AC isn't Vegas.

Does anybody know where I can get match/time info?

I just gotta comment on the fact that we as poolplayers have generally gotten a bad rap as being lowlifes and degenerate gamblers and it is things like this that prove that to be a misconception. God bless and Best Wishes with your event. Thoughts: Run a Calcutta with a 50/50 payout.(It'll...

No, but a guy that looks just like me did. except he didn't have a moustache and he wasn't nearly as handsome.

Yeah, I agree. Newman did a far better job in the first movie. At least by not obvioustly abusing his cue, (although he always looks clumsy assembling it, drops it as he passes out cold at the end of game 1 and leaves it in a bus station locker) (Damn "West Side Story" for being produced the...

Anybody got a score/final on the Hopkins/Schmidt match?

This wouldn't happen if a responsible tournament promoter, oh, say Allen Hopkins, were running it.

Thank you.....Sir!

In looking at the record section of the 2006 BCA rules and records book I found 2 curious items and was hoping somebody might help explain them and fill in the gaps. 1). There are several years in witch more than 1 winner is listed or the same name is listed twice. More than 1...

To JohnnyT and Jay, I agree with you both. All I meant was that alot of what is emphasized in pool movie plots, for dramatic effect, doesn't make the local poolroom someplace where you'd feel comfortable letting your 16 year-old daughter hang out. We all know better, we've lived it. IT IS WHAT...

It was Fatty and Jack Colavita and I never heard anything good about it. Let me know if you find a copy, I'd like to see it too. Also, there's a book called "The Lions and the Lambs" thats from around that time that I'd like to read if anybody knows where I can find a copy.

The down side was that it once again brought too much attention to the predatory side of the "poolroom life". It's there, a fact nobody who's REALLY been around the game will debate, but it's not ALL pool's about. The designation "pool" itself has nothing to do with the game. It's a reference...

Does anybody know where I can locate a list of the World 14.1 Champions since (including) 1959? I have a couple of old books, like "Willie Mosconi on Pocket Billiards" that list up to 1957-58 but some contradict each other. According to Willie's book he was champ from 1950 thru '58 however...

Where'd you get it on dvd? Last time I saw The Baltimore Bullet was when Allen Hopkins loaned me his VHS copy. He told me that they actually got a tournament going on the movie set. Alot of great players in that flick.

I'm Medium. But if everyone answers with a price, I might buy one AND give them free (come'on this is America) advertising. No I really mean it I might buy your T-shirt. And if I do you might see it on some pretty girl I give it to. Now THAT'S advertising.
