    If ya get ESPNU. I already pay WAY too much for cable and wifi/internet. I have investigated switching to streaming services but I don’t know where to start. At what I am already paying I refuse to subscribe to more $ streams. WARNING!! Nostalgia alert!! For the first time since the early...

    Wasn’t it Mark White? I guess it was Scott Frost. Thanks for the correction.

    My $0.01: The gaffe by the Emcee (“Robbie Capote”) was absolutely inexcusable. Also, trying to make it sound like a wrestling match was IMO ill-advised. The pre-match babbling by the on-air personalities was, um, awkward and pained. Their rhythm and cadence were forced and uncomfortable...

    So, lessee, that’s, hmmm, carry the one….. Where can I get 140 year old whiskey and a 35-year-old woman willing to serve it to me? Doesn’t exist and doesn’t exist. Sigh.

    Pool cue cases

    I have an inexpensive (~$100) top-loading case. I have never used a butterfly case. I hang the case on a chair back or in a corner and keep my cues in the case, with the exception of the cue in my hand. I have seen far too many cues have the tip fly off after having been leaned against a...

    Yes! “Capote”. Insulting!! Along with cutting away with the match on the line. I was watching a DVR recording. And of course I didn’t know it was moved to ESPNU and the ESPN app. The app didn’t have the rest of the match available, dammit. I had to search YT for the highlight video. Oh...

    Does playing Pool with Families or Friends mess up your real game??

    Just catching up with this thread... Reminds me of my Italian maternal grandmother, IIRC, some time in her 60s. She had a neighbor named Rudy Gerstenburger. Nanny couldn't say the "burger" part without adding "ham-". So it would be "Rudy Stenhamburger". I remember doing the same with her...

    AJ would have made that 5-ball he missed at 9-8 if it was earlier in the match. He was making much tougher shots than that one. Dunno why AJ lost the eye. He didn’t outwardly appear affected by Styer’s comeback. But probably was. Too bad. I like watching the kid. I would love to see him win...

    Styer breaks sinks the 1 but has tough long 2. Drills it. Has to break up the 4-5. Nails it. And he’s out! Styer wins 10-9!

    Styer safe’d the 1. AJ escaped but left an open shot. Styer missed a sharp cut but got lucky and partially hid the 1. Then they traded safes. Styer scratched trying to escape the safe on the 1. AJ missed the 5! HILL-HILL!!
