Women at this year's U.S. Open...surprised.

Sherm, did you know that Jeannie had many runs over a 100 balls and a high run of 152! She beat a lot of top Straight Pool players in 14.1 events. I think she played as well as she needed to win against the other women. If she had to pick her game up a notch she could and did. In the few open events she played in she defeated guys named Mizerak, Hall, McCready, Lebron and David Howard. This is when these guys were at the top of their game!

I watched Jeannie play quite a bit and she was the real deal, the equal of the top women players today imo. She wouldn't be able to dominate women's pool like she did in the 80's, but at her best she would still be capable of winning a tournament. She had a big game, a big stroke and most importantly a lot of heart. Jeannie was a winner! She didn't get weak under pressure, she got better!

Well, Jay & Johnnie, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. IMHO, Jeannie was a great player, especially for her time. And she was a hell of a shot maker. I saw her beat The Miz at the infamous Toledo tournament at the

"Tamoshanter Center", but that tournament was a disaster. Whoever scouted the location did so in the winter time for a summer tourney. There was no air conditioning in the building (which no one noticed until tourney time) and

it was over 100 degrees in the building. The Miz never had a chance in his condition compared to a young, fit athlete like Jeannie. Funny thing was it didn't bother "Swannie"! He shot a perfect 1000 Accu-Stats match at the

same tourney. Guess he was more used to the hot weather. I know that on my best day, I could not have beat Jeannie and I had a high run of 122 at straight pool, but IMHO Jeannie just didn't play the position and angles nearly

as well as Allison and some of the top ladies today. She'd beat most of them but, but not the top echelon. Again, JMHO !

I don't know if a man or woman ran the us open 9-ball for the past 35 years. I'm not man bashing, I'm principal bashing.

They don't have to apologies to me but it maybe nice to apologies to the ladies that were not allowed to play in the US open for the past 35 years.

Well congratulations. You have managed to totally bore me with the same tired argument over and over.

I have grown totally weary of this with you. I'm done.
 
Raj Hundal suggested that he was in favor of women playing in the US Open and fully supported it.

Just the same, he just wished the men could play in the women's tournaments.

Let's truly break down the barriers in gender equality.

She was not the best pool player then because she didn't win. I'm sure she didn't get knocked out 2 straight in those events either. There are many more men that have competed through out the years that have never won these events either. I'm done with this thread. I dont think there is anything else for me to say. Thanks for the discussion everyone.

Nobody can ever stay away when they say they are... the lure of the AZ boards!
