  1. In the 2nd set tie-breaker he jumped and spun to hit the ball at about 3-2 and lost the point and twisted an ankle. (Maybe at 2-2.) He was having some issues with it and I think that it is the main reason that his form dipped in the tie-breaker, because he wasn’t as quick around the court. Then he had his ankle taped after her lost the 2nd set and he wasn’t the same in the 3rd set. From his serve to his anticipation to his ability to endure 20+ hit rallies. He was missing something after her hurt his ankle. It was crazy how quickly he anticipated things in the first set and the. In the second when he was coming back from being down 0-4. But he couldn’t do that in the 3rd. I doubt that he’ll skip Miami, but it would be great if he could rest the ankle a week, but he will only get two to three days at most. And that’s after flying cross country when his ankle needs to be in a compression chamber… and a plane is basically the opposite of that.
  2. Tommy Paul🇺🇸 coming back from 0-4 in the 2nd set to being back on serve at 4-5 as Medvedev🇷🇺 served for the 2nd set. That two first named white boy has crazy cat-like 🐈 reflexes. UPDATE: Paul is now down 0-30. Shite! UPDATE #2: Paul reels off 4 straight points, it is now 5-5.

    1) I don’t go to College Station. Have been once and am never. Going again. 2) * “Me are” is fucking regarded grammar. Even the Mexicans & Brazilians wouldn’t butcher English like that. 3) Hopefully the concessions are influenced by the two teams, but get there just in case and sample the food outside the stadium. Trash something on campus on your way out. Maybe use some kind of week killer to kill off the grass in an area that says: 27-25
  4. Lisa Loeb: -“Stay (I Missed You)” was #1 -“I Do” was #17 -“Do You Sleep” was #18 …3 Top 20 Hits and yet she’s a “1 Hit Wonder”.
  5. Emma’s excitement upon winning matched someone finishing a practice session and heard her name yelled… …so she briefly acknowledged a possible fan or two before before proceeding to go pack her things because someone else needed the court for practice in a few minutes. She just beat the #2 player in the world who was the tournament’s reigning champ and who won the most recent grand slam. Her response was similar to someone finishing up in a library with other people studying near her, so she will try to make as little noise or commotion possible, because she doesn’t want to disturb anyone.
  6. Brandon Jones joining P.J. Locke and Caden Sterns in the Denver Bronco secondary. Perhaps those guys can help get him settled in.

  8. Korda continues to be his own worst enemy. He loves easy errors at the net.
  9. Nardi leads the all-time head-to-head.
  10. Novak is fine. He’s out of the tournament before the Quarterfinals, but he’s fine. Now he has extra time to go back to UCLA to train and watch some more NBA games.
  11. D.M.- “I know what a commitment is.” Surly- “I don't think you do.”
  12. Don’t post Owen’s bio and then insist that Luke went to UT. It isn’t a good look for UT students or Texas Exes. Correct! You could add Detroit and Chicago to NYC if you would like, but I have never lived in those cities. The basic read comprehension & basic logic have taken a real dip on this page.
  13. 1st- The tournament is over. 2nd-
  14. Luke absolutely does not have an Oscar, but I do think that he was an Emmy for “Tower”, [strike through]though not positive[/strike through]. Also, Luke spent one semester each at Occidental College, TCU, and SMU, but never went to UT.
  15. Eli Wallach only received a BAFTA Award, a Tony Award and an Emmy Award, but no Academy Award.
  16. Not everyone pays attention like we do. And there may be “no such things as a ‘dumb question’.”, but there sure as hell is such thing as “a dumb observation”.
  17. I didn’t realize that LA was absolutely a union town until I moved there. Don’t know if you ever connected “The Writers Strike” to The Writers Guild of America (union) or “the Actors Strike” to The Screen Actors Guild (union), but it takes about 1 second to make the connection. No film with a budget is made without contracts with the Directors Guild of America (union), IATSE (union), or the Teamsters (union). And then repeat for all non “reality TV” television shows and most commercials you see on TV. When I was Bruce Willis’ photo double for a MasterCard commercial about 23-24 years ago, I drove a bus about 20 feet and then stopped it. After that take, I reversed the bus about 20 feet (with a few other extras on the bus. After the next take, we were told that we had to wait for a union driver (Teamster) to reverse the bus 20 feet… even though I had just done it 10 minutes before. Nothing of any substance happens in that town without 3 to 6 unions signing off on it. I have NEVER lived in an American city as union run as LA. Napoleon, SAG/AFTRA ‘00
  18. Fat Boy Fat knew that the lyrics don’t mean shit most of the time as long as the song had a good hook. HOOK by Blues Traveler It doesn't matter what I say So long as I sing with inflection That makes you feel I'll convey Some inner truth or vast reflection But I've said nothing so far And I can keep it up for as long as it takes And it don't matter who you are If I'm doing my job, it's your resolve that breaks Because the hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The hook brings you back On that you can rely There is something amiss I am being insincere In fact I don't mean any of this Still my confession draws you near To confuse the issue I refer To familiar heroes from long ago No matter how much Peter loved her What made the Pan refuse to grow Was that hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The hook brings you back On that you can rely Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in, if you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn Make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to see What you're doing to me, this MTV is not for free It's so PC it's killing me, so desperately I sing to thee of love Sure, but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf I've tried, well, no, in fact I lied Could be financial suicide, but I've got too much pride inside To hide or slide, I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died And only then shall I abide this tide Of catchy little tunes of hip three minute diddys I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all your cities to the ground I've found I will not mess around unless I play then hey I will go on all day, hear what I say I have a prayer to pray that's really all this was And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because The hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The hook On that you can rely
  19. Sabalenka’s hard hitting seems to set up nicely for the way Stearns likes to hit the ball. And Sabalenka double faults twice and the. Sprays to forehands wide and now Stearns is up 3-1. Sabalenka seems to be pressing… and then Stearns hit an insane inside-out forehand that almost defied the laws of physics.
  20. Stern’s looking up for it after the first 3 games. ONSERVE STEARNS 2 SABALEN 1
  21. You know… They can have a persecution complex and… …still be right. For the same reason this thread exists, if all else is even, it’s fun to watch aggies suffer and whine. 🤷‍♂️ Sue me if you want, but I find that much more entertaining than watching their teams compete.
