    My reflections on the Mosconi Cup

    Hands down, O was an integral part of this team. He never showed a lot of emotion and was everyone's rock. And besides, he was to us all what he was to Dennis. He's like this stuffed animal that you just want to hug and give a rub on the head to. He's like a younger Jay Helfert. They just...

    Mosconi Cup: Post up the funny/interesting/embarrassing moments

    So sorry. I have you all beat. Even Sunny. First day, I figured that all the AZers would do a toast with me, but none were to be found. After getting in line early and no food for bfast, I did the toast myself. $20 a round for a double! So, here I am on the corner seat as they walked in...

    Mosconi Cup - Day One

    Presuming that Chicago weather lets me get in today, I'll be seeing you all in line tomorrow. I'll do a quick hello there, and if Matchroom will let me, one on the microphone before the event. See you all there! tim

    Mosconi Cup - Day One

    Its easier than finding a place at MGM and the walk is all inside. Plus, if it sucks, we can go back to MGM. Last minute idea. There is a happy hour at Planet Hollywood, but typical happy hours suck. We'll keep NYNY for now, and change on the fly after the photo with Dennis. tim

    Anybody going to the Mosconi Cup?

    Sounds like a deal for Sat night. Of course, we should do a dinner. Ellis Island's 6.49 steak special or the surf and turf at Hard Rock. Either one is great! tim

    dennis hatch best pick

    Really! Dennis will show his appreciation in Vegas by 1) Kicking Mika's a$$ and 2) we'll do a photo op on day one. Really, do you want him here goofing off or practicing like a mad man ??? Dennis will do right by us. No question. tim

    POISON cues

    I hit with these at the Hopkins show. I was pretty impressed. Now, one thing to remember. Whether Predator, Lucasi, or Poison, they are all pretty much the same cue. And yes, the rubber grip is something pretty neat. I love mine on my lucasi hybrid. Having said all of that, you'd have to...

    Anybody going to the Mosconi Cup?

    There willl be a meeting on Thursday and one on Saturday. There will be a photo op with Dennis after the matches on Thursday. He has already consented and Luke Riches of Matchroom has said okay. I'd love to do something at Mickey's, but it is kinda far out of the way. There is a bar in the...

    Willie Jopling's death

    I met the man once, at this past Super Billiards Expo. I, like many folks, had understood Willie's prominence and knowledge for many years. Walking out of the hall one night, here is this dapper dressed guy carrying a bag of video tapes, etc. I said, "hey Mr. Jopling". He stopped dead and...

    Back in the hunt....$500-$600 range for cue

    Mark mark mark, you nut. Why not go out and get one of those Hybrids from Lucasi ? Shaft is similar to a predator. Hits very nice for a $200 some odd dollar cue. And as I've always said, it someone gets out of line and I have to crack it across someone's knees, who cares. Its only $200...

    Lucasi = junk?

    stick a predator on the end of one and you've got something that will hit just about as good as anything. tim
