    Mathew Stafford is on the trading block. I didn't really mean to pick him in the draft, so if you need a QB send me an offer.

    Let's go, I'm looking forward to trying to defend my title! I'm good with drafting however y'all want, I think we went by previous year finish last year, so I certainly wouldn't be opposed to that :grin:

    College Tennis Recruitment Video (still under construction)

    Great video! I would personally suggest cutting out the first 2:30 and just displaying the tiebreaker, but either way would probably work. The main things coaches care about is if you can win matches for them, they really don't care how pretty your strokes look.

    How Do You Play High Court-Low Court?

    If I am reading that right, then no, it does not matter which side of the net the people are on. Kids will have to switch sides of the court sometimes, and you are correct, there is no particular pattern for which side the kids play from. I am sure there is a way to do what you are thinking, but...

    How Do You Play High Court-Low Court?

    Hard to do this without a picture, but hopefully this helps. Lets say you start off with 8 kids, we'll call them kids 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Then, you would have four positions where they play points down the line; the top spot which we'll call A, the second spot which we'll call B, the...

    Your Plan A and Plan B

    Plan A: Big serve, big forehand. I want to hit as few backhands as possible and hurt the opponent whenever I get a look at a forehand. Plan B: If that doesn't work, then I will throw in some serve and volley, chip and charge, anything to get them out of a rhythm and put pressure on him. Plan...

    How Do You Play High Court-Low Court?

    I think I understand what you are saying, it is called up and down the river where I am from. The game works like you mentioned by having people play points out down the line. You can either play to a certain time (whoever has the most points after 5 mins) or play to a number like 11 or 15 and...

    Do you mess around?

    Definitely! Its not too often, but every now and then I will mess around and try out my one handed backhand (aren't they so fun to hit!). I was practicing with a buddy and we had a bet once on who could win playing only with a continental grip, stuff like that. It adds a little bit of enjoyment...

    Which pro player do YOU most play like?

    For me, probably the best comparison would be a guy like Sam Querry. Big serve, big forehand that I can dictate with, and serviceable volleys that can get the job done when I'm at net. And also no backhand and slightly sub par movement to go along with that.

    Slice Technique

    If I am reading this right, then you are doing exactly what you are supposed to. When hitting a slice, the racquet face is never really supposed to be closed. The backspin comes from extending the racquet out through the ball with an open racquet face. The only way to get backspin on a ball...

    How does an airplane disappear?

    And another twist -- apparently Malaysian military radar shows that the plane turned around and made it to the Straight of Malacca. No wonder they couldn't find the plane, the search was on the wrong side of the island! You would have thought that would have been information that might have been...

    Fed : Top players are too nice to each other

    I completely agree. Next time Fed beats Rafa or Nole, his post match interview should go something like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7mlnm3rfnww#t=12 Just replace Corner with Tennis Player, and Crabtree with Rafa or Nole, and ratings will go through the roof!

    What is the NTRP level of a teenager futuro pro player?

    To be top 400, I would say VERY minimum 5.0 by 14 and then 5.5-6.0 by 16. It is tough, really, really hard to make it out there.

    Trusting the coach: not always possible

    I believe that it is important to question the coach on something that you don't understand or contradicts what you have heard. If the coach cannot explain why he holds a specific view, then I think you have to wonder about the validity of that view. I think a truly knowledgeable coach will be...

    France the only team which can stop Switzerland this year?

    No, the USA will win. The duo of Stan and Fed will in the end prove no match for the duo of Querry and The Donald. We all know that lefty forehands to Feds backhand will be the difference maker.

    This version of Murray much better than 2012-2013.

    :confused: The fact that the court is slow benefits Fed much more than Murray. For someone just coming back from an injury, this wasn't too bad of a result.

    from d1 to d3 (a transferring thread)

    I believe Goran answered your second question, but for the first question, I would say contact coaches as early as is allowed. Coaches are trying to put together their teams for the next year right now and if you wait too long you run the risk of a team that you could have played for not having...

    Tryouts/Walk ons

    The player first needs to contact the coach at the schools that he or she are thinking about attending. From there they can see if walking on would be a possibility, as the tennis teams are different sizes at different schools and the coaches obviously have different philosophies. In order to...

    What are your rituals?

    I don't have too many rituals, but here is a couple that I do. My towel always need to be lined up in the center of the court. So when I get up from changeovers I walk to the center hash mark on the baseline and then walk straight back to the fence to set my towel down. When I serve I always...

    from d1 to d3 (a transferring thread)

    In regards to admissions, athletics can occasionally give you an extra little push to solidify your admission, but it won't make up completely for grades. So if you are on the bubble of getting into the college then the coach can give a little extra help. This is my understanding from talking...

    TW Fantasy Football 2013

    Yeah, this is the best and most successful team that I have ever put together too. This weekend should be interesting though, we both are projected to have about the same number of points. Lets see what happens, and hope Jamaal Charles takes a wrong turn going to the stadium. :twisted:

    Do you hit better in practice or in matches?

    I hit better in practice. I am looser because there is less accountability if I miss a shot. I can hit out on the ball without worrying quite as much that it has to go in. In a match I tend to tense up a little bit and not play as well because I don't want to lose.

    :) Hey, as long as Alshon keeps on keeping on, that's perfectly fine with me! I just am too lazy to find out what the tiebreaker would be if Huynhners loses.
