Young guns challenge Hatch and Strickland

[terryhanna]

Young guns challenge old school players to a Mosconi Cup Type format match.


This is great some of the Mosconi hopefuls getting the opportunity to compete against each other head to head.

They just beat Archer and Morris in the same type match.

Got to give the young guns credit for stepping up to the plate.. :thumbup:


That is Mosconi Cup captain Mark Wilson looking down, these matches might be a big factor on who his wild card picks are for this years team USA

How about Sky challenge Dechaine 10b(9ft table) race to 30 for 10K?

I'd pay to watch that.

Sky would have trouble fading Mike's break.

well if Dennis gets Mike as his partner instead of Earl we will get a chance to see Sky and Mike play.

 

[gxman]

I do not believe Earl has gamble for years now.

Earl wont be gambling he will be sponsored in a challenge match

I think Dennis is the one that said him and Earl would play in the 1st place
Justin is is just saying they will play.

 

[ed2000]

i wouldn't think Mike Dechaine would be consider a old school player if so SVB would be to..along with most of the ppl that play pro level.lol

If mikes going to get him he better do it now ,, I think Sky is going to be better than MD when it's all said and done

like every other American player (except Shane on many but not all days), I think Sky would have trouble fading Mike's everything.

Sky may not break as hard but knows where the head ball goes.Good match

Sky/Bergman vs Hatch/Strickland would be close, but I'd make the youngsters a slight favorite.

They'd be underdogs against Hatch/Dechaine.

On the outside chance that thee is anybody anywhere who thinks Earl is Dechaine's equal, please be reminded that when they matched up in a long race in 2014, Dechaine won by 25-11.

How about Justin go to university, take a few classes in English, and improve those skills as well as his pool skills?

I like Justin. I want him to do well.
I also want to see a more well-rounded individual "on the winner's podium" when he represents us.

I want my champion pool players to be able to speak/write/read proper English first, top-notch pool second.
There's no excuse in today's world, people!!!

It's okay to push our progeny towards playing pool, but don't forget that education is just as important.
The BEF's mission speaks to that end—follow suit!!!

On a big table Mike has the advantage for sure… But I wonder if Mike would play Skyler on a bar table?

 

[amicenheimer]

Just in case there is any confusion; Dennis is the one that proposed this match.

 

[Johnnyt]

I have to think anyone that plays in these new guys/old guys matches is eligible for the 2015 MC. What was it, a 1 year ban on three players? So Earl, Morris, Hatch can be on team again? Johnnyt

I've got your progeny right here man.

Seriously,
I want the lion to lie down with the lamb.

Mostly I want to watch good pool and leave judgmental prejudicial crap at the door.

Post your number and offer some free lessons so he can save his money for pool.

Sorry for impugning the police. I know the job is tough, but there is a lot of sadness on the streets lately. I will take that out.

Luke Riches of Matchroom Sport was asked that question in his American Billiard Radio interview on March 5. He said that no players are banned for 2015; there is no black list.
