Brrr... as in a Briscoe win
"Pops, you can't be serious. The only way you'll ever beat me again is if I wear something different, not if you were to wear your stupid hat!" So responded Russ 'Hoya Saxa' Briscoe after his convincing (3-6) defeat of the TennisTitan. The ol' man was lamenting the fact that he donned his Longhorns cap rather than the TennisTitan chapeau that was left back in NY. "Russ, it was foreordained that I would lose with this cap on after last night's performance by the Horns." In a set played in NY-like weather (45 degrees, misting) at the Tarpon Tennis and Sail Club Russ answered every challenge TT could put before him. Titan moved the 6'6' sleek gargantuan around the court reasonably well, but Russ is no 'bloated behemoth' as he got to the droppers and the zingers to the corner baseline equally well. Titan showed no such ability. The Scion of Austin suggested to the Yakker of Yonkers at net, "let's stop now before either of us gets hurt in this rain and I'll take you to the mall and buy you another TennisTitan hat. Then, maybe we'll play again tomorrow." Titan quipped, "yeah, and I want to buy you a pair of snowshoes and a set of handcuffs to equalize things on the court."
