Not sure anybody really knows what started this all , but McKeesport says he knows puncher and that he is a non drinker so he's not drunk , he looks about half a head taller than the drunk punchee . He is setting his feet up for the roundhouse or right hook , what ever you want to call it . If...

What's with the incredulous WTF????-? Are you waiting for everyone to bum rush my comment and agree with you ? It means what i said .

The guy took two good punches and got up on his own feet .Would have been nice to see him come back in and scatter the crowd of antagonists with some shrapnel.

May have been reason for some of his body language , how could i miss .:wink: I'd say there was a little television pressure on them . Wonder what size the pockets were ?

Top level poker tournaments are funded by the entry fee's , exclusively , very few with added money funded by casino , and poker has a worse image problem than pool , especially online poker and the cheats at Fulltilt and others . If the prize pool is funded exclusively by the players , poker or...

Not saying that pool players should wear a suit but look at some of the snooker events where players are in tuxedos, it portrays a completely different image from 8-ball and 9-ball tournaments. Snooker portrays a stuffy image to me , that is just my view , it is overkill as far as dress , it...

Maybe the tournament promoters should decide this . I don't think it should be to the level of snooker .Don't think anybody is going to worry about a 40 dollar bar table tournament . Maybe twill pants with polo shirt and casual shoes at something considered pro level event , if the promoter...

Link to Crane - Balsis match on Youtube . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k06-M12lQWE I'm guessing the ref is just inept or nervous due to it being televised . The producers of the program may have let them know there were time constraints and to play as fast as possible . They may have told...

Believe his last name was Tubbs . Think he worked out of the Billiards Den in Richardson for a while .

Early form of the telestrater , only pre-shot.:wink: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/09/sports/jimmy-caras-93-champion-at-pool-dies.html In 1962, Caras defeated Mosconi at the New York Athletic Club in a match taped for ABC's ''Wide World of Sports.'' He won a modest $3,500, but the plush...

Thx , enjoyed that . Really a stark contrast to what we see in pool today , even the audience . This was an event in an era of 3 TV networks and limited entertainment options as compared to today .Seldom do you see the term invitational used today.

It's insulting to the great players that are in Colorado for Charlie to use "Colorado" as part of his nickname. He's not even from the area Not trying to be a wise ass but in 1965 Colorado had 2 million people , today there are 5 million , unless your a Ute indian your parents are likely from...

The moving coins from pocket to pocket works great for keeping track of how many beers you have had . If you have a limit when your away from home and don't want to get drunk .

Wow , things turned out great D , it looks cozy in there . Can i say that ? LOL . You can have your own family and friends tournaments .

Did you play 7 ball rotation with remaining balls after Fast 8 on bar table ?

Same to you . Is it true that the return flight from the PI is faster by couple of hours due to winds ?

I can kind of understand both sentiments expressed . My Dad's cousin(Bob) use to tell one of my brothers and i he was going to takes us fishing at the lake nearby and also check his trot lines . He had to drive by our house , we would see Bob drive by with his fishing and drinking buddy but...

There was an enormous guy (pro bodybuilder or fullback-sized guy) seated two rows in back of Earl's player chair, and every time Earl missed, the big guy would cheer and clap so loud it really rattled Earl. The guy would give him a leering grin of pleasure and keep clapping as Earl returned to...

5/16 x 18 are common pins Schmelke amd Meucci use them . Go to any online retailer who sells after market shafts and they will have them. Only problem you will have is finding them without collars .

Very nice , i'm jealous . Old room feel. All pool table pictures require a full rack though :grin:
