Pure action, everywhere.

Erman Bullard could gin it with the big rock.
Weldon Rodgers too
Keith hasn't hit a ball? What's he doing with all of his time, working a job or fishing?
There would be some serious seats sold, PT. I'd pay to see it.
Thanks JAM, glad to hear this!Online poker, horses online with his friends who are at the horsetrack, all sports games, and believe it or not, Keith has become a landscape artist in his spare time. He turned my yard into a magical wonderland, getting rid of the weeds, trimming bushes and trees, mulching.
My next-door neighbor, who is in her 80s, likes my yard so much that she asked Keith to help her too. It's not a lot of money, but it puts a little chump change in Keith's pockets and keeps him busy. He actually enjoys it. Plus, it's great exercise. I get out there and help sometimes too.
We have several elderly and senior citizens on my street. Once a week, Keith carries their trash cans to the curb for the garbage truck that comes once a week, and that evening, he brings their cans back up to their homes. He does not expect compensation for this, but at Christmas time, they give him a little jelly roll. :grin-square:
Keith is still every heavily in touch with the action players around the country, speaks to several of them daily.
I asked him yesterday about this so-called Matlock versus McCready match, and he paused before replying. Looks like it's in the works. Keith did not share this with me until I asked. I know why, but that's a story for another thread.
Oh, and to the Matlock cheerleaders, Keith said with a big cueball, he has no fear against Gonzilla or Matlock. Bring it on, says Keith. :shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:
If it happens, I hope it will be live-streamed. Matlock is a very determined player, and Keith, though determined, will be a chatterbox while he's at the table.
Efren v. Bustie on TV table had to stop because Keith v. Alex game had the whole audience at attention, even Efren and Bustie. Listen to the chatter in the background and then watch and hear the audience roar. Check it out, one of my faves: https://youtu.be/lpoCzvT3dhM?t=4521
If this happens, I'd like to place a bet.
.........
On which side? If they make this happen, I'll be there.

All you have to say is it will be streamed and I will pay in advance.
I have been wanting to see this match for about 30 years.
JAM may be playing the old hustlers line, "I haven't hit a ball in months", but the last time I saw Keith at DCC (about a year or two ago, he was hitting em pretty damn good....)
Dont under estimate EITHER of these guys.
I was interviewing Kim Davenport for a book or magazine article years ago, and he said his greatest attribute was the ability to get back in stroke quickly after taking a break. IMO, Keith and Dave, wouldn't need much time to get back in stroke. Not 100% but pretty damn strong.
Make it happen, you know everyone wants to see it.

I think it is a bit "easier" to get in stroke for a bar table match than a big table match.
Neither of them are going to be able to "do" what they did 30 years ago, but they both are equalized by the same amount of time.
What are the odds of this going off?
JAM seems to think it is all wishful thinking.
better be at shooters so I can drive 30mins to watch....Dave sits and watches me hit balls all the time and it makes me nervous lol I could play with 100 people watching and be fine...but i know Dave is thinking in his head " what is this clown doing hitting the ball like that" lol
