Two messages from Coach

Team,

I suppose yesterday's game with Augusta could have been a lot worse. We did pretty well against them during the early parts of the first half, and then fell away. Our try was without doubt the best try Nooga has scored since I have been coach. Penalty, a well won lineout, set up maul and drive with Ryan controlling the forwards drive and scoring as it crossed the line. It was a great try, we were only down 10-5 at that point and looked dominant. Augusta's heads dropped, and instead of taking control of the game we ran out of steam. There were aspects of the game that we continued to do very well in, but our lineout fell apart, and defensively we lost the plot and were just all over the place.
I know many of you feel that was a good game, but if you're satisfied with that, then bottom of the table is where will always be. There are 2 reasons we lost that game - fitness and lack of practice. We have had 3 weeks off, and yet we have had barely any practices with double figures attending. Most of you have seen 3 weeks off as an excuse to skip practice. There are some who attended every single practice and I appreciate your dedication.
I have said before, if the consensus is that this is a recreational team, then fine, that makes my life much easier. But every time I have asked you, every one has said "no, we want to compete". Well it's time to put your money where your mouth is. We have two very 'winnable' games coming up. Old White this weekend in Nashville and then we finish off with the Renegades at home. If we play our best rugby, they have no chance. If!
Those of you who drove to Augusta. Many thanks for taking on that responsibility. If you would like to get some money back for the gas you spent, please contact Pete Steyn (I put his e-mail in the cc above).
I would be remiss if I didn't mention our Man-of-the-match. While there were some very good performances on the field, I nominated Chewie (Jonathan Crabtree - incase you didn't know his real name!) as M-o-t-M for saving our skins and buying what turned out to be an excellent set of jerseys. I actually think, given the heat, that they were better than our regular jerseys. Only $10 each and I think every single one survived. They also looked really good. Thanks Chewie.
Practice - Tuesday, 6:30pm, Rossville. See you at practice.

Jared.


Second Message:

Team,

I forgot to mention: We will have two notable omissions from our final two games. It looks like Caleb broke his collar bone during yesterday's game and Pat is getting married.
Here's wishing you both a speedy recovery! Just kidding Pat.

The clubs very best wishes to both of you.

Jared.

Word from coach

Guys,

I am moving practice. I will be running practice at 6:30pm at the Rossville field. It looks like we may have lost our field at East Lake Rec - until about 7:30pm at least. So I am moving us. The start time is a little early for some of you, but it's needed in order to get in enough work before it gets dark. We will practice until it's dark or 9pm, whichever comes first.
I guess we will see how many players actually read their e-mails.

Jared.

Word From Coach

We have a game in 2 weeks. We have practice Tuesday and Thursday this week and next. We will also have a practice this Saturday at the Rossville field. Practice starts at 7pm Tuesday and Thursday and we will start at 12:30pm on Saturday.
We need a good run into our 6th game. Get your priorities sorted out and get your ass to practice.

Jared.

Hey guys (lot to read)

I am sorry I haven't shown up for practice, But I had my spring break and all I was doing is working to catch up with all my school work. Also I have had a Family accident last Thursday and my Brother is having surgery tomorrow, so I will come to practice, but won't be much in a mood until I know he is better.

Anyways Let's get Down to Business;


1) I will Start finding Tips and Video's on the internet again.

--------------------------------

2) DVD List:
I have 7 Names, that is great. And Every guy is getting (like the full season) with is about 3 dvd's (Maybe Four).

But so here it is in Details: 7 People + 3DVD = $105 Dollars
So what I am trying to Say again, If I get another 7 more People to Get some of these DVD's. There will be $210 -$50 (Buying DVD's) = $160

$160 Bucks for the Club

--------------------------------

3) Phyllis who has been in Charge of the chattanoogarugby.com for some time now. She is about to give me all the info to start working on it and update it.
Oh if you guys didn't know I have been put in charge of the site, you could say.
Some time this week I should have control.

--------------------------------

4) I know some of you may not want to do it. But I think it will help the Team in a Big way. We and I mean YOU , yes YOU reading this right now join the Nooga Forum . All the other teams have one, and well I think it will help us in a Great way. So please just start to join and it will get better.

First Try of the Season for Nooga

I just made a Quick Video of our first try of the season. Hope you guys enjoy.



About the Knoxville Video:
Normally I should have it done right now. But this week I am on spring Break, and well I can't relax. The Reason why is because I have a Lot of Programing stuff I need to study for and I have 14 test online I need to get done by the end of Sunday. So I am a bit tied up.

I will try to work on it as soon as possible.
