Earl Strickland Challenge Matches

Challenge match

Better stuff Earl with Wheaties that morning. Sounds like he's going to have a heck of a long day playing pool. I wish it were closer to me.. I play, get back in line, play, get back in line, play.....
 
Earl will now be doing a exhibition prior to the start of the challenge matches. It will begin at 7:30 (or maybe a little earlier) and end at 8:00 when the challenge matches will begin.

The exhibition will be on a table in our non-smoking room and will not be broadcasted on the web-cam.

You're doing some great stuff over there Don. When you opened Q4 '08, in this horrible economy, and in that nice new $$$ space, I thought you were up against a big mountain.

My hats off to you!

What a super opportunity. Its cost most of us a whole lot more to play this living legend. His stroke/trick shot exhibition is amazing if a little disheartening since you know to your very core that you will never be able to do some of the things that he makes look so easy.
 
earl challenge

Well i will make this as short and painless as possible, i had the pleasure of playing earl in a tourny in athens ga[brass rail] few yr ago . the story goes im playing a guy the race is to 7 well he and i are 5-5 and his break, i say not to shark you but you know the winner shoot earl strickland dont you, reply yea i want to shoot him, but i win:thumbup::thumbup:. page 2--- i play earl WOW let me start again i rack for earl--as i think i got 2 shoots out of the race to 7, but i made him shoot wvery 9 ball. HA as i am assisting him get ball from pocket i say earl, i would give you some of these 9 ball shoots, but these people came to watch you shoot pool. he smiled and said O.K.
 
Good story

Great story about playing with Earl.Its cool he just smiled when you said everyone came to see you shoot when you explained not conceding the easy 9 ever.Very nice story thanks for sharing!
 
$20 to play Earl Strickland is STEALING! Anybody around there who doesn't get up play a match, must not really love pool! Thank you Earl, for doing this...thank you Don, for putting up the opportunity to do this in your room!:thumbup:

break and run,run, run.

The break is usually the only shot people get with Earl or any Pro,in these match ups. I broke and ran on Earl in 94-95,with a N-17 Joss. 9ft table.I have never forgotten. Remember you are to watch Earls hands(different bridges) learn while watching. I still remember Earl saying(using different bridges was the most improvement in his game> have a great day in the pool hall. Mark
 
i am real big fan of earls ( he knows this) living in glasgow in scotland, i will be watching online tonight! the only thing is the webstream has no sound and it is very out of synch... is there a better streaming elsewhere online, or will this be it? i sincerely hope so. :o
 
Unfortunately not. We are working on it, but it won't be resolved today for these matches. Sorry about that, but this is bigger than I am. Hopefully this won't be the last time we do this. We are building a plaque that says, "I Beat Earl Strickland". Everyone that wins will get thier name engraved on the plaque and the date they did it.
 
There's and outside chance that we may have this done before 8:00. However, the link will change. If that happens I'll add the link to this page as soon as it's fixed.
 
now i get ' windows explorer cannot open webpage' hmmm.... i have stayed up all evening for this too! :rolleyes:
