It's all my fault...

That's what someone keeps posting anyway. Look I don't care whether you treat each with utmost respect or act like kids and cut each other down. My policy is that if I see people being attacked on very personal, 100% non-tennis related levels, I will remove it. Plus I am trying to be at least a bit PC by removing as much of the homophobic comments as I can. But I do not have the time nor do I have the interest to police every comment as it is posted. In that case, I would just start requiring registration again. If the conversations on this blog bother you, then please just don't come here.

With that out of the way, congrats to Fall Fest winners and I guess talk should now turn to Master's Cup in Austin with a little conversation thrown Lost Forest's way. I believe deadline for Lost Forest is October 9th. That might be the last one for the year here in Houston, so make the most of it.

What the hell does the last post even mean? Get out of the "woods". Is that a Deliverance reference? Is this now a camping blog? Enlighten us.

Sometimes I think our blog in Dallas gets stupid. But truly you guys in Houston have reset any concerns I might ever have about the Dallas blog. You guys are pathetic. Your attitude, language, and brains now completely align with your bayou sewer filled, humidity ridden, rotting town. You guys make Beaumont look good.

Oh yeah.

Hey Journeyman, what happen to all them adds you had on your blog?

Anonymous said...

After much research,I've discovered that the "woods" are actually an affiliate with the Aryan Brotherhood they call themselves "peckers" or "woods". I asked my Dad because he's a retired cop. Looks like someone pissed off the WRONG people. These are NOT people you want to socialize with.

Looks like journeyman might have some new friends!! Good for you journeyman. I hope you meet them real soon.

This is getting so stupid. Dan Brown's next book will have Robert Landon trying to uncrack cryptic symbols to unearth a vast, centuries-old brotherhood emerging after years of hiding all because they didn't like some posts made on a local tennis blog. Is this guy serious?

Anonymous said...

Look. Dude I'm just telling you what I found out. If I'm wrong sorry. Just trying to shed some light on the issue. It sounds like journeyman pissed off someone with an affiliation weirder things have happened.

I fail to understand what does all this crap have to do with USTA tournament tennis talk?

Journeyman pissed someone off by doing what? Having a blog? I think the name was supposed to be Robert Langdon. He is the character Tom Hanks played in The Davinci Code. I got it. Just didn't think it was funny.

Having a blog is one thing,but talking shit about people is also what journeyman does. The partial censorship of the blog baffles me. It eliminates nothing.

True story -

Since we are in down time period, I’ll tell you about one of my more memorable matches. It was a while back during summer time when I play this guy I usually beat quit easily. However that day before we started he pulled out his Glock from his tennis bag and told me if I beat him again he was going to shoot my ass. Talk about pressure on the court. But my ego got the better of me and I still beat him pretty easily. I think the score was like 6-2, 6-1. Needless to say, he didn’t shoot me because he wanted to play again the following week, and I’m still here!

Anyone has any good story to tell?

Dude you're right. I have a lot of growing up to do. By the way what's Reader?

Oh my God. Here we go again. The good news is that I haven't seen Reader post in at least 2 months. The bad news is that some poser will act pissed on LOTS behalf and start this whole thing again.

***Real tennis post***

So who are the top 4.0 players that will be able to compete in the 4.5 level when they get bumped up next year?

Anonymous said...

Who gives a fuck? I don't think its called "tennis" at the 4.0 level. Its like watching two yellow belts duke it out in Karate. It would not be fun to watch. Why don't we watch a bunch of old fucks play flag football in the "Retirement Home Bowl" heh heh. That's pretty fuckin funny.

Anonymous said...

Kallus could compete at the 3.0 level successfully.

Anonymous said...

Whoever made the retirement home comment had me in stitches!! That's the type of humor that has made this blog unique and fun to read! It almost sounds like that LOTS character is back.

Anonymous said...

that's sad to talk about 4.0 tennis. majority of tennis players are 3.5 - 4.0. let's face most players in 4.5 would get beat by 4.0 players.

Anonymous said...

If most 4.0 players can beat most 4.5 players. Then why dont 4.0 players play 4.5?

Ouch. Truth hurts.

Any masters predictions out there? Mens 3.5. Don't know. Mens 4.0 don't care. Mens 4.5. Alejandro Sanchez. Mens 5.0. John patch. Mens open. Adrian Valdez

the top 4.0 players would beat the average or below 4.5 players. look what happened at the fall fest.

