Does Pool Have Groupies?

ScottW said:
Sigh.

He ASKED A QUESTION. He did not say "JAM is a groupie".

Did you not read his post? Or were you just in a hurry to jump on the dogpile?

Let me make this easy for you to understand, if you care to read:

(arsenius posted these two statements)

I hope I'm not totally wrong on this, and if so I apologize, but isn't JAM kind of a groupie? She doesn't play, does she?

Scott, thanks. I didn't mean that in any mean or bad way. I really didn't know she played, and thought she just liked hanging out with pool players.

Sorry JAM! I should have known better, pool players aren't that good for company.;-)

He should have known better than to make these remarks. If he did not know whom Jeannie was, he should'nt have posted at all. Comprende?

Lighten up a little huh? Folks use the word "groupie" in so many different ways, what makes you so certain it was an insult? We're not exactly all professional writers here.

Let's get back on the subject of women who throw their bodies at pool players. Wait, I guess there's no such thing as that anyways so might as well beat up on each other. :D

I am also sexually available for her, and Shanelle, and the list goes on and on and on and on and on... Guess I am a groupie (but with no luck) :p

Fatboys answer is as close to thruth as I can see in reading this thread so far. I once lived with a world champion and believe me we had groupies. Or should I say he had groupies. They were beautiful. It was the 70's and California. Even guys followed him around. It was so bad it seemed we were never alone. Half the time we had wall to wall pool players on the living room floor and couches. All I did was feed them and yell at them to get out. Probably feeding them was a mistake. They kept coming back. We had to go at least 500 miles before we were totally alone. Even then they sometimes found us. Those were the days. I have a road player and his lady on my floor right now. I'm a softie, and I can cook. It's 28 degrees outside. Whats a girl to do??? Our groupies were usually broke and useless. A few could hustle in a spot. A few were good bodygaurds. They had their moments when the enterage (sp) came in handy.:D :D

can I have your address please? when I am completely broke I will drop by to enjoy your hospitality.:D :cool: :D
 
If anyone is wondering WHY Jeannie might be a little cross with someone referring to her as a groupie, she has had this fight with some very mean spirited people on other forums.

It was out of place there, and it is out of place here. If you wouldn't call a woman a groupie to her face and risk getting your teeth knocked in if you are wrong, then you probably shouldn't say it here.

The internet makes people brave.

Oh Sure

Sure, everybody else knows so why not you. My only boundary is that you are clean and sober when you hit the door. Also that you have no outstanding wants or warrents. My heart can't take having my front door broken down at 4:30 a.m. Can't the police just knock or come at a more reasonable hour?

The first is easy. If they are dead broke they usually can't afford drugs or booze.

Sometimes they are in withdrawll but thats easy to handle. We have a special bed for that and all the candy you can eat about 3 feet from it. Once your are strong enough to get to the candy, you have 24 hours to start playing. I will steer.

I'm not a stakehorse but I will put yo in a cheap tourny and supply quarters.
Once you make enough for a tank of gas you gotta go.
 
Back when I played a lot of league I heard the usual "Rumors" of someone is banging someone. I wouldn't consider it groupie stuff but just more of "Someone wanted to bang someone". With the rumors adding some "Highschool" drama type stuff.

Of course an attractive female is going to grab a lot of attention at the world's largest sausage fest(AKA local Pool Hall). And with so many potential sueters they can eventually find someone. But I doubt it's their pool playing ability. It's probably more what they leave the pool hall in. Doesn't matter if you can run rack after rack of 1pocket. It's the guy who can't manage more than a 2ball run leaving in the Ferrari who's going to grab the fuzz.

Either way what does it matter?
 
At the US Openm last year after the finals, There was a horde of women following around Corey and Gabe who had their green jackets on. Im sure they knew them, but still, they ranged from not legal age to early 30s, had on clothes like they were going to prom and were also talking to any other guy nearby (when their glass was empty).
 
I would suggest that pool has an entirely different level of groupie beyond the young female type that is sexually available to the strong player. That is definitely a groupie but there is another group.

I would put forward that the non playing player who wants the champions attention is a groupie as well. This is comprised of people usually male who cannot run three balls chasing around the big name champions and basically fawning over them. Taking care of them and getting abused in return.

This is the group that has been dumped, staked players only to have them not show up to play a match and still give them 100 bucks gas money as the player is leaving town.

Both groups have been F***'d just in different ways and both groups have been known to come back for more.

Anyone who thinks that "pool groupies" were not plentiful in the 60's and 70's simply was not alive then. Ask Ronnie or Richie(RIP) or Billy
Incardona, or Jimmy Reid, They had to fight them off with a stick. Granted, those were the good looking dudes, but, if they weren't around at the time, the
average (plain) dudes like Grady and myself pretty much had our way with some pretty hot chicks. In our younger days, whoever won a given session, had their pick of the litter. Right Prof, ????

Hmmm...does that first paragraph then suggest that the possibility exists that a professional female player could also be considered a groupie?????

Never seen a thread on this topic.:D

Lance Mackey, dog musher, winner of both the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest, back to back, was asked if sled dog racing has groupies:

"Oh, absolutely. They fly all over and chase us around. It's pretty cool, but I also wonder sometimes, why? Why?"

And for such a solitary sport he makes a point of mingling with the fans:

"Myself, I interact, I talk and entertain, so to speak. It's important to me to get the fans to like me, because without them, we wouldn't really have a sport."

Before there can be pool groupies, pool players have to interact, talk with and entertain their fans.

Serious as a heart attack

Whitey,

I'm dead serious. I,m sure there are many pool players out there that have kicked on my couch. That is if they are still alive. I never threatened or expected them to stay clean. They just had to be clean in my house.

The point I was trying to make is that it is possible to stay straight. At least for a few days. 72 hours if we were lucky. They could go at anytime but did I mention that I'm a great cook & the sheets and towels are always clean.

The one big boundary I have in my house is no drugs or alcohol allowed. I cook with red wine but, that has probably turned. Who knows?? I don't drink it. Cooking sherry is so salty that even the junkies can't get it down. I learned the hard way when I was drinking.

Like I said everybody knows where I live within a hundred mile radius. If they don't just go to the nearest pool hall and ask.

I play for "Your Break" and someone they will deliver you. They've done it before. God bless their pea pickin hearts. The owner of the "Cue Ball" in Salem, Oregon even sent the federal marshals to my front door. That's why I moved more than 3 blocks from the pool hall. What did I have to say to the federal marshalls???? Absolutely nothing. :D :D :confused:

Are we not all just pool groupies ourselves?

AZ is just a big pool groupie hangout online.

Most of the pool groupies around here work at the pool hall.

You're right!

AZ Main Forum is the biggest bunch of pool groupies that you will ever see.

The odd thing about AZers is that besides them liking to hang out and talk pool 24/7, they actually excel at playing pool and learning how to play pool.
