to explain the importance of Wednesday rugby to a group of softball and flag football players who rise and sleep under the blanket of athleticism that only ruggers truly provide, then question the crazy game we play.  I’d prefer they just acknowledge our awesome moves, and exceeding level of fitness, and went on their way.  Otherwise, I suggest they pick up the rock and stand ready.  Either way, I don’t give a damn what they think sports really are and the field space they’re entitled to. 

Are we ordering a Code Red for Wednesday rugby?  Let me know if you’re in. 

We’ve got sufficient players today.  Actually, given the last few weeks I feel like we’ll have 15-20, so we have more than enough.Notes:

1) I forgot my ball last Saturday, did someone pick it up? 

2) Some people mentioned last week coming earlier to Wednesday rugby, closer to 5:30 or so.  If you’re keen, go for it.  I usually arrive a bit before 6 myself and wouldn’t mind seeing a few faces already running, passing, setting things up, etc.  So if you want to come early, that’s fine.  I’m not going to stop you.  This is America.  Live your life…

Or, just respond to the blog with an “in”.   We’ve got some Brits on the way out, so let’s send ’em off with a good showing tomorrow. 

See everyone today at the Wednesday field (15th and Constitution) at 6!

Hey amigos,

Let me know if you’re in for rugby tomorrow.  It’s been a week!

Hey Folks,

Gotta make the executive decision to cancel rugby tomorrow.  Right now we only have six positive responses, and one of them is leaving at 10.  That’s not enough to play.  It may be the case that people are interested in playing who did not respond to the blog, but that’s a gamble.  The goal is to have a minimum of 8 “ins”.  

That said, if some of you would like to meet up tomorrow, by all means show up.  But from the looks of things, there just isn’t much interest this weekend.  Also, be on the lookout for poor weather.  It’s supposed to rain in the morning…

You know the drill, guys.  Let’s get some numbers for tomorrow.  Let me know if you’re in.

So we’ve got minimal numbers to play (I get the feeling more will show up though–isn’t that always the case?), and the weather is holding out.  Let’s meet at 6 on the Wednesday field (15th and Constitution on the White House Side). 

Rain may come though, so lookout for a late-day cancellation email (around 5) just in case.  Hope to see everyone there!

There’s a 50% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow so I’ll have to decide later in the afternoon if we should play, but for now, let’s assume the weather’s going to cooperate. 

Who’s in for tomorrow? 

Good to go.  See everyone bright and early.
