Celebrations on top of pool tables?
- Thread starter ChrisinNC
- Start date
i believe that was the same year he played steve davis in the quarter, and when davis missed the 5-ball on the hill earl stood up like a madman and screamed DOGGED IT! HE DOGGED IT!
Well maybe..
It's ok if Team USA wins the Cup. If Team Europe does it I don't like it. I don't throw my cues on the floor either, but it was ok for Skylar to do it.
If it was a made in America Diamond table I would not like it. I don't think I could get up on the table without a tall stool and would not look good getting down. I think Melling would beat me at getting on the table and I know Alex could probably jump it flat footed.
So as long as USA wins I don't care. I am a Patriot.

No one is going to jump up on a table at their local pool hall after snapping off a state championship.
And if you are worried about the general public, well it's a good thing none of them watch pool.
When he beat Earl in the finals! He wanted to beat him so bad. There was a mutual dislike between these two, probably still is.
P.S. I was the TD that year. They played two out of three sets in the finals as I recall.
I read about 10 posts from the first page, and my takeaway from this entire thread is that we have a bunch of petty-arsed people in pool. All those twits are always talking about pool needs this to succeed, or pool needs that, but when Matchroom Sports comes along and actually tries to promote the game, they do nothing but complain about any little thing that is even the littlest bit different than the game they grew up with, and they never once think that the game has been broke, with no money, as long as they've known it.
God fooking forbid anybody displays any kind of emotion to create some drama, to show that pool is played by something other than robots, and to try to generate some excitement amongst non-players.

Golfers chuck their putters god knows how high into the air after sinking a final putt all the time and never worry about catching it or the damage it does to the greens when they hit the ground.
Happens all the time. Not condoning it, just making a point
Appleton was the first one I actually saw do it, but I'd bet all of my Vcash that Earl beat him to it, :thumbup:

Yep. The Mosconi Cup is one of the few tournaments held in America (every other year, of course) that actually has some spectators in the stands.

Coincidentally, Kid Delicious (Danny Basavich) told me he was in a final against Earl at a Joss Northeast Tour event finale somewhere here in New England many years ago and he beat Earl who went on full tilt as he watched Danny climb his way up onto the table to celebrate.
How strong is that!!!
The table, I mean...:thumbup:

Well there was a time KD went from about 325 down to 180 or so-Didn't last long but at any rate, he was always lighter than the entire MC team, Coach and Vice Coach (worst title ever dreamed of).
Kim Davenport did a tapdance on the table after beating Buddy Hall for a PBT championship in the 1994, Owensboro Ky.
