HTTS Tourney, League, Challenge Ladder, etc.

Hey, I will throw this at you guys here in Houston and see what you think. Would anyone be interested in any form of organized competition associated with this website to let some of you guys basically put your money where your mouth is? Especially since there will not be much other organized tennis between here and the Spring. Just a thought. I don't know how committed I am to the idea anyway cause it would require me to come out from behind my veil of secrecy. If we did anything I can tell you this, no entries submitted in the name of Anonymous would be accepted. Stew it over, let me know what you think. Honestly, I really just needed something to talk about to justify a new discussion stream and this is all I could come up with.

Sounds interesting and it would also allow me to meet other players to practice with. I am in.

Long live Lord of the Strings, Thomas Reader.

Reader, a good player does not need to be talking trash. who cares that you are good in tennis. maybe that's what you do all day. most people play once or twice a week. if you're that great, why won't you play open?

Anonymous said...

Patrick Chase, why don't you post your phone or email address here so we can call you and set up a match?

The racquet is mightier than the pen.

Let's setup a system that will allow tennis players to challenge each other specifically by name. The results are posted for everyone to see. This will settle all the trash talk. Results speak for it self.

I will take on any top 4.0 to 4.5 players.

Yeah, a challenge system would be sweet. But what does HTTS stand for? What kind of rules do you propose journeyman?

Anonymous said...

Sorry Journeyman. If it ain’t got any USTA points involved in it, then I ain’t putting my name and reputation behind it either. It’s not worth the risk to win or lose for nothing.

So Lord of the Strings is Reader? Why would he insult me when I never said anything about him? Besides I don't even know him.

Patrick,
As you can see from the picture:

Reader is the dude with the chrome booger hanging from his nose. He's one of them trash talkers, but actually has a game. Like the last poster said "biggest red-neck, trailer-park, tobacco chewing, wannabe bad-boy".

HTTS = Houston Tourney Tennis Scene

I thought that was pretty obvious.

I stated that in another post as well regarding finding women instead of playing around with your computers writing garbage.

Did I read that right? "Reader beats Dibua 6-3 6-1" There's no way!I've seen them both play and Dibua looks like a much better athlete and has a much better serve.AND it was in the masters?It has to be a misprint!!

You guys should be ashamed of yourself for insulting LOTS.Hes been my coach for a while now and I know for a fact that he does NOT even read this anymore.The only reason I read it,is to see what loser is posing as LOTS next.Also I know that he never practices,but does feed tennis balls all day.Hes very out of shape but has the most talent as a player and as a teacher,we've both ever seen.So keep ragging on Thomas reader.It just seems that if you met him,you would feel awful about the things you've said about him,and you should. Probably about as bad as you would feel after playing a match against him. I would be really interested to see what percentage of the people talking crap,are actually better then Reader,my guess is about 1%.

Well said

it's probably because someone posted under his name and wrote some bad stuff about another player. if that was really him that wrote it, then they are right about him

Anonymous said...

Didn't Trautman's Dad almost beat up LOTS a couple of years ago, or is that just a rumor ?

Anonymous said...

People on here just write crap all the time. Nothing new. JourneyMan made this new thread regarding a challenge system, but how many people actually responded to the blogs topic?

We should use this tool to come together and make tennis popular once again in the Houston area. If you haven't noticed the public facilities are crap in Houston. Hell you can't even play out at Memorial Park at night without being blinded by the practice golf lights.

But alas seems most everyone here just insults another players and such.
Sad!

Who is favored to win the Tri level tourney this weekend?

Anonymous said...

What's a Tri level tourney?

Anonymous said...

A team tennis tourney with a 3.5, 4.0 & 4.5 team. Played at Lost Forest. Winners advance to Sectionals in Kingwood.

Anonymous said...

Tri Level is more of a league than a tournament.

Answer, Jason Freeman's team looks favored on paper.

Surprise! Surprise!

Anonymous said...

Jason Freeman knows how to pick em.

I am a former tour player and I am going to play 4.0 league this year. Tim Green told me i am not good enough to play 4.5 since I wasn't top 100 ATP tour, only top 150.

Anonymous said...

Hmmmmm....Top 150 you say. Well if you happen to be Michael Russell, I am willing to let you play line 2 on my summer league team.

Master Captain of all Texas,

Jason Freeman

What is the difference between this tourney and any other tourney?

Anonymous said...

In reference to the prior post about Trautman's dad and LOTS. I have seen both people,and Ray Charles could tell you by the looks of the two,Reader would fu--in bury this guy!I mean c'mon,one's a gay 65 year old Mr.Rogers,and then you have LOTS.a CRAZY looking dude with a freakin hoop in his nose.Obviously you don't want to f--k with this man.Looks like a lunatic if you ask me.

Anonymous said...

So what if Reader has a nose ring. I have a cock ring......a Prince Albert. Talk about pain.

How about a small tourney or challenge matches at Memorial Park or Lee Leclear the first weekend of the New Year?

Anonymous said...

Hey! Once again,we think the nosering is sexy!!But to the gentleman with the piercing below the belt,way to much information!To the previous posts earlier about LOTS being from the trailorpark and chewing tobacco?You obviously have the wrong guy.

No, I was being serious about who are the good looking women playing houston tennis. The responses of those acting like 10 year old boys are lame.
Why does everything have to be a lame joke?
Let's try and have serious responses for ONE WHOLE DAY!!

OK, I can be anything you need me to be.
