Hot day, soggy cougars.

Tough one on the pitch today, but another positive effort. For those not able to make it, we suffered a 1-0 defeat. Fortunately the other team did not show up in bikinis. That would made it a little tougher to swallow.

Next weekend we take 'em down.

Thanks Sandwich for getting our replacement keeper.

Game 3 - Sunday 9/14 - 3:30pm

We're playing Aguilas. I don't think we've gone up against them before, but we can only expect that the competition will be stiff.

Chances are, this won't be the other team's uniform, nor will we allow them to ply us with drink...

Great game last week! The result was a harsh one but there was some terrific team play and energy all around. It's great to have our Nougs on board, and as always we are lucky to have Alex in goal - best in the league in my opinion.

Time to get our heads set for the next one. Please show up at 3pm (this applies to me especially) to get ourselves organized and ready. With a roster as big as ours, we should have energy to spare. Let's go at them hard.

Who's CougIN?

CougIN: Sage, Emma, Lindsey, Alexandra, Kevin, Sandwich, Nick, Jacks

CougOUT: Alvaro, Deana, Trevor, Alex

Game 2 - Sunday 9/7 at 4:20pm Kickoff at Stanton Street

Avast ye mateys! We're playing the LES Pirates on Sunday. Let's show em who the real pirates be! Storm their hipster vessel! Steal the chains off their fixed gear battleship! And send them off in their scurvy ridden, PBR drinkin' pulchritude while we yo ho ho with bottles of rum and count our dubloons.

Wow... that was a lot more pirate reference than I can usually muster on a moment's notice... First post-game beer on me for the best piratical postulations in the comments...

Who's CougArrrgh?!

Labor Day Coug?

Since there's no match this weekend, is anyone interested in a Coug session on Sunday afternoon... followed by pong and burgers at the Jacks Terrasse?

Say 1pm? Any ideas for fields?

Cougars in the news.

One of our "nougs", Ventura Rodriguez was on NPR this morning. Funny, no mention of the Cougars in the clip...

Good on ya Ventura! I hope all the feedback was positive.



NEW YORK, NY August 27, 2008 — New York City has 18 new charter schools, each with a distinct personality. But only one has a story that spans almost 3,000 miles, from Sacramento, Calif., to 134th Street in Harlem. This charter school's story includes sports, politics, the historic Boys Choir of Harlem, even a federal investigation and a controversial figure behind it - former NBA star Kevin Johnson. The school opened last week, and Ben Adler of NPR station KXJZ in Sacramento came out to file this report.

A note from Bill Blaney, our man in Albion.

"I'm keeping the cougin' spirit alive over here, playing for these guys: http://www.albionfc.co.uk... Good luck with the cougs and let me know if you're planning a London team tour!"

I dare say, the man has planted a dangerous seed...

Fall Season Starts 8/24

Cougs -

we must not allow last Sunday's loss (4-0 dammit) to los douchitos grandes to dampen our spirits. After all, they continue to be douchebags, and as the heroes in this story, we know that we will ultimately win and achieve the glory that is our due. Our names will be sung in the streets, while the douchitos wallow in their bitterness and deceit.

With that in mind and with the input of many present on at last week's game and on the blog, I am going to sign us up for another season of Sundays on Stanton. As before, $75/Cougar. Payable by check or Paypal.

Checks:
Sage Ramadge
304 Sixth Street #2
Brooklyn, NY 11215





Please pay by 8/15 if you intend to play.

First game is Sunday 8/24.
