Reporting from Memphis

After a not so bad trip from ATL to Memphis we are here and well. A new bus with flat screen TV's made the trip tolerable. Movies of choice for the trip: Knocked Up, Boondock Saints, 300....Typical college stuff. Not much other news to report... We'll keep you updated from Memphis, land of blues and rock n' roll.

Check out the LIVE webcam from AutoZone Park, tarp is on! We're expecting rain overnight, but as long as WE do not have to pull the damn tarp, I'm OK with that.

3/9 News and Notes

Its been a while since the last post about our season, but we are back. We have struggled to find consistency in the last couple of weeks and the Win column has eluded this team. Guys who we were counting on to step up and lead this team on and off the field have not done so. We need more from EVERYONE. Circumstances have depleted the depth of the squad but if some guys do not step up we will be forced to make some personnel changes. We have challenged them to come to practice with a renewed attitude and ready to work to be a Champion, to work on things till they can't get them wrong rather than work on things till they get them right. There's a big difference.

We travel to Memphis this week to take on SCAC favorite Rhodes in the 1st SCAC series of the year. The goal is and always will be to win a SCAC Championship, that hasn't changed. Hopefully we have learned from our early season struggles and make ourselves better.

• If anyone is traveling to Memphis we will be playing at AutoZone Park Friday at 3pm with the rest of the games at Rhodes College.
• Friday night we will be eating as a team at Alfred's on Beale Street. If any parents would like to join us please let me know as we have reservations and need a final count.
• Spring Break is coming up and we need some help with feeding the team...please contact Sara Pilger.
• LIVE stats continues to be an issue. We get the good computer back this week, hopefully it works. But RHODES should run live stats all weekend. Check out their website for info.
• Congrats to former Petrel Andy Crosby who recently got engaged!!
