Ronnie O'Sullivan is coming to America !
- Thread starter spartan
- Start date
Thanks for the heads-up!
Holy CRAP! He's coming to New Orleans!
Ronnie O, I hereby challenge you to a match of one pocket for all the New Orleans food you can eat. (Ok, we can play 9 ball, 8 ball, or "gulp" straight pool.)
See you at Buffalos Billiards in Metairie, Louisiana or Lacy's Cue in Chalmette, Louisiana (both are suburbs of New Orleans) and you have a personal taxi at your whim.

P.S. I may have to call my politician friend from Norway to get this match coordinated. Regardless, Ronnie, is my favorite player on the other side of the pond, although I don't get a chance to see him playing pool. My young pal, Phil Burford is TOP SHELF.

Not to worry..............My best pal is a shrink so I will have back up for Ronnie O and me!

The APPLE, just put the damper on me. He said Ronnie was coming to do a little filming and some vacationing in New Orleans.
STILL, I will be on Ronnie O like gumbo on rice.

Likewise Joey..Except I would say "either side of the pond"!..I am in complete awe, watching Ronnie when he is in dead punch, which is almost all the time!..The only things that match his ball pocketing, and positional skills, (aka cueball control) is his demeanor, and crowd pleasing color at the table!
I have to believe, if he had turned to pool games, instead of snooker, in his formative years, we would have all seen a new "top dog" in pocket billiards!..Mosconi, Buddy, Earl, SVB and Efren, are/were exceptional talents, but Ronnie O, had ALL the ingredients, (including charisma) to be the best, and most popular player who ever lived :thumbup:

I have never been to New Orleans, but if the Ronny O show confirms a visit to town, I might have to make some travel plans!!!
Freddie <~~~ practicing with some Bourbon
Pack your bags. I'll let you know when he is headed this way. In the meantime, I have to get up to speed on snooker and what's going on in Ronnie O'Sullivan's head these days.

It should be a blast. I've already picked out a Cajun Buffett Seafood place to go to.
Buff said Efren coming to Buffalos Billiards is going to start a riot.
When Ronnie O'Sullivan makes it to Lacy's and Buffs, people will be going like WTH, that dude can play.
I'll just hang around with him to make sure he doesn't go too bad, down in the French Quarter.

A 1996 Mosconi Cup singles match.
Well the good news is the show finally airs next Thursday January 26th at 10pm.
The bad news is it looks like it's only going to air (at least for now) on History Channel UK, and not here in America.
I'm sure it'll be uploaded to YouTube though, or someone will post a link to the show when it airs.

I know that Americans are not so much into Snooker... but Ronny O'Sullivan is seen by almost every top snooker player as the best who ever picked up a cue! I would say his status in Snooker is even higher that Efren's in pool!
seeing Ronny in full gear - in the zone - is pure art! Nothing like him... If you guys have a chance to see him, go for it. This is bucket-list stuff.

Is it multiple segments? I know they were in the US for a month. They must have gotten a lot more than an hour. I think they interviewed Bucktooth for an hour.
I was Ronnie's eight ball fish for the taping here. He prefers to play pool left handed.

I believe it's going to be 4 episodes. I'm assuming 1 hour for each one.
Memphis!
Hope he does come to Memphis. I can play a match for Memphis BBQ and Gus's Fried Chicken!
Looking forward to Ronnie's documentary on pool

After he moves on from the frustration of losing in the second round for the first time since 2009, O’Sullivan is planning a trip to America over the summer months to film a documentary on the game of pool. “I’m looking forward to a few more exhibitions, a trip to Romania, a bit of holiday time and a nice three-week trip across America,” he said. “I’m doing a travel log programme. I’m going to New York, Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans. It is a bit about pool and local pool players are going to show us around the area. “We’re going to have fun, bounce around America and have a bit of a laugh.”
Hope he does come to Memphis. I can play a match for Memphis BBQ and Gus's Fried Chicken!
Or for a time machine :grin:
