2006-2007 Predictions
« on: July 03, 2006, 02:04:41 AM »
I figured we could all have a little fun and make some predictions for the upcoming season of the PBA tour.  Any predictions at all should be interesting, mine are as follows:

- Kelly Kulick will make a tv show but not win yet (she will gain exemption for the next season though)
- Sean Rash will win at least 1 title
- Parker Bohn III will come out of his slump and make more TV shows
- Mike DeVaney will win a title this year
- Brad Angelo will win his first title this year
- TJ will have a good season again but will definitely be slowing down (although I predict a win at the Japan Cup again)
- Walter Ray will beat Earl's record
- Chris Loschetter will win his first title

Please post more, I love PBA buzz...

Ok I'm gonna add some to my first post since everybody is putting alot of info on here ok here goes

USBS Masters- An Amateur will win this title
US Open- Patrick Allen defeats Tommy Jones for the title
World Championships- Parker Bohn Wins
TOC- Tommy Jones wins this one while throwing 300 in 1 of the 2 games

Other Predictions

1. There will be 2 300's this year on TV
2. Kelly Kulick will not make a show but will get exempt on points
3. Mark Scroggins will finish much higher than his twin on the points list
4. Jeff Carter will have 3 TV shows and atleast 1 title
5. Chris Loschetter and Cicone will win their first title
6. Robert Smith wins 2 titles
7. PDW gets 1 title early in the year
8. Norm Duke makes less shows but wins more win he does I think 2 titles
9. Tommy Jones gets 2 but the Major puts him over the top for POY
10. Rash makes 2 shows but no titles
11. The only player to make it to a TV show from the regionals will be Jeff Carter
12. Brian Voss gets his 1 title again to keep streak intact
13. WRW gets 1 title early in the season while oddly enough playing out on Shark pattern.
14. and finally the 7-10 will be picked up on TV by somebody. I mean come on everytime they leave it they have to mention who was the last to do it so somebody will make it and Dave Ryan will go freakin nuts.

no more randy pedersen.  sadness.  i like him.


Where'd you hear that?  I know Randy said he would give up the PTQs and Tour Trials, it was too exhausting mentally and physically trying to compete like that.  He was taking a position with Storm instead.  My guess (and I'm probably wrong) is that he may be a tour rep, helping the exempt staffers and free agents with equipment.  As far as I know, he's still doing the telecast.

One obvious thing no one mentioned is that Brian Himmler will win on the Shark pattern at one point in the season.  It never fails.

DP3,

I love the Chief didn't put him in this year, kinda like Couch he's pretty much good for one title a year.

 Kullick will have to much pressure from the big tour and media plus her game unless oil is thick will get blown up in transition. Tweeners have it pretty tough with all the revvers on tour. I know she likes to swing the inside the best but the transition from the handers can be brutal on carry. Liz made the show because she has got great twig game on the right edge. Niche vs commidity, would like to see Kelly make it as she is extra nice and a great competitor but don't believe it will be so.

Oddly enough, you're right.  I don't think we heard anything at all from him last year, but he randomly wins a title.  Shark, which of the former patterns is that?  I still can't remember these animal names, the only one I know is Cheetah = E.

I thought that streak ended a few years back?? In fact, I'm almost certain it did.. I do second your nod to Buddies Pro Shop though!!

I think he's referring to 24-years, 24-titles, not just a title every season.  His 12-year winning streak ended in '98, I think.
