Vivian Villareal

Vivian is still kicking hard but I dont think that she has had any major wins yet this year. She is being sponcered by the Seminol Indian Tribe these days ( not sure that I speeled it correct?) who I think will be a big help to the billiard industry.cuewhiz189 said:
Vivian is a great crowd pleaser...I saw her play in Tunica earlier this spring and although she didn't make the TV matches, she played very well. And yes, I hear she has recently acquired one of the better sponserships in the WPBA from the Seminole Tribe. Her personality is one of a kind! Mike
Hi Juston,
I saw her this morning on ESPN playing Allison. She lost to Allison but went hill/hill with her. Vivian is a real "feel" player. When she's on, she's tough to beat but when she's not, she makes a lot of mistakes. Allison doesn't make many mistakes whether she's on or not. Allison might miss a ball but she doesn't usually make any dumb moves. I'm not saying that Vivian makes dumb mistakes it's just that she's such a strong offensive player that she has a tendency to go for the shot when she should play safe. You gotta like her for that because win or lose, she makes the game exciting.

Well I think that may depend on the crowd doing the watching. I'd much rather watch Allison any day. Vivian's chatter bothers me a little, but her incessant whistling drives me up a tree. She's a good player though, and not bad to watch when ESPN doesn't put a mic on her.
