Sean Rash will win atleast 2 titles, and one could be a major!?!?!
I also think WRW will break Earl's record, and he'll get more than one victory.
Norm Duke will display a great year and win bowler of the year!! He will have the most titles with atleast 3, possibly 4.
Post by: Leftyhi-trak on July 03, 2006, 10:32:19 AM
TJ will win 2 more titles. Be second or third in POY race.
Duke to win 2 titles, one being a major. I believe this will be his POY.
Machuga,Couch,Barnes and Devaney each one title.
WRW - 3 shows, one major win.
Sleepers:
Mike Wolfe will continue to progress and make 1-2 shows
Scroggs - one show possibly two, no titles
Mallot & PA - some shows maybe PA 1 title
Super Sleepers: (finger crosser + stars in alignment)
Brian LeClair or Jeff Carter to make championship appearance but lose.
Post by: ImmaculateL on July 03, 2006, 10:35:46 AM

2) Someone stole my idea about Dave Traber making a show from the PTQ.
3) Mark Scroggins finishes higher than his brother in the final points, but Mike wins a title again.
4) At least one and possibly two stops will be won from the PTQs.
5) Angelo wins (sensing a theme here).
6) We see Jeff Carter make at least one show. And in Bizarro World, he makes it from a Cheetah pattern stop.
7) Kelly becomes big news for the first three or four stops of the year as the media follows her, but doesn't win in '06-'07.
8) Del Ballard gets voted through to the Roll For Riches thingy.
And my darkhorse pick...
9) No Sean Rash on TV in 2006-07. Someone's gotta be contrary.

why is everyone against Kelly Kulick? she clearly has what it takes by making the exempt tour.
she beat what, 120 other bowlers, most men, to make the tour? i think she'll make a couple of shows and maybe even win a title. she definately has the game to win on tour.
So do all the other TT grads. And the returning exempt bowlers. They all have good games, make shows, and win titles. But with only 21 tournaments, figuring a few repeat winners, that leaves 15 or so different winners out of 58 exempt plus 6 others each week. They can't all win or make shows. And there are enough others that are significantly better or more experienced (Duke, WRW, Smith, Barnes, Jones,...) that there simply isn't room for everyone to make it.
That said, I hope she does well, does make a show or two, and at the very least retains her exemption through next year.

Tommy Jones another 4 titles.
PA two titles.
Chris Hayden wins one title.
Parker Bohn 1 title and 3 finals.
Pete Weber one title.
Richie Wolfe makes a show.
Scroggins Mike one title.
Kelly Kulick looks better than other bowlers...makes no shows.
Lefties have a great year. They go back to old patterns the last 5 weeks of the season.

Joe Ciccone will win his first title....He's hungry right now, and dominating out sport leagues here.
Duke of course will have a good year, as will Tommy. Both will win a couple titles.
WRW won't win until the gutter opens up like it did at the end of the year last year.
Michael Haugen Jr. will have a strong year, and earn an exemption.
Mike Fagan will win his first title.
Pat Allen will be player of the year. With Track in his hands, he will be a force this year.

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.

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.

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 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.
