Peace family will be there.Yes, Texas at 1pm on Saturday at home. Go to baseball after (at 3)
You should go Saturday. It's a good time. We went a couple times last year. We'd go this weekend, but we'll be at a wedding in the hill country. Saturday could be a great day for sportsing.Never even really thought about tennis until Jared (and Jake) started all of the talk on this board. Still haven't been to a match but I've really enjoyed following it from afar, recently. Thanks for the updates, guys. I feel like y'all are making some tennis fans here.
Suck it, Baylor!
Yep. Totally changed things

Interesting take. The exact same thing could be said for Norries match early in the third. You've got deuce after split sets and both players cheering because they think they've won the point then it goes TCU's way. Wheels fell off for Benitez after that.
To me, it was the doubles point that sealed it up. You had 4 of 6 singles split sets with some home team pushes. If BU wins the doubles then I think they split singles (Cam wins of course). Different outcome. All in all, good match and another Big 12 ring for the frogs.
You know its getting bad when Mrs Pharm wanders into the office and says, "I didn't know TCU was playing tonight." thinking it was a baseball game I was watching. When I told her I was following the Frog tennis matches, she says, (and I quote) "Oh hell no." Then commenced a "discussion" about how she understood and accepted the football and baseball infatuations and was okay with the excitement of the basketball season which was a new experience but not to expect to add another sport "to blog about with all my online friends". And note that its after 11:30pm and I'm still in the office "blogging with all my online friends." Have an idea I'll be here a while.
Did Mrs. Pharm go to Baylor by any chance? Sounds like there is a counseling session in your future.
Thanks for typing internet-words that I won't read, but suck it. Suck it so much.
G'night.
Agreed. TCU has now won 16 out of 20 doubles points this year - that has been the key to the season. We then rely on Cam, Rybo and one other guy (it changes regularly) and then we win 4. Cam and Alex have only lost one match each in singles all year and if they hadn't taken the fall off, they'd both be ranked much higher (in the ITA rankings) than they are. Cam is the highest ranked college player in the ATP rankings by far and Alex's game has improved vastly this Spring. And getting Trevor Johnson back from injury just at the right time has been tremendously helpful. To me, when Baylor moved Tchoutakian down from his usual #2 spot to #3, that more or less conceded the match to Rybakov. But if we hadn't have won the doubles point, the entire match would have been much closer.Interesting take. The exact same thing could be said for Norries match early in the third.

All I know is whatever attendance Baylor says was there last night is a lie. Watching the video there was nobody there.Great win.
I've been to a number of matches and always wonder how they determine attendance. No tickets, no turnstiles, no person at the entrance with a clicker... Anyone know?
