The 2nd week of Die Hard Cup kicked off with many of the players determined to insure their team a victory. Despite the fact that the Die Hard Cup is a summer league many of the guys are leaving nothing to chance. Some of the early notable matches were Justin “Raver” Warnock beating Andrew “Beavis from Beavis and Butthead” Caille in five games. Another exciting early match was Mike “Professor” Twiner against Tom “The Owner” Porter. Twiner used his patent cross court shots to defeat Porter in three games.
The most interesting match of the night was watching Barry “Dive Guy” Garant play Dan “Silky Smooth” Driscoll. Garant’s style of play is not always pretty to watch but it is effective. Driscoll on the other hand was very smooth and fluent on the squash court. Watching this match was like watching an old episode of the Odd Couple. Driscoll made it clear from beginning of the match that he would have no part of Garant’s all over the court style of play. Driscoll kept his shot selection to tight and deep shots in the corners. These shots forced Garant to be defensive. Driscoll maintained this approach thoughout the match and defeated Garant in three games. This win proved to be extremely important as it allowed Team “Vets” to break the tie with the Assassins and claim victory over them.
The foremost important match of the night was between Mike “Muscle Shirt” Wilbur and Konstantin “The Runner” Houbtchev. Wilbur has made a career of intimidating his opponents by flexing his forearm muscles while wearing his signature muscle t-shirt. This intimidation technique has worked well for Wilbur in the past until he ran into the father and son combination of Konstantin and Stefan Houbtchev. Last week Stefan (Inserted Photo) who is only entering the 8th grade laughed at Wilbur’s forearms and quickly put up a 2 game lead. Wilbur worked hard to force a fifth game but ran out of gas. Following the match Stefan made the comment that maybe Wilbur did too many bench presses before the match. Wilbur was quick to respond and he would get his revenge against Konstantin. On Tuesday night Konstantin played Wilbur. Not much had changed for Wilbur because he again gave up a two game lead before making a comeback that only stretched the match to a fourth game. After the match Konstantin stated the he thought Wilbur might try a new technique instead of bullying his opponents in order to win a match.

I feel more like Butthead than Beavis this week after letting DJ Jazzy Justin James crawl back from the brink of eternal despair.
