He seems to be particularly interested in the ~2005-2006 era. I wonder if there is something to that.
I thought he was genuinely interested initially with his other "dreadgings," then I saw this thread with Earl in there already.

Earl was indeed inducted in 2006.

When I saw the title of the thread I laughed. Then I opened it and realized it was started in 2005.
Parica not in HOF is a joke.

Nobody deserves it more than Earl Strickland. He is one of the greatest pool players that walks the earth.
yes my mistake. I was very perplexed reading the thread because i knew Earl was on the hof, but I don't know why I didn't realize it....
I'm gonna red rep everyone who bumps ancient threads for no reason.
I know that sounds gay, but if there's no other recourse --- might as well.

Great Talent, hes definitely a H.o.F. Player ...
As far as off the table ,I dont respect him,due to his arrogant ,snobby persona.....

No kidding. It's really sad there's not more outrage.
Those are the tell-tale signs of 9-ballers, Neil. They don't read the whole rack (thread) before shooting; they only look at the lowest-numbered ball (post).

Yup, I wish there was a "super soaker" version of a red-rep pistol. I know I'd take some kidney stone meds, go behind a tree and "load it up" just for this occasion...

Earl was inducted in the BCA Hall of Fame in 2006 (I'm a member of the USBMA who is the nominating and voting body for the HOF and in fact voted for Earl that year.)
The USBMA is the United States Billiards Media Association, which is comprised of all pool and billiard media professionals. The USBMA also includes several respected sport historians and industry leaders who have demonstrated a long standing commitment and knowledge of the sport overall. The USBMA web site is: http://www.usbma.com/index.html
There are three categories for the BCA HOF
1. Annually Player of the Year is voted upon. This particular year Ralf Souquet was the highly deserving recipient. It was close though with one other player coming in a close second. That player is also extremely accomplished and imagine will be the front runner in the next year or two.
2. The other two categories alternate every other year: Meritorious and Veteran Player. This year Danny DeLiberto was inducted in the Veteran Category. In 2012 Meritorious will be voted on.
No disrespect to Jose, but I do not think he has the same history of tournament finishes or accomplishments in the US nationally or Worldwide such as Souquet, Strickland or Archer. However I believe he has a real shot and deserves to be recognized in the Veteran category someday.
It is not and never has been any deliberate snub, but each year many deserving players are nominated, but there is always 1-2 that have so overwhelmingly accomplished more that cannot be denied, so it becomes a race between those people.
I hope this helps people understand the process and the perspectives that have to be considered when voting on the BCA Hall of Fame.
Thanks now let this old thread go away...

It is astonishing that the best American 9 ball player of the last 30 years is not in the HOF. No one has the resume that Earl has.
I don't know how this thread got started. Earl has been a member of the BCA Hall Of Fame since 2006! Danny DiLiberto was one of the people who was overlooked until this year when he was finally inducted. Now we need to campaign for Jose Parica who also belongs there!
