the mosconi cup will be in florida

Tyler is supposed to be the 4th person in the Mosconi Cup team.

A reminder that the USA are going to get trashed in the Mosconi Cup.

Tyler also just got out of surgery so he’s not exactaly at his best right now.

I still think we are going to get trashed lol

Never heard of "this" Reggie Jackson before, but he put up a good fight against Alex. Good match all around.

I caught the end of his 2nd match where Kang Lee knocked him out of the tournament 8-2.

What's with the giant boots Earl is wearing? Those soles must be 3 inches thick.

i've seen him with big boots before but both the cue butt and the soles have grown since i last saw him play

The player field sure has changed since the first U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship in 1976. We used to have more American pros back at that time, and today has more of an international flavor.

300K in total prize money. We're getting players from countries in Asia that we never see here, such as Vietnam and Indonesia. Once they make back their nut, I heard the Pinoys can live like a king back in the Phillippines. Same for Vietnamese. Taiwanese are out in full force.

Apparently it wasn’t the surgery he really needs, a heart transplant.

I'd guess he's decided that his frame needs to be higher to be more accurate.

Same with all the tape on his cue -- he thinks it improves how he holds and delivers the cue.

I just saw him talking to someone he needs them because he’s playing with the longer cue

Earl laying into Labutis

yea i heard that. a bit harsh but pijus should know he doesn't mean him, but the jump cue. earl did make it to the hill without jumping. at 63 years he still runs out better than most. these middle pockets are TIGHT but in the 1st match he whipped in a ball from a severe angle and ran 3 rails into position like it was nothing

 

[Zerksies]

I watched the open all day and i have to say this was the sorriest looking play i've seen

Brain fart lol. I probably hold the MC in lower esteem than the USO too...

 

[skogstokig]

for earl to get to L64 he needs to beat gabe owen, (probably) marvin asis, (probably) donny mills

 

[Black-Balled]

I think he's talking about me.

I caught the end of his 2nd match where Kang Lee knocked him out of the tournament 8-2.

And Lee is a fine 3c billiards player too.

MC is a made-4-brit tv exhibition. The USOpen is far more prest.

I suspect you are confusing it with the International Open, which is moving from Norfolk, Virginia to St Augustine, Florida.
