George Gohagan III(GG3) rolls 899. On Film.
« on: April 08, 2007, 07:22:10 AM »
Creeped by this on youtube.  The flashy lefty who is a PBA member rolled an 899 a month or two back with a Storm T Road Pearl.  Here's footage of the last few frames.  I think the cameraman was more nervous than GG3.

Feel the excitement? LOL

No kidding about the cameraman, seemed like he was gonna drop the camera from shaking so much!  Cool video, didn't even know about his series.

Too bad we couldn't see that last two shots since the cameraman was jerking around so much.  If you're going to bother to record it, at least aim the camera at the bowler or lanes.

It's only been about 6 or 7 weeks.  If that.  Maybe a month ago.

It says Century Lanes at New Carlisle, OH 2/21/07 on the video.

I had read somewhere that this series may not be approved.  I didn't find out what circumstances there were that would have USBC need to review it, but thats why it isn't on his honor scores listings yet.

A couple of points....

A.  If I were the guy bowling, the guy holding the camera would have received a severe ass-whooping from me before I threw the last ball.  Learn to shut your damn mouth half wit.

B.  I think this guy is the reason for the "USBC Dress Code" thread a week or so ago.  

C.  Looks like a fake video to me.  I mean seriosly, if someone was throwing the 36th ball shooting for 900, I would expect more than just 2 people standing in the back watching.

Yea, it doesn't even look like a league setting. There were people still bowling 3 lanes away while this guy is up in the 9th frame going for a 900 series. Any league would have come to a stand still at that point.

Even when I see people shooting for just a single 300, there are 20 people hovering around the back of the pit.  If a 900 were about to be shot, I would expect half the league, plus house management to be clamoring for a good view.  I stand by my "It's a fake" viewpoint.

I think Brunsnick's 900 video looks alot more realistic.

What if they were the last team to finish?  I recall the original story claiming that he was asked to sub on this night and that's when it happened.

It was legit.  They were bowling a make up match after the regular league session was over.  The continuing word is that it probably won't be approved because he was bowling unopposed.

I can understand the camera work.. people tend to do things like that when excited.

The "OMG look at me, I am screaming like a spastic schoolgirl on a sugar rush" loud mouth... now that is another story.

They must have some really tough lane conditions in Dayton. Fero Willams set a record for 800's in a season (19) bowling at some of the same houses as George. I don't know if they bowl in the same league but they are listed in some of the same leagues under their league info. I bet no one would get in jackpot with those 2 bowling.

If I read it right...he has 15 800's since January 2nd!  I had a chance to watch Fero bowl at the PTQ in Hammond this year...as well as a sweeper later that nite in my own house...the guy has a great and powerful game...but WOW!!!...wonder what kind of average he's carrying this year
