    Did Souquet try to do the right thing?

    Ok, there's lot's of threads on the CSI Invitational that contain wild speculation... Well, here's another one. Ralf is taking a lot of heat for having his actions help cause this situation, many thinking there is more to it than just plane scheduling problems. So did Ralf just try to do the...

    Mosconi Cup - Great Entertainment or Serious Pool

    The Mosconi Cup is very popular, exciting, and highly anticipated each year. But with the short races, do you think it's meaningful as a barometer of which team is really the best? Do you like it just like it is or would you tweak it a little? How about the selection process? Tell me your...

    Don Willis vs. Vernon Elliot

    These two guys were top players that pretty much stayed under the radar, not playing in tournaments. There have been some threads about both of them. The question I was wondering about is (for those that saw these guys play) who was the stronger player? Wiki shows that Willis was born in 1909...

    Efren's Hill-Hill Nine Ball Against Appleton

    OK, watch the shot, particularly Efren's pre-shot movements. He points the cuestick to a spot on the endrail near the corner pocket opposite from him. Then he, pretty clearly IMO, looks down to the rail nearest him, and points to (or picks out) a spot inside the first diamond (points to it with...

    When is LWW coming back?

    I really don't know the particulars of his banning, but just wondering when he will return. I always thought he offered his opinions in a respectful manner, despite the lemmings of the liberal left spouting the party line with no real point. Come on back Larry, your contributions are missed...

    Ronnie Allen Stories

    I posted this link in another thread. These Ronnie Allen stories are pretty good, he's a good storyteller, and you definitely get some idea of a hustler's life from a few years back. I tried to search and see if there's a prior thread, and didn't see one. So, to those of you who haven't heard...

    Dick Lane, Does He Still Play?

    I was watching the Texas Nine Ball Championship, and remembering the few times I went to watch, and thought about Dick Lane. I haven't heard anything about him in awhile and was wondering if he is still playing pool.

    Rules Question in Match at Texas Open

    I was watching this tournament online, as Bigtruck is streaming it and doing a great job. Thanks Ray. They have announced several times that no game can be conceded. If it is done, the penalty is loss of that game and the next game. Last night in the Owens-Zaid match, Gabe was on the hill and...

    Water Damaged Slate

    I'm posting this inquiry for a friend of mine that covers tables. He recently worked on an 8' Olhausen with three piece 7/8" slate. The owner told him after he was well into the job that the slate had gotten wet. The particle board attached to the slate got wet and absorbed water and is now no...

    Happy Birthday Hemicudas ($Bill)

    Hope you're having a good one $Bill. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, but I have really enjoyed reading your posts on the various pool forums. You have a vast knowledge of pool and pool players, and always remain a gentleman. (Nice way of saying Happy 60th Birthday, you old fart.)

    Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins

    Here's a link to a story about the former snooker champion. Sad to read about his downfall. The story is from 2002. Is Higgins still alive and well? http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,803087,00.html

    Pool Players that play the Ponies

    I don't know about todays players, but a lot of the pool players from years back also loved to gamble on horse racing. I used to see Danny Jones at the Louisiana tracks a lot, most of the trainers knew him well. Also, Jersey Red, I met him at Houston's track, he was a regular. Just wondering, if...

    Great Woofers/ Woofing Lines

    Many years ago Fats was in my town to do an exhibition. After the exhibition he showed up at the action place in town and a local shortstop got up the courage to challenge Fatty... "Hey Fats, how about some $50 nine-ball?" .... Fats responded, "I pay the rack boy $50, now what do you want to...

    He was a UJ Puckett protege

    What was his name? I was thinking his first name was Frank. I may have him confused with "Little Squirrel" Thompson. (Because I was thinking Frank Thompson) The guy I am trying to remember died young, from cancer, and won the last tournament he played in, even as he was very sick (in Vegas?)...

    Are you still playing pool? I saw you play Tommy Sanders, from Beaumont Tx, once. Great match. Saw Tommy the other day, he was working on his game. I think he was going to move to Round Rock, Tx. He is very religious now ands says he quit gambling.

    player from distant past...phillip hyde

    Any one remember Phillip? From SE Texas. PLayed in Houston some. He could really play... especially when he had his medicine right. He beat Buddy Hall a set, but lost once he found out who he was playing. Anyone remember him?
