Update on the Des Moines pool scene

A straight pool league would be great! I wonder how many people would play? There is a great system that would make it fair for everyone. It would allow the lower skilled players to have a chance at winning. It would be fun!

As to what you said about Big Shots, the guy has the right idea. What Fargo Billiards has done is make it big enough so the pool addict, the casual player, the sports nut, and the dinner crowd, can all hang out together. It's big enough for everyone. If you don't want to be around people, there are private rooms for rent as well. I'm tellin ya, it's got everything!! Des Moines could support a place like that I think.

So....JB, what spot will you give me in 9ball? I would play you 8ball, but 2 in a race to 6 just isn't enough. It wasn't enough before and it won't be enough now...:bow-down:
 
Talked to Hargens tonight, he says Jamey can't play til sometime in Jan. :mad::frown:

<edit> In other words, there is no match up til sometime in Jan. / It will be next year until we can set up a date to play. <----- for those people who can't read well.

Isn't Frost the "builder" of this team, and the original 5th man? They could just play with him......?

Thanks for the vote of confidence Bruce but if I played like Jamey Bowman...well let's just say thats a big spot. Thanks for the faith though Bruce, unfortunately that's real 8 ball...not smash the balls really hard and run out/hope for a miss 8 ball which is the kind of 8 ball i play.

I knew I liked you for a reason though Bruce, keep believing!!!

P.S. Geoff played where i was gonna play initially in case you were wondering. That turned out to save the day.

i must say mike your eight ball game has come along way you have shown me that u can play some pool
 
So....JB, what spot will you give me in 9ball? I would play you 8ball, but 2 in a race to 6 just isn't enough. It wasn't enough before and it won't be enough now...:bow-down:
I'll spot you more in 8-ball if you like. 9-ball, I'm not sure what I should give you. What do you think is fair? You want to play Thursday at 2? Let me know what works for you.
 
I'd play straight pool league if there was one. My high run is only 30, but I haven't played enough games to have that mean much.

If anyone starts one, put me down on your prospecting list.

Action

So what do we have for action the next couple of weeks?

Brad, what is the game you are offering me on 8 ball?

Sounds like JB and Bruce might be playing, if that doesn't pan out since you guys are in talks for first dibs, JB what are you wanting to give up on 8ball and 9 ball? Sounds like Bruce doesn't like 2 on the wire to 6 and he and I play pretty comparable so we might have to go 3 on the wire to 6 and hope that you don't still torch me lol.

Anyone else looking to play?

Let's treat it like an offer bidding contest...let's see what offers are out there and I will look at all proposals and references and then go with one game that I like.

<----Is hungry to get back in the box

I think the 7ball in 9ball or 3 in a race to 6 eight ball. Unfortunately I work during the day so u won't see me at the pool hall that early. It would probably have to be on the weekend sometime...

Bar Box Diamond, 9 or 8...and yes I know you have been hitting them pretty sporty recently sir. Anyone who is putting on "packs" like you have is not going to be uncommon knowledge for long! Not sure what I would need from you on each game...


You sir, have the 8 ball.
