hmm, interesting. some of them are hot. but what i want to know is how in the he11 can ESPN show womens COLLEGE bowling, but refuse to show the PWBA? i really hate ESPN.

One last time...ESPN did not refuse to air the women's tour...they wanted a lot more money from Steve Sanders for the privilege of time than they got from Rockford. Big difference between charging a lot and refusing to do something...

Post by: JOE FALCO on April 11, 2004, 04:14:08 PM: HARDESTY .. a little harsh .. however I do agree with you! If you were to ask me what the YOUNG LADIES looked like .. I wouldn't be able to tell you .. guess I was looking to see how good they bowled! Don't remember anyone ever talking about how some of the PROS looked .. only how they bowled .. I think the girls did good under those bowling conditions. Bowling three times in one game has to be difficult to find a good line .. I enjoyed it .. hope they show more of the same!

LMAO

Haredsty, sorry to say this and no offense intended, but some were fat and some were not. No one said they weren't nice and no one said they weren't good bowlers. I'm sure they are nice and it is apparant they are good bowlers, yet some were fat.

Post by: JOE FALCO on April 11, 2004, 07:12:02 PM: Someone mentioned that one of the girls was featured in a bowling magazine last month (or perhaps the month before). I recall reading that story .. gal had accomplished quite a bit .. I'd like to see more of this type TV .. think it's great! Did you see how excited the winners were .. great spirit. Felt sorry for the losers .. but they'll be back again! Glad someone pointed out that the show was on .. wouldn't have liked it If I MISSED IT!

Post by: DP3 on April 11, 2004, 07:20:53 PM: The school I goto(Maryland Eastern Shore) had our women's team there. I was told the shot was your typical house shot, except the finals were bowled on the breakdown of the house shot(tape delay) so the backends weren't as strong as they were when they started. That's why all the washouts at first, combined with the added pressure of bowling on TV.

Post by: WSUstroker on April 11, 2004, 07:55:03 PM: I used to bowl with Amanda Burgoyne in the Minnesota JBTs. www.mjbt.org You can see that she can throw the ball better than most posters on this site. As a 2-time Team USA member, I think she can hold her own. People take the cheaps shots, but I think her being on national tv bowling for a national championship team as a freshman says enough about how she bowls.

Post by: Berreez on April 11, 2004, 09:20:31 PM: The coach for the Missouri team is named Ron Holmes. He bowls in our Thursday night menâ€™s league in Sedalia (MO). Two weeks ago he threw an 814 / 300 against my team. One of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Best lefty in the area. He averages 225 or so.

I could be wrong but I thought I overheard him say that they bowl on sport conditions.

I wish CMSU would have won since they are only 30 miles away from me, but no matter, it was still cool knowing someone on TV!

Post by: DP3 on April 12, 2004, 01:05:21 PM: Berreez, they said they bowled on Sport Conditions for the season. I know for a FACT, that that tournament and TV show was on a house shot. MY girls team and coaches were reporting to me the three days that the tournament was going on.

Post by: bamaster on April 12, 2004, 02:21:36 PM: I didn't see the show, but when I bowled at Texas A&M University most (not some, not half, but most) of the talented female bowlers were heavy. Of course I am assuming they were actually heavy since I didn't get a chance to pick them up.

And hey, if the Dave Traber can take a beating for being horizontally enhanced on television then the ladies should too.

Post by: SUKIE on April 12, 2004, 03:00:55 PM: The reason the shot was so weird is that there was a power outage at the time due to a severe thunderstorm going thru the Houston area. The back up generator could only power so much. It got unbearable humid & hot on the lanes with the lites & all for the last 30 to 45 minutes. As the reason for all the girls throwing the same shot, it's in the training. Notice how all the Nebraska girls have the same pre shot approach. So do most of the Missouri gals for that fact. One can only hope this will reinspire the PWBA in some fashion, now that it is a NCAA sport. As far as the Husker gal's Shannon & Jamie, both are class acts. My son has bowled with a knows them both. Both are the type of girls you be proud as a parent to have as your daughter.

Post by: Berreez on April 12, 2004, 04:03:48 PM: I personally liked all of the emotion. It showed just how important the â€œgameâ€ was to them. How about the CMSU lady with tears streaming down both her eyes but she still had to finish the frame?

I wished the PWBA had showed half of the emotion these young ladies did. Hope to see the men's next.

Post by: northface28 on April 12, 2004, 04:17:44 PM: I hate to be rude and/or cynical but that show yesterday was terrible. I would rather make gravy than watch that awful display of bowling. Missed spares, topping of the ball, extremely fast feet, bad timing, you name it, everything not to do in bowling was shown yesterday. Looking at some of those averages for the week (220+) they had to be on a house shot. Side note, Pluhowsky and Gazverde are great players. As for Amanda Burgoyne I think she has regressed. I saw her a few years ago in Rockford and she was the best bowler I had ever seen in person male or female. Now she spins the you know what out of the ball. Not very impressive anymore. What was up the exaggerated push away for the Nebraska girls? Yet another reason why women's bowling wont generate much on tv it is simply painful to watch.

Post by: northface28 on April 12, 2004, 05:01:01 PM: For those that give a hoot about college bowling (I Do) the teams yesterday are not a true measure of the young women bowlers out there. How these teams competed yesterday is beyond me. Wichita State, Lindenwood, Kansas, and Western Illinois have legitimate womens programs and will be bowling in Tulsa,OK this week. Hopefully ESPN or ESPN2 will show the IBC's on tv to make up for what some of us had to witness yesterday. The FCC blows the whistle on Howard Stern, yet allows this mockery of the sport on national tv.

Post by: JOE FALCO on April 12, 2004, 05:37:59 PM: This is a FORUM and everyone is entitled to voice their opinion! To say the show was TERRIBLE isn't fair .. these were college kids.. some FRESHMAN .. I would image that they bowled fairly well to get the TV shot .. I wasn't expecting PROS .. it was an UNUSUAL format .. I now see it's popular in YOUTH matches ..

I THINK it's tough to bowl three frames in a game .. sort of reminds me of the PROS when there is a 2 frame roll off. Again everyone is entitled to an opinion .. I'm glad I saw it .. and I HOPE they show more of it! I certainly wouldnâ€™t want it to REPLACE the PRO'S on TV .. but . I DID enjoy it!

Rags, be careful what you say about these girls. Especially mentioning the word fat. King is liable to get on your "arse". For whatever reason the word "Fat" bothers him.

That bimbo is a good friend of mine. She told me she was really embarrassed now after looking at it. But when you are winning a national title, your emotions take over, and dont really care what you are doing at the time. Anyways, how about next time you dont use the word bimbo?
