I feel like everyone here is really lucky that Bucktooth didn't agree to the toss... then we'd really have nothing to talk about. How exciting would that have been? ("Wow, that was one heck of a coin toss!") A totally boring way to win or lose some money, if you ask me. :confused: If that's...

That's how it goes around here, Cubc... unfortunately, we can't just share stories and exploits... someone always has to be accused of being "wrong". And this is the reason so many are afraid to post here... public persecution is not fun. I personally think that your story was very...

Smorg, are you JoeyA's publicist?? If not, you should be! :-) You're a natural!

I think it's a great freaking story cause it shows you really can play under pressure... I know as soon as I started thinking about that mess with the $$, my game would have gone down so fast. I admire your concentration and ability to compartmentalize!! :-)

Yeah, but they still don't know who took it. Just because the kids were the last ones at the scene doesn't mean they are the guilty party. They could have walked right by and then 5 minutes later someone with pool knowledge and sticky fingers doesn't try to knock on the door;-)

Happy Birthday, Buddy! I hope it's a good one:-)

I'm not saying it's all about the money for the coach. I am saying that for us struggling pool players, it's another $50 an hour or so on top of table time, equipment, tournament entry fees, etc. The money may be the reason a lot of people don't resort to using instructors.

Absolutely, you are right... I work with an instructor who I call my coach and he is a retired pro. And I pay him $25 an hour, which is nothing. But that's really where I was coming from with my question. Would the pros in today's game (who some of them charge $75-$100 an hour to give lessons...

Most of the coaches/instructers I know either are pros currently or are former pros. They use it as a way to make extra money. Who would the pros go to if they are all relying on each other?

My goal is actually off the table. I'm looking to get more involved on the business side of things... seeking new and innovative sponsorship opportunities and getting out there to meet the people behind the scenes. Looking to see if I can combine my two passions and become a productive and...

Haha, thanks for the offer! I won't be able to make it this year though... maybe save a seat for me next year!

This is great info so far... writing it all down and checking my schedule! So, who's coming with me??? ;-)

I am starting to get jealous that so many of you will be hanging out at the DCC soon, and thinking that I may plan some getaways next year to some of the big events that everyone goes to. Being new to this whole tournament trail thing, I was hoping some of you could help me out and provide a...

DCP, you are so freaking depressing... the reason the Dolphins have heart is because individually they have worked their respective asses off to get to where they are... as a team, yeah, they suck. But they didn't become pro football players because they sat around their backyard and tossed the...

I have to disagree with this. All the "serious" sports have plenty of clowns. Those guys whose purpose seems to be not only playing the sport well, but giving people something to talk about! Terrell Owens, Dennis Rodman, Barry Bonds, Michael Vick, Ron Artest, etc. The media loves these...

Right... and if I am not correct, please tell me, but isn't the US the minority as far as getting bent out of shape for a curse word or a boob or other stuff like that?

Isn't this event only seen on PPV? Since its not network TV, I would think that would eliminate the problem??

At the risk of bumping this thread to the top and giving it more attention than it deserves, does anyone else wonder how this guy has 6 green rep boxes?? Who keeps feeding his ego? Was he always like this?

While I am not privy to the history of professional bull riding, one thing I do know for sure is that the ROI received by RJR would have been provided by the marketing efforts of the governing body (or bodies). If the marketing people at the Bud Light Pool League and the Camel Professional...

I would think that the APA, BCA, or WPBA would have information like that. You can't sell sponsorships without knowledge of your demographic!
