Friday | October 28, 2011 Filed in: October 2011
Hey guys, I’m in the process of moving all your pics to facebook so your site doesn’t crash on me anymore. Please, when you’re casually scrolling through them and reminiscing over the good ole days (from like two weeks ago)—tag your pictures and/or people you know. It will help raise awareness of the Flatlanders and rugby in general in facebooklandiapolis. I will tag when I can, but that’s a lot o’ pics for one person. So, you know, help a lady out.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Stick a fork in it!

Congrats to all of you — new ruggers claimed their space and made it worthy. Old guys — as always, the glue to this team. Let’s take what we learned this season and put it to work in the Spring. Til then, I assume there will be Winter Formal details to come (?) and when Spring practices will start up again.
I’d also like to take a moment to remind you about our buddy, Adam, who could use letters of support. If you don’t know the address, please contact Snu, Brent, or me (Anni).

Just One Rugger
Monday | March 28, 2011 Filed in: March 2011 | Misc
No matter how well 14 guys are playing—new, experienced, injured, tired, giving their all—the team is weak when it’s down one man. One man could have filled the 15th position. One man could have rotated out with one of our (at least) three injured guys who kept playing. One man could have been there to support a play that would have gotten the extra try needed to win.
One. Man.
Go to practice. Go to games. Play rugby. Drink beer.
It really doesn’t get better than that, so make time to follow through on your commitment. Fourteen other guys are depending on you.
