Jack Nicklaus.....and you could name quite a few other golfers too.

I agree that this was a great showcase for pool. Non stop excitement and credit ALL of the players for making this event the best I've seen. All of the players looked great, played with intensity, and exhibited great sportsmanship. There was celebration, but as far as I saw, no negative...

Joemac was a long time friend of mine. We made several trips together around Texas and Louisiana and always had a great time. Joe was a long time pool player and played in the Texas Open many times, with his best finish being second to Gilbert Martinez Jr. (in 1990?). I saw him play (and beat)...

RIP Scotty, left us way too soon.

Earl's antics seem to get worse with age...he has Earlsheimers.

Dick Lane was pretty much an unknown when: In 1973, competing in the U.S. 14.1 Open, a prestigious straight-pool tournament, he toppled two top rivals, Ray Martin and Danny DiLiberto. Based on that performance, he was asked to play in the inaugural Pabst Brunswick 14.1 Invitational Tournament...

The guys that were on the waiting list got bypassed also. They may have felt slighted. I think Jay did the right thing. Barry asked him to get Allen in several times, Jay refused, and Barry makes the move anyway the first time Jay takes time to grab a meal. It was a nitty move and undermined...

I would like to say thanks, once again, for your generous freebies of your very interesting book about your 'road' days. And I hope you continue to post, as you and your brother are true old school poolers, and you have a lot of knowledge and stories to tell. Keep on postin' Alfie. And I'll take...

I know you're a busy guy, but three month notice is a good amount of time.

Good story Mark, classic!

Sorry to hear of Sparky's passing. He was a super nice guy. I met him when he briefly worked for Joemac in Beaumont, TX. He had a friend (named Grover, I think) who came down and Sparky wanted to take him to the horse races, so since I was a regular at Delta Downs, the three of us went and had a...

R.I.P Lou. Definitely one of a kind and an old schooler. I saw him do an exhibition in Austin, Texas, around 1975. When he asked for questions, I asked him his opinion of Fats, and he wasn't complementary. I had one of his tip tappers too. Might still have it somewhere.

You know cleary, is that your real name? You think you are real sharp, funny, hip guy. Truth is you are just a putz. My name is Joel Sandlin, come on down to Texas and we'll have a punting contest.

This whole thread is probably just to get a few more people to watch the show, maybe he OP will make an appearance.

Several others say that's not correct, but keep spouting out bs like you know something!!

You don't know shit either. You have a good one too!!

Or screw the guy that wasn't a regular and didn't play in the tournament.

Did you ask Raphael why Finnegan wanted to talk to him in the back room before he shot?

So if we asked anyone on trial are you guilty and they say no, we should believe them? I want to know if 10 or 15 balls were racked, someone is lying.

SJD, you might be a little older than me, but you can't move on me. I bet with my head, not my heart. Efren is most likely on the decline, (I really don't know his recent past performances) and Scott is still in his prime. So I will respecfully decline, thanks anyway. Not saying it's a horrible...
