Chase has only had one "bad" loss this year in the quarters (#37 Watt of ND) at the ITA Midwest regional. In the All American he lost to Rhyne Williams of Tennessee, however I don't see that as a bad loss since Williams just won the ITA Indoors. Re. doubles vs. singles yes you are right about the difference and pKobelt is much more dangerous in doubs.
Singles has become a baseline game, doubles is all about serve, return, dominate the net and volley, Kobe's height and skills transform very well to that style of play.
When Allare and Shuhei were matched together, Shuhei would sometimes come up with some big breaks with his return of serve, however his weakness in holding serve became a liability and Tucker finally made the switch to Koberlt and Allare.
I think it was a brilliant move and we will see the dominance this year of this tandem.

Speaking of crimes and rabbits, now that it is getting colder, I wonder if the bunnies here will try to kill me again this year, since I survived the last attempt. I did have brake problems recently...

Thanks. We have 3 sources running, but it's still tough to figure out which is sending a particular ad, and the code makes that easier. Audio is banned on all of them, so we'll have to write them about it. Now that I know there is audio, I'll look for the ad, too.

Yes, we definitely don't want audio unless you have to select it to get it to play. This ad auto-starts?

I think I have seen it, but I didn't hear audio - which could simply mean I didn't have my headphones on at the time.

Firebug is all sorts of useful.

Don't fuck with the Fighting Manginis

Well, whaddya know?

If you have Firebug, you can inspect the ad and find the link. That seems to be the easiest way.

Hi, Stranger! Look who's back! :)

No knock on Buchanan but I don't know if he had a bad fall or not or maybe it's because he has been playing higher seeds in tournaments but he does not seem to be like the Chase that I know. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on his slow start of the indoor season.
Also, is there that big of a difference between singles and doubles. I know there is but for some reason some guys seem to be pretty good doubles players but lack in the singles. I've noticed this about PK.

I'm not sure how the playoff pairings work, but if it goes by division and 1-4, 2-3... we'll be matched up as 2-3.

Actually, if the results hold up - you lose & bmac wins - I'm not sure which one of you two would be #3.

Is that how it's shaping up?

If Knile Davis is doing this to the Gamecocks, what is he going to do to UTEP against West Coast in the playoffs?

A safe pick.

Ironically enough, I started South Carolina hoping Mallett would keep up his road woes. Really though, I figured I could limp through this week (two starters did not dress) vs Litl, and then have SCar's D for the stretch run.

I didn't realize Childs was gone for the year :( Hopefully Tandon can pick up the slack.

No worries, that's the route I went, South Carolina 105th pass defense. I need a big game from him.

Sorry, missed this. I would've vote for Mallett.

Mallet vs South Carolina, or Barkley vs Arizona State???

Are you related to Maty

That img host always cracks me up, but this time is particularly enjoyable.

I dint like you

Different brother. It's not okay to unwind from time to time?

I'm getting old....4:31 and I'm ready to tap out

Soooo... how do you decide whether to go somewhere for COFFEE so you're a good influence with bro... but Pole-Dancers-R-Us with your best bud.. and who's minding the shop since you're sleeping all day long? ahhhh... the life of the rich

My best friend from back home and my brother are in town visiting. If you only knew the excessive amount of alcohol being consumed. I'm getting old

Thought you could use an avatar:

Peter Kobelt goes by the twitter name "The other Kobe." Kind of interesting that there is a 6'7" tall tennis player wanting to break out of a basketball body.
