Everyone talking about Earl, and Donnie is doing a bang up Job on the right side... I like underdogs, but I like rooting for a guy with a job even more!
Donnie Mills

- Start date
ok, ok...
i guess it's time to be a bad guy AGAIN!?? lol.
i sold cars for several years, i gotta tell ya.......i would have had ALOT MORE time to play pool, if i had OWNED the carlot, as opposed to WORKING there every day. and unless im quite mistaken...Mr.Mills OWNS a carlot. this "working-man" stuff is just SO old. to make sales, i showed up every morning, early, to get the first ups on the lot...and i was the last to leave every night, in case there were stragglers walkin around kickin tires....and never once, was the owner around. he did go to auctions to get used stock, but other than that, he was only stopping in occassionally to make sure he looked like he was checking up on things. lol.
Mr.Mills is a great player, and players don't get that good without alot of play and practice.......alot more than we are led to believe by the "workin' man worshippers". think about it, i mean really.
geeez.

Howd that turn out?
earl is on the left side now, I think Donnie just started his match, My back started to hurt too much so I left, Its a great tournment but not many people from the west coast this year.
Thats because the best players arent on the West Coast...
Stirring the pot, somewhere in the Midwest, where the best players are.....:wink:
Ken
I'm sure he had to do some "work" to initiate a business that would provide him w/ the funds to play in big tournaments and match up for large dollar values. Also, you don't necessarily know the size of his operation. It could be a small, used carlot w/ 3 people. I knew a guy in FL who had one like that and actually did very well and it was him and two salesmen....which required quite a few hours from him daily, needless to say. Now, for a HUGE car operation - of course you probably won't see the owner as much.
hehe...
thats funny, cause i heard it was inherited. lol.
im not trying to just knock the guy, he is a great player. (not gonna beat SVB for the cheese though, prolly cause they wont play lol) but this crap is getting old.
im gonna go find someone that wiped their own ass today...and give them a cookie.
lol

I think it was with Roberto Gomez, not Lee Van.
Donnie Mills playing for the point against the Kaiser tomorrow!!!
Fred <~~~ way to go Donnie!!!
I hate to say it and I wish Donnie all of the luck in the world tomorrow, but I gotta root for Souquet.
Ralf epitomizes everything I want to emulate in my own game from his textbook, robotic mechanics to his outstanding demeanor, win or lose.
This is a tough one for me, but I gotta go with Ralf on this one.
But I always love to see the underdog win too...lol. Like I said this is a tough one for me.
I gotta root for Donnie.
Chances are, in his mind he has been playing this well for a good while. Accordingly, this should be the end of his asking for weight. Clearly, "working for a living" is not a handicap.
Good Luck Mr. Mills.

Ive heard SVB says he can't beat Donny for the cash.Not sure if this was on a barbox or what but I swear I heard that somewhere.Maybe a TAR match?
Go Donny
I'll try to remember and spell it correctly, as I root for one of our AZ posters. And yea, I think if you win the Open title, you can't ask for weight from anyone, you just have to learn to say No, to anyone you don't feel like you can beat even.
GO DONNY GO. SNAP IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Lone American stands in the Final Four.
GO, DONNIE, GO!
Man, it would be so cool to see him snap this off!

Yikes. Is it "Donny" and not "Donnie"?
Well, one thing for sure, if he snaps this baby off, we'll all remember how to spell his name! :grin-square:
