I attended the university of Dayton and I remember walking into the campus pool room. It had a pool room\bowling alley in one of the buildings..i remember walking up and asking for a table..the billiard team was practicing and only two tables were available..well i grabed one and proceded to shoot some nine ball...well back then i was dead on..i played every day for hours on end..well a couple of the players saw me shoot and commented on how well i shot..i told them that im my home town i was in the top 5 shooters there. Well..the coach of the team started watching me..he asked how long i shot and what my major was..i told him computer science was my major and that i was living over on what is called the "Dark Side" those who know about UD will know what im talking about..well he throws the captain of the team on me..who i just wax..with no problem..i start putting my sneaky pete up..and the coach ask me would i like to playon the team..i told him that computer science classes had me swamped and i didnt think i had the time nor the money to invest in pool..he then offered me a scholorship..not much of anything..but perhaps enough to cover a two books for two classes..i actually took him up on it..but i ended up catching Gullien Bare Syndrome 5 days later and was in the hospital for 2 1/2 months but that is my pool scholorship story..i hold dear to my heart
