Guys, my point to this post was why are we celebrating this guys performance over any others. I guess it is because of the 2 300's if you read some of the posts further down. It was not to hate on bowling or the nice man who shot the games. I just didn't understand how it was fair how he got in over any other people, but i guess no one else agrees with me.

People wonder why there is a lack of interest in league bowling and tournament bowling. It's because people who happen to have achieved anything (no matter how worthless in your eyes) get crapped on instead of being congratulated.
Just thought this needed repeating.

I second your opinions on that statement.. I am so tired of reading on this forum about all the 300's and 800's shot by some of our members and how easy the lanes of today are. Its obvious they could care less about bowling anymore so if the game is so easy to them, why not just quit and let the rest of us enjoy the game..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)

Why are you making fun of West Virginia ( Hicksville) this state is no diferent than any other state with the house shots being easy !!!!
You want to make fun of bowlers from WV, do you happen to remember a guy from WV by the name of Sam Flanagan !!!

Honestly, if you don't have anything good to say then shut the **** up.
I say congrats to ScottyJ for doing it regardless of what the haters say.
@IMaBaggerNow
Dude, I'm sure you are a good bowler but don't rain on someone else's accomplishment just because you have thrown as many honor scores as you have.

300-300-258----858
34 out of 36 possible strikes---and yes he made SI's Faces In The Crowd, as well he should for such a worthy feat,and especially for someone so young.
P.S.---The two "misses" I'm not sure of but obviously he spared on those shots.
Congratulate these people for doing something quite amazing. Don't rain on their parade.

Listen, I guess this post didn't go the way I wanted it to, and I feel i was mistaken in posting my feelings now. I thought about deleting it, but have decided I won't.

Don't let the bitterness of a few ruin your day.
Hell, I'd be happy to have just one ring. I'd be so
thrilled I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate long enough
to throw a 75 the next game. lol
The closest I have ever came to a perfect 12, was
4, then a damn 7 2 5th, and finishing out for a 265.
What killed it? A sneeze during my release.
Some day I'll get it. I just have to keep up the practice.
Congrats on a great series, and for hittin back to back.
Listen, i am not bitter AT ALL that it happened for this guy and not me. I guess no one else agrees with me though that other performances deserved to be in sports illustrated more than this. I just think there are other performances out there more spectacular that should be put in sports illustrated if this was put in there. How about the fact that there have been 9 900's (or something like that) and I don't recall any of them being in sports illustrated??? Maybe i am mistaken on that one, but i'm pretty sure its true.

)P.S. He had to switch lanes for those 300's and the 780 in the tourney. Makes it even better.

I think what the OP was trying to say was that it's not the greatest thing in bowling. I don't think I recall seeing anything about the 900's shot in 'faces in the crowd'.
I was talking to a friend a couple of weeks ago and asked him how his bowling was doing. He said he was throwing the ball pretty good but was still having some problems with his game on tough shots but on easy house shots he's been able to get away with murder. He went on to tell me that he shot 888 in league the night before. He lest a 4 pin on the 11th ball, missed it for 288 then shot 300-300( It wasn't even a State record) He didn't brag about it nor was there anything in the paper about it, much less, have someone e-mail SI and tell them about it.
I'm not a big fan of Bagger, but some of the things he says I agree with. With the equipment and easy scoring conditions of today, back to back 300 are not as eye opening as it was years ago. I've seen a ton of 300, 279 games and a few 300,300's. I've even had two in one day on different pairs.
Great shooting again, and you should be very proud of yourself I wish you many more.

Thank you hose for being one person to agree with me and clear up my point a little bit (sorry, i think imabagger is a spammer and shouldnt be counted as a person). I think hose pretty much summed up the whole point of my post.
