Jay do you know who won in 1990??? I have been trying to find any print on the 1990 Coors version, and am coming up dry. I don't remember who I played in the finals. She won, but second was $4k. Karen Wold got 3rd I believe. No idea what guys got to top in their division. Surprised it did...

I was feeling sorry for myself for being sick with a weird lingering cold, and doing badly in 2 state tournies during that time. But, staying home so much, I at least got at sorting out my old pool mags. Going through them so steadily gave me a new perspective on a scenario I had known about...

Thanks, Well it seems so wild to me that this tournament with a big sponsor, paying very well, never made it to print that I can find. I even asked Coors if they had info, but they didn't. And Mike P from BD didn't have anything. I made the mistake of not writing stuff down, and with a...

I just read about him in an old pool magazine of mine. They said he did a trick shot of a 15 ball combination. Did he show you that??

So, I am looking for information on this tournament. I don't have any results clipping for it. Was around 7/10/1990. Maybe at the Sahara. Anyone have any knowledge if it had any write ups in any of the magazines ???

Yes, I was just watching a NYE, orchestra concert from Vienna, and the host said that Brahms and Strauss played billiards together. I thought that was a fun fact to post, and them was also surprised they limited it to U.S.

I knew Weenie Beenie from tournaments. It sounds like he won the money playing pool. I got the impression he gambled a bit, so more likely that was as tourneys didn't pay that high.

?? Professor. - Grady Matthews. Is he still alive?

Makes me feel better to know he didn't pass away alone and sleeping outside.

Well thanks. Not sure where I saw him, but enough to remember the name, which is saying something at my age.

What is the name of your book? AND,,,, was there ever any print on the 7/10/90 Coors Natl tourney in Vegas? I was working on a pool scrapbook, and could not find anything on that. I played so much I don't remember a ton of stuff, like who I lost to even. Was trying to save my daughter...

I remember the name Bob Ogborn,, was he a big guy, and did he sell cues? Or just have a really big cue case?? My memory sucks

Don Edwards

St Louie Louie. I feel sad that the stress got to him, just so many of us are all in on the game

Bushwhacker was Gary Nolan. Funny story: Gary was playing JR at tourney in Chicago, and bets were flying, but people got wind that the fix was in, JR was about to take a dump. Gary's folks get clued in and jump on the bets on JR, and Gary left the 9's in the jaws where JR would be ridiculous...

What was Alley Oop's real name. He was in WI sometimes.

I agree, cool cat wasn't a good fit. But speaking of fit, I believe he told me he made his clothes. So "the tailor" might have made more sense.

Book???

I knew Waterdog from Milwaukee WI. He was always so nice to me, and I worried about him. I lived 2 hours north so got there a couple times a month. He seemed to be in his best health then. Heard stories of him collapsing a vein in his leg after he had left the area. Have a nice pic with him...

Cornbread Red, I think was Billy Burge. I was happy to start playing when I did and get to meet so many of these players. Mosconi was my idol, and I was lucky Dolly Eckstad would come to events and invite Willie and the Balukas family and others to lunch,, oh and me? Jean was a big idol of...
