I don’t have anything on topic to contribute. I did, however, want to congratulate the person who raised the question. For the last week or so the other topics on the Forum have seemed less than interesting. I was worried at first that this string might be just a mirage in the desert for a man dying of thirst, but it has turned into a mini-oasis.

Funny you should talk about trophy’s vs cash. I used to race mountain bikes, we only got trophies. One day at a pool tournament, one of the guys there was asking how much it cost to enter the MTB race's and how much money you win. I just laughed, $30 and it’s only trophy’s you win. He said screw that the only trophy I kept is the one at the end of the year when I won the race series in my category. I do prefer cash

Looks like Biado tried to dump to SVB in rack 8. Shane scratched on his first turn and missed on his second. Biado sold out on a turn with ball in hand and a dead out, but Shane sold out, too, so it didn't matter.

Very forgettable team match with generally mediocre play

Boyes just referred to Thorpe as a six-time Mosconi Cup champion. I think it's zero, but good comedy value.

Gorst and SVB have looked very shaky.

They can't blame the pressure of having to carry Tyler and Thorpe this time.

Nope. I like my cue. I’d rather it not be dirty and dinged. But I just kind of accept the natural life it will live. It is a personal extension of who I am. But also somewhere in my brain it’s just a tool. It’s there to be used and the put away so it’s ready to be used again later. I don’t care about its collectibility, resale value, or identity as a piece of art. It’s not to the extreme as Willie Nelson’s guitar “Trigger” but it’s very adjacent in my mind to that.

Biado missing that 9 ball was shocking.

SVB looked horrible, so he got a lucky break.
