Doubles
this was the first college meet ive been to so i didnt know what to expect.
the doubles was really fast
they had really fast hands but also with a very soft touch
they were pounding the ball
the #1s for OSU had slower seves but made up fo it with there quick feet
i really only watched the #1s
UI won the dubs point

Singles
this was a whole different game
i watched Ryan Rowe for UI he was good but lost because he lost focus
the # 2s for both teams i thought was better then the #1s
they had such long rallies and were pounding the ball
it was entertaining
Ruban G. for UI was amazing killer FH
the #3 match was wierd
in the first set the guy from OSU shamked a shot and it was in on the other side. so the guy hit
the OSU guy was facing the fence
The coach yelled at him and set " Stephen your shot was in!!!!!"
Stephen won the math in 3

Other
i was amazed to see how hard they hit
the serve placement was awsome
there was a lot of " cmons!" " Here we go Buckeyes!"
very team oriented

Rackets:
for you gear junkes like me
3 k 95s
2 pure drives
2 areo storms
1 microgel radical
1 flexpoint instinct (surpising)
4 pure storms/pure controll ( couldnt tell)
1 POG
1 Prince diablo
1 yonex
1 flexpiont prestige

in all in was fun and I had a great time
sorry for the long post

His brother John isn't that bad either. Plays here at Michigan State. But Matt had a broken bone in his ankle this year. I cant see how Matt played in the dubs. When OSU was in E. Lansing Matt didn't play and went to the hospital and had a broken bone in his ankle. His ankle was pretty screwed up then. But OSU is a great team. They killed us 6-1. The big ten is getting very good! UofM has an awesome team. Jung is a very good player. Indiana and Wisconsin both have very good teams. What we had 6 teams qualify for the NCAA championships...that is pretty good if you ask me.
