I'm not disappointed at Earl being picked. I just hope he doesnt go into self destruct mode. No... I wont bet against that one.

Don't like that one as you can't really know how many singles matches each person will play.
Well except for Shane none of the USA players are even favored to win a single match. So your bet was too strong. Mine is quite fair, if I do say so;). Regardless of the batting order.

I was just thinking, if Earl plays every MR event next year, I think he'd actually be second on the points list behind Shane. Mike and Justin are not active. Corey is not performing and also seems not that active. And Earl would probably still flat out beat Billy, Oscar, and Sky.

I like Earl always did he might surprise everyone
I don’t care if Earl had to arrive in a wheelchair if you want eyes on the screen you’ve got to Earl there.
Love him or hate him, no other player in the history of pool with the exception of Willie Mosconi has generated so much excitement and controversy as Earl Strickland. I say let him play and I’ll be pulling for him! Give em’ hell Earl!!!

I just got home from the Brasstap and the feelings there are love for Earl and he is going to explode..
About 50 - 50!!

Everyone had an opinion. That tells you something right there!

Earl's last time at the cup, was in 2013.

The venues have still sold out or at least been near capacity every year since (excluding 2020/2021 due to COVID).

He might be a draw, but he's not a necessary one.

I'm happy for Earl he will do well and will kick butt and take names .

Granted I may not know him well but the short time I spent talking to him I felt he was a good guy yes he may be a bit excitable or can be high strung so be it .
I feel his abilities at the table out rank his temper when and if it does flare up .

I agree……IF he could keep it together mentally. And that’s a mighty big if.

Earl is more of a team leader than Shane.
Earl's interviews on youtube are exemplary of the type of motivation he can inspire.

SVB is a pro player with a great winning record. Earl is that too and he knows how be a transformational speaker.

Mike Sigel for Mosconi next year.
