Below are some pictures from Bankshot Billiards in Jacksonville taken tonight before and during the players meeting.
Earl Story:
I was walking with Shane in the parking lot of Bankshot Billiards headed inside for the players meeting, when we hear " 7 to nothing huh?" (for those under a rock Shane lost 7-0 to Dennis Orculluo in the finals of the BCA last Saturday) we look over and there is The Pearl in all his glory. Shane just laughs and shakes head. Earl says "You got your first taste of humiliation. I have tasted a lot of it recently" he then added "Race to 7 alternate break if the corner ball is going for the other guy that can happen" He was actually pretty cool.
As we walked out Earl was standing outside talking to a group of guys and as we passed I heard him say "....we should play pool without side pockets...."
Earl plays Anna Kostanian in the moring at 9:30. You can bet I will sweat that.
There is a more in depth report here : http://japrophoto.photium.com/news3250.html and more pictures in the gallery.
Here are the pics.
Anna Kostanian before the players meeting.
Landon Shuffett executing a nice jump shot. Landon is great kid and is good represenative for the sport.
Allen Hopkins knocking them around. I thought about asking him when he and Grady were gonna have their cage match but thought better of it.
John Morra and Shane posing for a reporter from alocal newspaper.
If you see this bunch in your local room, ask them to bet high, they are soft action.
