Thanks as always, Pat. This is yet another confirmation that 14.1 is the Championship Game.

I can’t believe that Hopkins could sink any ball. Terrible fundamentals but he just keeps making them

[Muletom]

Man I can’t believe it was 50 years or more ago that Jim and I used to go to the Jersey pool rooms and hustle shooters. Great times . Great person and good fun. Yea I’m 78 and we both grew up and hung out in Scranton, Pa. 😊

When I was 17 years old, I was the best pool player in Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. I ran 62 balls in a row once. I went to Scranton in the Lackawana pool room and played Jim Rempe. He was 18 and I was 17. I don’t know if I ever beat him, but I was good enough to play him.

King James one of the best mental games ever in pool always gave himself a chance to win with a positive attitude.

[Cranemanw]

Wow, what a game that was. I was on the edge of my seat for the last half hour.

[hairpig]

Allen Hopkins' stroke just cured my hiccups.

[robertharris]

They must be playing on a shot clock. I don't remember ever seeing Rempe get around the table that fast!

[MarkZager]

People thought I was going to be a professional pool player, but I went to medical school instead and became a well-known doctor in Miami

What is with that Allen Hopkins stroke, he has no backswing, it's maybe 2 inches, it's a poke stroke, almost no backswing, and the strangest thing I have seen in my 39 years of playing high level pool. I currently play in the ACS pool league in the Masters division. I have 8 MVP awards and 2 city championships in the last 8 years of play since 2016.

WHY are accu-stat videos the lowest quality videos of all pool videos posted on YouTube???
