Title: Exemption - Who dont you want to make it?
Post by: matt smith on March 15, 2004, 07:51:12 AM: Bryon Smith. I cant stand to watch him on tv, he annoys me, the way he bowls annoys me, the way he acts annoys me, everything about him annoys me. I hope he misses out and someone like tim mack or randy pederson gets in.

Opinions?

good luck and high scoring

He is a stereo typical bowler, or the image we have tried to get rid of. Have not met him yet, so he may be great to bowl with. If we want to be considered athletes, at least for now, we need to field what the marketing guru's think athleted look like. RIght or wrong.

Post by: Los300 on March 16, 2004, 09:30:29 AM: Well, you guys better get used to Shafer and Monacelli because they are both exempt for next season. If I was to pick a guy that I would not want to make the cut to next season it would be Traber because his attitude when he's on TV sucks.

Post by: HamPster on March 16, 2004, 10:49:34 AM: As long as Eugene McCune doesn't make it, I'll be happy. Traber's fun to watch though, lmao. Mr. Jelly Donut. He needs to wear a bra next time he makes the show . .

Post by: GendouIkari on March 16, 2004, 10:57:11 AM: I don't like Bryon Smith and Traber... Traber... He is just TRABER

HEY!!! More respect to Amletto... When he comes back to our country he plays with us for fun and he's very friendly and he always helps on our game...

Post by: Pinbuster on March 16, 2004, 11:32:09 AM: I want the bowlers who are short of talent for the tour to fail to make the top 50. There are a lot of them who have hung on for years rather than get on with their lives.

Say what you want. Traber has game. He has won before and could again.
Title: Re: Exemption - Who dont you want to make it?
Post by: hotwire13 on March 16, 2004, 02:05:15 PM: traber is terrible. i want to see the younger players with talent make it and start a career on the tour, rather than have a guy like traber come on and look awkward and throw a straight line to the pocket. he is not what the sport needs to represent it. the week he made the show i almost decided not to watch. i hope randy and del ballard get in and traber comes in 50th and misses. and if he does somehow make it, hes going to lose every match anyway.

Post by: Scolai on March 16, 2004, 06:16:20 PM: First, for the yo-yo's who said they didn't want Shafer and Scroggins to make it: in case you failed to notice they are exempt through winning titles this year. It's not rocket science. They will be in the exempt field next year whether or not your feeble personae want them to be.

I have to put my vote with the masses, though. Dave "Waddles" Traber really does not need another opportunity to embarrass bowling by making another TV show next year. Then again, the US Open and Masters are open field events, so I suppose he could sneak back into our TV sets sooner rather than later. Let's hope he takes some of the comments here to heart and buys (and uses) a treadmill.

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling is a very good sport as well.

Eugene "My Week" McCune
Jason Hurd
Ricky Ward

After 2/3 of the initial 18 qualifying games, the following guys are in a heap 'a trouble:

Chris Hayden
Dave Traber
Ritchie Allen
Ricky Ward
Steve Hoskins
Jeff Lizzi
Ronnie Russell
Brian Kretzer
Eugene McCune

Without a miraculous 6 game series tomorrow, they'll all probably be at the Tour Trials.

Post by: HamPster on March 17, 2004, 12:04:41 AM: Haha, I'm with Hose, not a big Parker fan. He was good in his day, but now that he can't play a breakpoint of 5 every week, he's not doing so hot.

Post by: RandyO on March 17, 2004, 12:42:52 AM: Traber's only a few sticks short of the 80 cut, and only 100 back of the 32 cut. With 12 games to go to the 32 cut, there's lots of room. You may not like the way he looks or the way he bowls, but he is GOOD at what he does, and he is a multi-titleist on the tour. Those of you counting him out for the exempt field are writing him off WAY too soon. With his back against the wall he is TOUGH. Bowling isn't about looking pretty - it's about knocking the pins down. That's it - nothing more. You don't like the way he looks - close your eyes. Give me a break with the "Image" crapola. Bowling has always been and will always be the "blue collar" sport. You want "pretty boys" - turn the channel and watch a polo match - or "Queer Eye". Last time I looked there was some pretty effective "plus size" athletes in the NFL, the PGA, track & field, Baseball, the list goes on. Anyway, most of us will never be as good as Traber. We're not qualified to carry his bra strap - OOPS - I meant jock strap.
I'll take a repeat of the Traber vs. Duke match any day of the week.

You and me both! That was an awesome match!

Trabes doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I'd rather watch Traber than Jaros. I've never seen a professional athlete prance around the way Jaros does, looks like a little girl with too much body hair, sorta like Jeffrevs.

Just the "too much hair" part Jeff, not the "little girl" part.
