Everyone who wants a say in where the North American Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships are needs to go to bikepolo.ca, read the bids, and let me know by Tuesday. I will be reporting the thoughts of BR to one of the regional reps (Rob ATX or Ryan PCOLA) so that our voice is heard.
Both bids are very strong. Keep in mind, Madison will be cheaper in every respect, they've done it before, and Madison kinda rules.
Boston is an amazing big town, there will most likely be free lodging. And maybe we could check out a preseason Red Sox game...

New Orleans Tourny
What's up, BROLO!!!!
Good times were had at the New Orleans Bike Polo Tournament.
Team Coonass Smash (Mark L, Dustin L, Andy Tuba L) finished somewhere in the 9-12 range, out of 19 teams.
Saturday record: 2-3.
Wins against one of the Austin teams, and FTL teams.
Losses to COMO (came in 3rd,) FTL (came in 2nd,) and BOT 9 (Frazer, Jace, Paul NOLA.)
Sunday record: 2-2.
Lost first game to Lonesome Beards (Travis BR, Cien and Mikey NOLA)
Win against The Originals (Anne Savannah, Angel BR, Tiffany PCola?)
Win against a team from Mobile (Don't remember their name)
Loss to a NOLA team (Will and Lando NOLA, and Trevor from Calgary?)
Travis's team had a good run too. They ended up finishing in fourth place. They had an epic tie game against team Pandzig (Chris and Peter from Philly, Jeff NOLA) They reset and played a sudden death game-first team to score moves on.
Good times, good times.
Talk to any of us that went for more details.

Communication
Brolo-ers-----
We need to figure out a way to communicate effectively with one another. Today I spent an hour loading the boards into the Van Prix, driving them to the courts, and sitting there for half an hour waiting for folks to show up. No one told me they couldn't make it. If communication was had between some of the rest of you, it didn't make it to me.
On that note, we need to purchase some chain and a combo padlock so we can drill holes in our boards and cones and leave them chained under the highway. That would alleviate the problem we had today. Can everyone chip in 3 or 4 dollars towards that cause?
And, finally, what are teams to NOLA? Dave, Travis, and Colin? Mark? Dustin? Who else is going? We need to start playing on those teams to get some reps in. I want to know so that I can organize a team with some out of towners, if need be. Let's communicate.

P-Cola recap
So from what I hear, Dave and Travis rolled over to Pensacola this past Friday for the 2009 edition of Bike Polo Fall Break. This was a random team polo tournament with teams chosen once you get there. Dave ended up on a team with Jeff from NOLA, and they were the winning team! Way to GEAUX Dave!!!!! Great job Travis and Dave representing the BROLO style.
We will play polo this Sunday. I have heard from Nick that since the Saints are playing on Monday he will be able to make it. I hope the same goes for Colin as well. Those games last Tuesday night (Travis, Jason, Weeber, Colin, Mark, Rosanne, and Andy) were some fun games. Keep BROLO happening!

Austin semi-recap
Travis, Dave, and Colin went to Austin this past weekend for the Austin Bicycle Film Festival Polo Tournament. According to Travis, the play was good, and BROLO represented Baton Rouge in a very positive way. I believe the winning team was a team from NOLA, so props to our sister city and their polo team for showing how we roll in Louisiana. WE PLAY POLO IN LOUISIANA.
No one showed for polo locally in BTR, I think it was just one of those off weekends where with 3 folks gone, Andy and Rose injured, everyone else just sorta did other stuff.
That said, lets show up on the 16th and play some crazy polo. I haven't heard from NOLA Jeff to see if he is rolling up here this weekend or if he may stay in NOLA. But, either way, we will be there playing BROLO. Come on out!
