



Preliminary Logo Designs

Good morning fellas.  Here are a few preliminary logo designs for the new jerseys.  Although I really like the hand drawn look it wouldn't hurt to have a few more to choose from.  Hit me up. 

Be sure to let me know what you want as your jersey name and number by next Wednesday.  If you do not provide me with your choice I will choose a name and number for you. 

Again our first round playoff game is tomorrow at 4:00PM.  See you then. 

Welcome to Bud's Manscaping Parlor

You guessed it, Bud's Manscaping Parlor won the final vote with 60% of us making that our choice.  I will update the website soon.  In the meantime we need to have ready the names and numbers for the jerseys so that
Curt can get his lady on it ASAP.

If you're reading this via email please reply to me with the name and number that you would like on your jersey.  Benny please find out if Doug would like a shirt and what he would want for his name and number.  Also if his buddies are planning on playing please get their information as well.

If you're reading this via the actual blog please email me here with your name and number decision.

If possible please have this information to me by Wednesday of next week.

We will also need to determine what our logo will be.  If you have any ideas pass it along.

Playoff game is this Saturday at 4pm.  See you there.

PLAYOFFS:

With our two losses on the season we ended up the 6th place team.  Because there are 3.6 Million teams in the C league, Rick splits the playoffs up into an upper and lower division for the playoffs.  We are in the upper division playing the 11th place team, 7th Ave.  The standings have not been updated in a few weeks but they were sitting at 3-2 at one point. 

The good news?  Chad, Nordy, and Myself aren't going to have to miss the game because we're attending the Pig Pour Beer Festival in Pittsburgh this weekend.  The bad news?  That's because the game isn't until next weekend.  The lower division plays their games this weekend, the upper division plays next weekend.  

We play at 4:00PM on September 18th at the Butler Dek. 

If anyone is not able to make that time let me know now.  We have two weeks so if we're going to be short players I can contact Rick and try to get the time changed, but I'll need to know ASAP. 

Curt I know you're going to be on vacation this week but maybe drop a line to your buddy before you go so that we can get an idea of a price for long sleeved tees with names, numbers, and a logo.  Have a good trip dude, be safe.
