Thinking Justin and I would be up for it. I can't 100% commit.
I'm in, longer the race, better the pace. Open, master, B, pro, whatever!
I wasn't there but from reading this I don't understand what everyone is *****ing about. If it's close, get a ref and after the shot the ref makes the decision and the players live with it. That's what the refs are for.
I don't know Mike personally but how is his honesty or integrity in question if he had a 3rd party (ref) make the decision if it is a foul or not on a close shot?
Some of those slow motion videos from Dr. Dave show that you can foul and not even know it unless you have the high speed camera. Technically a miscue is a foul in his videos because the cue ball gets struck twice. Just because you are a Masters player or there were 2,000 other Masters players watching the shot doesn't mean any of them are correct. That's why the referee makes the decision to the best of their ability. End of story.
My wife in a lincoln tournament once had a ref watch a hit for her. After the shot (which was clearly good) he said foul and picked the cue ball up and handed it to my wifes opponent. My wife asked how it was a foul. He said the stripe moved first. she said "SIR, I AM STRIPES." He looked back at the table and said, oh i meant the solid moved first, and walked off.
Of course her opponent ran out and acted like the ref had done the right thing. Thankfully my wifes team won still.

Did you go back a few pages where Mike admitted it wasn't a foul? His integrity is in question because he would do anything to win! Why wouldn't you do what's right in that case? If it wasn't a foul, then over rule the blind ref!!
Who is Complex13 and for that matter who is Hijeep????
As I posted in the "you make the call..." thread:
Calling Mike's character into question over this is total BS. I wasn't there, but that doesn't matter. The bottom line is that refs in all sports make calls like this every day. Regardless of the sport you are talking about some are good calls, some are bad calls and some could literally go either way. Do you ever see a player or coach in the NFL/NBA/MLB decline a favorable call because they think the ref/ump made a bad call? Of course you don't, because the calls tend to even out over time. The bottom line for me, is if you don't want the ref to potentially make a bad call against you, then don't put yourself in a position for the ref to have to make a call at all. If you have ball in hand, why would you even chance it if it was that close?
That's funny, I just responded to you on that thread
What page and post was that???
@Mike B....Post 4600 on page 307 is what they are talking about.
Totally unrelated but in two days I have seen two Olneys for sale, 1 for $400 and 1 for $600...is that his typical pricing? I think his cues play pretty good and can't see them costing under $1200...anyone ever buy straight from him? Do you get a ton of cue for the money?
yes, yes, yes.............
I would just like to point out that Mike Athens hasn't responded to the post I put up for Jamie. He can sit here and call out Jason Richardson, but can't even respond to Jamie? The least he could do is get on here and say he is scared to play Jamie!!

I talked to Mike and the short version he wants me to say is "he's scared and can't win." In all actuality it just means he isn't interested in playing at all.
I'll reply for him. He is scared.
Haha, i saw a buddy post on Facebook about some drama at the Iowa state tournament, so I jumped on here and just read the last 10 pages or so. Damn i'm glad I dont live in Iowa, don't you guys have like an ungodly number of strip clubs there? Go make it rain and grab some drinks fellas. And i'll paypal $50 to the first guy who pimp slaps Mikey Frost, lol. Sorry Mikey, had to say it.

We do have clubs with dancers and they dance for money, sometimes money of mine sometimes money of yours, it's all good when you dealing with whores...it's all good when you dealing with whores!
