i have to be in alexandria tomorrow. anyone want to hit?
^^^^^
I think it would be wise to not have UNC Winning your bracket
WVU wouldnt surprise me if they made it to the Final Four. The team is that capable.
But they are also capable of losing focus and getting bounced by Dayton in the first round.
I have them losing to Knasas in the 2nd round though. That matchup doesnt favor them too well.
is the Rover getting fixed or farked, HW????
good clinic fellas! i'm just glad my knees and back held up.
sorry about that underhand serve Magma! just wanted to try that out.
FED v VERDASCO soon. I better be able to watch that online.
if anybody is successful.. plz post how. i'll try that channelsurfing.net deal now.
I missed a bunch of games but all the teams I missed I only had winning one game anyway.
I didnt have Wky winning against Ill. Had I know the starting PG for ILL had a broken hand that would have been my pick for the 5-12 instead of AZ over utah.
But Man did VCU make it a close game against UCLA.
asian witchcraft? muahahahaha. that's evil dood. it doesn't sound particularly great though. i was always of the mind that i'm a lazy counterpuncher and junk baller. which isn't terribly effective. lots of slices and dinks and some short angles with the idea that i want 95% of my opponents up at net where they typically suck a golf ball through a rubber hose. and then lob or hit a passing shot or make them hit said volleys. i would rather transition to the pounce on short balls and approach and end points at net paradigm.
i gotta lot of work ahead of me and i guess mooching racquets isn't the best path to consistency. BUT!! i just bought new racquets again. should arrive next week. AND i may force myself to play with them for longer than a week. give them the full rogering.
i wasn't aware that JRK was with us last night. did you hit with him earlier? later? or just a status update on how we're doing.
also what would your critique of our clinic mate -- D -- the guy with the big strokes and ubiquitous aeropro drive cortex?
Yeah, I thought that VCU kid had that last shot nailed, but YouSeeLA's guard didn't bite on the head fakes and stayed with him all the way. Gotta hand it to him - pretty slick defense.
I got lucky with the Big 10 picks - Michigan and Purdue wins, Illinois loss. Need similar luck to day - Ohio St and Mich St to win, Wisc to lose. I have Mich St all the way to the Elite 8, in fact. I really like Izzo's coaching style.
I'm also heavily invested in the Big 12 (3 to the Sweet 16) although I like West Va to get by Kansas and make the 16.
But I'm mighty worried about my Tigers; gotta score to win, and they won't get 35 from a bench guy every night. I have them in the Fab Four, but they could easily lose to the Turtles or, if they win that one, to Mizzou.
Ain't this fun?
And to all you Sup Clinic grads - great work. Wish I could be with you. Wise Sup is in the ways of winning tennis, so listen to him you should.
^^^^^^^
Ohhh Ohhh Me me what about me?
Not free sticks, but the whole game critique thingy
So thanks to Topaz, she let me borrow her Ktour racquet. I went out and hit against some of the guys at the club. Nice racquet, but it needs lead and regardless, I couldn't get a great feel for the serve.
Why don't you do a Captain's log edition for the flattest hitter in the TMAC?.......................................
By that I mean PP.
I always wanted to have a hit with that new Prince stick that Monfils is using. It looks great.
Did you win with it?
The lack of power on serve worries me as well...though it didn't seem to be a problem in clinic Wed. night.

Good overall analysis, Captain.................Morgan. Jaja.
I have plenty of portraits of myself in my room at home. But one thing I don't get is: I thought El Jefe wanted me to follow the path of the talented Latvian redhead. That's what I've been doing: Hitting forehands beyond my power threshold even though it goes in only half the time.
P.S. Pureprestige and I thought about venturing to No. VA to participate in the Skyline doubles tourney today. However, we did not have the courage to ask any female players to play doubles with us.....
P.S. Still no takers for the matches tonight. Ugh. Good luck with basketball Topaz. Remember "box out, box out!" (pictues Topaz wondering why a cardboard box is needed).
I hit some wicked backhands, but when it came to serving I felt like I was hitting a wall with a wet noodle. Maybe some lead at 12 would help, but thats messing with what is already a nice racquet.
Granted, my expectations for serve are pretty high up. I was hitting against M and A at the club. They insisted I go for aces. Not one with the Ktour. Picked up the Babolat and hit maybe 7 out of 10 for aces. PPL was there to witness.

Oh that reminds me. ProPrestigelover came out to hit for half an hour yesterday. We had a mini lesson and boy did he pick up his game quickly. With some good lessons he could be wicked fast and dangerous for the chipmunk he is.
Great work PPL.
