Antonio Medina and Brian Valenta. I also know Mike Wolfe, but I wouldn't call us friends. He isn't a fan of me.

gg on the 300.

Brian did pretty well . I found the scoring pace pretty high but that is what you get when you mix 8 game shootouts with friction.

Its on extra frame which is a pay service. They have every round to watch which is good since it won't even be live on ESPN. Its kind of expensive but you can try it for a day for like 3 bucks I think. Every round is archived there as well so you can watch any you missed. Worth the money if you are a big bowling fan but I don't think it does much to help the sport when only big fans get to see it.

although there was some funny stupid drama between Belmo and Rash about not righting the others score down and him only picking up water bottle when Rash was on approach and they Barnes went off on Rash because he was bitching at Belmo really loud while Barnes was in middle of back swing.

yeah it is cool and all but there are better things spend your money on but if you don't care about the money I say check it out. They have a ton of archived tourneys and not just the ones that were on t.v. they have a couple years worth of the us open match play along with a ton of other ****.

On a side not its finally almost the 11th. Need to go in tomorrow or sat and get the nexus solid, and I will probably just end up getting the pearl one as well.

Sic - I had the pleasure of watching him bowl against my team in college. Trust me, steroids. From year to year his arms and chest just grew at unfathomable rates.

So I'm in charge of one of the lanes and one of the kids scores something like an 11 for the first game. He was obv. not happy. I felt bad, so for the second game I put up the bumpers. It made him extremely happy to be knocking down pins every roll. Half way through the game the parents/coaches noticed and gave me a good lecture and relieved me of my duties.

I'm not a very PC guy. Bottom line is they're ******ed and doing well makes them happy. So why turn it into a massive competition that the competitors have little self-awareness over and instead let them enjoy the game. It was almost a "who's the least ******ed person" competition as they did the best. There was no chance the kids on my lane were going to come close to winning. They still weren't going to break 100 and some of the less challenged participants were scoring close to 200, if not higher.
That's one of the things that I hate about the special olympics, as it basically comes down to exactly that - who is the least ******ed, but still technically ******ed. Either that, or whose handicap hurts them the least in the given activity.

yeah his was a bit farther but how many times did they film it? Jason was playing that line for like 3 or 4 games straight on the shark pattern. That is why I thought it was better.

finally got the nexus and nexus pearl drilled up. Got the drilled up the same way with pin over pap 4in from pin and the MB located 3/4 of the way between my thumb hole and VAL. I was amazed how well they work in tandem. I suggest getting both. The solid opens up the lane a ton and if there are a few people playing the same line then you end up moving left almost every shot. As soon as you start getting an over under reaction then you switch balls and are able to play almost the same line as you were playing. The solid gets through the heads really well and is best used by leaving the end of the pattern and not using the dry on the outside. The pearl makes a sharp turn on the outside dry which lets you create a lot of angle
