Today, I saw my friend who related his experience regarding Earl taking down his cue and walking off. What I posted was exactly what was related to me.
I was not there, so could only relate what was told to me. Apparently it raised the ire of some AZ'ers who asked me to set the record straight. From the postings of several who were there, and also witnessed the event, and posted their account, the record has now been set straight. Nothing more to add, except my friend did acknowledge today that he thought it was the exhibition and not a "warm up", hence, why he left!
For the record, I am also a huge fan of Earl Strickland, and would never intentionally bash him.
