"WTF.......he used to look up to his old man as a hero and now he tells me:
I get the helmet dude.......you're too old! If'n that don't beat all......."
Big Tyme Seniors Event
I got knocked out about 1AM by Sonny Bosshamer and that got me 4th place. Ronnie Wiseman had the Hot Seat and Bob McFerrin lost the Hot Seat Match. I left pretty much right after I lost because it was so late.
Payouts were something like this if I remember:
1st $750...
Dress Code
I'm looking forward to playing in these events for the first time. My only beef would be with the asinine "NO SHORTS" part of the dress code. Vegas now allows shorts and so should Texas IMHO. See yinz there!
What about CY?
Hey Ray,
There's a guy just up the street that plays probably a hair better than John Schmidt......his name is Cory Young. He would probably do it for a couple of Jim Beams. If you can't get Cory I know this guy not too far away named Leroy..........hold on I'll get his...
I can't wait either......
I agree Ray......this tournament is a blast. It was the first tournament I entered when I moved to Texas in 2011......so it will always hold a special place in my heart.
You were kind enough to let me (Bob Guzik) in the booth with you last year....and I had a blast...
It was a Joke....
Thanks Ray.....but I sort of wrote that tongue-in-cheek as I was referencing the fact that his name was spelled "Brandon Shiff" on the back of last year's t-shirt.......:eek:
Craig McPartlin???
I'm pretty sure it is NOT Matt Clatterbuck.....looks like it could be Craig McPartlin who I think is from Michigan?? I think McPartlin did enter the Pro Event this past March at SBE.
OK now I will watch....
My buddy just sent me a copy of the Lee Brett dvd......since you recommend it so highly I will watch it from beginning to end.......
Recruits for Fall Houston 8 Ball League....
These are a few of the guys I recruited to play in the Fall 2012 Houston 8 Ball League at Slick Willie's Dairy Ashford.....
I'm not sure how we will do because it is certainly a tough league....:eek:
Try this number.....
You should try calling him at his Pool Room (Breaker's Billiards in Pittsburgh)....(412) 531 2250.
And please tell him Bob Guzik says 'Hi' and I live in Houston, TX now!
Come on man......
When permitted I always wear my iPod when playing in tournaments. It's not because I am being 'rude' or 'inconsiderate' to my opponent....it's simply so I don't have to listen to any of the following: arguments on other tables, music I don't care for on the jukebox...
Oh that ref!!!
I think I know what you mean about that ref. He is very arrogant and seems to want to make himself stand out.....to him it's not about the players or the fans....he himself wants to be in the limelight. I don't care much for him either. He's just too cocky for me........and...
There is no hotel on site yet.....
There is NO ONSITE HOTEL at the new venue. It is my understanding that a hotel is being built but will not be finished until 2013 at the earliest. You must find a place nearby to stay......I would recommend looking into Staybridge Suites around...
