i will do this.

Chris was breaking 10-ball alot better then Rodney the last time I saw them both playing a little match for a couple bucks.

Thanks for letting me know. I have never seen them play before.

The Mosconi Cup, I think -- and I may be wrong -- is 9-ball. So this will suit Rodney's style of play better, if he is selected. :smile:

That's a great pic but what I want to know is what camera settings did you use to keep the glare off of Dee and Howards heads from ruining the picture? LOL

Here's a better one taken in Vegas, July 2006. Whatever happened to this Buckeye gentleman, depicted on the left, Aaron? :smile:

Okay, one more, and then I'm going to work. I love my pictures!

Here's Shane, who will definitely make it in the Mosconi Cup, I'm sure, a California player in the middle, and I can never remember how to spell the name of the player on the right. His name is John Kuchero (sp), and I think he's from Iowa.

I dunno who the Buckeye is, but isn't that Jeff Pruitt on the right?


BTW, Matchroom is a biz. Putting 5 out there is about

M O N E Y

which conflicts with picking the best team.

The MCup is a completely different animal than a "regular" tournament or a money match. Whether a player can "take to that animal" or not is highly speculative.

Rodney embraces this animal and there's much to be said for that.

Just 'cause someone may have beaten Orcullo in a money match and beaten the top 10 in the world in the last few months does not mean that player has the makeup to succeed in the MCup.

Look at Tiger's Ryder Cup record...

JMHO

Your SO right....

Look at the past records....Shane has been a monster in tourny play, but in Mosconi Cup play. Nada....for the last 2 years. He's been beat pretty badly at that. Shane isn't by himself either....

It's a different animal....especially when you have horns blaring, people stomping their feet...ALL sorts of visual distractions going on. A lot of players come up with 'sensory overload' while trying to shoot.

It takes a special player to stand up in the heat of battle at the Mosconi Cup.....

Schmidt represents!

John should ABSOLUTELY be on the Mosconi cup team.

A class act with a Monster game.



John, hope to see you in Galveston!
