2 PM EST Each Day is the start time.......
Both of our young players (Shuff & Dechaine) had a couple of rough moments on Day 1. The veterans did a great job of stepping up and helping them out. Johnny using his years of Mosconi Cup experience helped Brandon out a lot.
For crying out loud, this is DAY ONE!!! Relax! Brandon will be just fine. He is a champion and has more heart than most of the people trashing him all added together. You don't get this kind of experience anywhere else but the Mosconi Cup.
I feel a lot better about our chances of upsetting the Euros with Brandon on the team, than I would with a head case like Earl.

I have a ton of respect for Brandon's game, and I know he is your boy from VA, but do you really think he's the fav over Earl?!?!You know...5 time US Open Champion EARL "The Beekeeper" Stickland!
I almost put Earl because I like Earl too and he is still playing great. There are a couple of others on the list that are real close too. But Brandon is representing my state so to speak, and the only pro I know personally since we both used to play at First Break in Sterling, VA ... so ... I'm a little biased and kept my list of favorites over Brandon real short.
1.) I highly doubt that Brandon would toast Melling.
2.) The coachs don't discuss with each other their picks, it's done blindly.
He seemed very confident during the interview after his team match with Archer.
I'm the only one, who for a second, thought he missed the 9 ball on the hill? He missed the pocket, hitting the side rail with quite a lot of speed but the pocket accepted the shot.

You also said this. "Can anyone name 7 U.S. players that would be a favorite over Shuff" to me means just about the same thing.
Hey I am not against Brandon, I like him and think he has alot of potential just hard to say "Can anyone name 7 US players that would be fav over him"
He didn't put him up against him. Both coaches put in their line up at 6 without knowing the others line up. Their are rules that go along with when you can play a match also.

Correct. Sorry about that. I edited my post.
Hatch has great team spirit and so does Archer. I am sure they are all talking and Brandon and Deshane will be more settled down today. Maybe CJ will send them some Zen Master dust as well. I expect great play today from both!! Should be great.....GO USA"-):thumbup:
I didn't realize a 40% BNR was bad. OP is a retard, how are you gonna call someone out when it's their first year. Where else are you going to deal with this type of pressure? P.S. Shane has a worse record than Brandon in the Mosconi cup as of now. Are you gonna call Shane out because he's like 12-17 or whatever? Get real.
You are correct, but it's minor. It's in the same case as typing the words blond/blonde and fiancée/fiancé incorrectly.
The writer obviously meant debutant which would actually be the appropriate word, too. It's not hoity toity.
Freddie <~~~ or he could have said newbie

^^^^ This. No question. There wasn't a clean player out there.
I'll agree, but Dechaine's mistakes made Niels' play look perfect. Maybe it was perfect.
Freddie <~~~ Shuff is completely ready
The beekeeper didn't win those titles playing the way he's been playing for the past few years.I have a ton of respect for Brandon's game, and I know he is your boy from VA, but do you really think he's the fav over Earl?!?!
Think about what you are saying. Did you even watch any of the matches? Its clear that you are just in the bag for Mr Shuff. Thats fine to be in support of a friend or a player that you like but I think you also have to be realistic and look at both sides. Do you think he played well?? Oh and comparing Shane's record in the mosconi Cup agains Brandon's is retarded.
Oh, so now Brandon is retarded...

Apologies, Fred, but I disagree. In the "blonde/blond" and "fiancée/fiancé" word pairs, the "ending 'e'" spelling of the word means exactly the same thing as its non-"e" counterpart. One is just a mere misspelling of the other.
In "debutant/debutante," however, you have not only two words which mean completely different things, but words that actually switch gender as well. This pairing of commonly-confused words is often included in writing courses as one of those in particular to watch out for, because the wrong usage definitely DOES change the meaning of what you're trying to say.
I agree, the writer could've said "newbie" or "rookie" instead. The problem is that those words are "all too common," and the writer was going for impact -- in an obviously white-knuckled way.