4.0 that beat 4.5

gabriel over knutson
chu over knutson
chambert over orozco
chambert over griffin

Anonymous said...

Yeah, I see your point.

Anonymous said...

Come on Knutson tanked his matches in Fall Fest. In fact Knutson is losing on purpose the entire year so he has a case to get bumped back down to 4.0 next year. So Nancy Perkins(USTA in Austin) if you read this blog and you receive a letter from Knutson asking to be bumped down to 4.0 for next year please send a reply back to him that states NO!

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah.

Anonymous said...

knutson won't be bumped back, because he beat schmucker 6-1, 6-0 or something like that.

Anonymous said...

maybe they both need to be bumped down to 4.0s.

Anonymous said...

Chambert is NOT a 4.0 I don't care what his official rating is. Definite ly should be 4.5

Anonymous said...

Man you guys have no f--ing idea what you're talking about. If you are not RATED a 5.0 or above,then you're not that good. Its the simple truth. I'm a 4. 0 and I've seen a true 5.0 or open player play. Its a LOT different!!!

Anonymous said...

arya plays open all the time. so you are saying that he's good?

Anonymous said...

Picks for lost getto,

Open - Thomas Morgan
4.5 - Jen Yates
4.0 - Raul Pizano
3.5 - Dang Huynh (I just liked the name)

Nuff said.

Arya Fan Club Member said...

Arya is a solid tennis player and has had many successes in the Open Division in the past. I’m sure with few more tournaments he will become tournament tough on the court. So leave him alone. Don’t forget he showed up for his 1st Rd. match unlike someone else I won’t mention.

Anonymous said...

eventhough i am not a fan of sarosh, i pretty sure he would whip arya.

Anonymous said...

i agree, Arya is a 4.0 - 4.5 (on a good day).

Anonymous said...

I said RATED 5.0 and above. ANYONE can PLAY in the open.

Anonymous said...

McMullan is the obvious pick in 4.5.

Anonymous said...

I agree. McMullan is the favorite. Griffin has been looking really awful lately and Knutson trying to get bumped down to 4.0

Let's through some percentages around on who are the biggest trash talkers on this blog.

Persons who have never won a tournament: 25%

Foad said...

Good luck to everyone playing in Lost Forest tournament this weekend. My prediction is for some excellent tennis weather for this weekend. As for me, I’m going to rest and recover from 2009 season and get ready for the next year!

Anonymous said...

Hey Foad,You should come down to Austin and let's drink some brew.I. Haven't played much this year but I figured I'd give the rest of those few 5.0s some hell. My wife and I got to celebrate our 5 year anniversary there last year. You should bring your girl and make a vacation out of it and maybe watch me kick a little ass in the process!! You know where I am man. LOTS

Anonymous said...

Hey this is LOTS again and I just had to ask. Who is JR Pogue? Never heard of him. Are you any good JR? Just curious.

But it was me inviting my good friend Foad to Austin to drink some brew. Just thought I would clarify things since someone obviously can't come up with their own name. LOTS

Why the JR Pogue fascination over the past couple of days? The guy hasn't played a tournament since the Gallery in 2008.

Unknown said...

I don't know man. There's a lot of trash talkers on here. The worst ones are the losers that are obviously bored and try to start crap. Who cares. Anyway congratulations to my older sister Kimberley Smith for winning the 3.5 sectionals last month. She wasn't even seeded!! I ran out of gas against Manalo but no excuses. I'm ready for the Masters in Austin though. Good luck to everybody there. You'd better bring your ass down there Foad!! Bring that good lookin girl of yours.

Reader said...

Hey Reader (LOTS) you don't even live in Houston. Why are you commenting on the Houston blog? Isn't there a blog in San Antonio or Austin,,,, where ever your from. Or is that what you do, go around dropping F- bombs on each cities blog. What a looser!

GET LOST!!!!!!

One Less 4.5 For You To Rip On said...

Guess what I just discovered? There is actually an online, automatic rating appeal process that only takes 30 seconds. No filling out appeal forms, mailing to Austin, and awaiting word. I've waited the past 3 years to see if USTA would bump me back where I belong and all it took was a couple of clicks to do it myself...that and my crappy play on the court.

Reader,,, you never did answer the question.

Where are you blogging from?
I don't think you live in Houston, so why do you spend so much time on the Houston Blog.

Stay on the Austin or San Antonio blog and you won't get your feelings hurt. Cry Baby!
