Best Place To 'Hook Up', Hacker's Dating Guide

Hello, my friend. This is a public service. Tens of testosterone-filled guys are descending on the town of Mansfield for the Texas 76ers Pro Tennis Event. It is my duty to find them some extra-curricula activity after a full day of tennis.

The Tennis Hacker recommends a club that calls itself 8.0 (eight-point-oh, to help the visiting players with pronounciation.) It is located at 111 East Third Street in Fort Worth's historic Sundance Square. Eight.0 has the distinction of being voted -- year after year -- by the Fort Worth Weekly as Best Place To Meet Somone of the Opposite Sex.

Players would do well to befriend fellow tennis player Cosmin Cotet since the club is located near his school Texas Christian University.

I hope I have been of some service.

Movers and Shakers: Cosmin Cotet, Hacker's Guide to Texas 76ers Pro Event

Hello, friend. It is good to see you again. The first Mover and Shaker of the upcoming Texas 76ers Pro Event we studied was Michael McClune. Today we look at Cosmin Cotet.

Cosmin Cotet will not have to travel very far to get to the tournament at the Walnut Creek Country Club in Mansfield, Texas. He is a Horned Frog from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.

He raised a storm just a week ago at the Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He defeated the number two-ranked college player in the country (Steven Moneke of Ohio State).

He made it as far as the quarterfinals and made his coach proud. "Cosmin has really come a long way in terms of mental toughness," TCU coach Dave Borelli said on TCU's website.

Cosmin Cotet. He is on a roll.

Let me do a little more research. I will find some more movers and shakers for you. Talk to you later.
