Title: Anyone pulling for Peterson?
Post by: Light Hit Split on January 10, 2007, 01:03:50 AM
I know that Randy Pederson doesnt seem to have many friends in the boards of BR.com, but is anyone out there hoping he puts a good week together so that the broadcast might be Randy less?

I'm surprised that Randy is bowling the TQR. I thought he pretty much decided to hang up the shoes last season. Was his retirement just referring to the fact that he wasn't going to bowl trials?

I was thinking a Dave Ryan-less booth, but whatever...

Yeah, I had to edit my original post after checking the roster. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him back on Tour. First of all, it get's him out of the booth

Secondly, the man has a very solid physical game. He's one of the guys that I think of when I complain about the exempt tour. Guys like Randy still have plenty of game, but the exempt format shuts them out.

I like watching Randy bowl, I enjoyed watching the ToC when he was on.

I can do without Holman, but I would like to see Randy back in competition. I don't think he ever got credit for being as good as he really is.

How bout Randy Pederson ?

Post by: LuckyLefty on January 10, 2007, 10:47:33 AM
I'd like him to bowl...(love his style...especially in his winning wrist braces days)...and I like his announcing.  I LOVE him AND Norm Duke in the booth and Dave Ryan doesn't bother me at all!

REgards,

Couldn't agree more...the man still has a lot of game and definately knows the ins and outs of the modern game.  I would love to see him back out on the lanes....its really a shame that the new format shut him and others out.

He can bust a golf ball too.

Although he struggled some the day we played he was pretty long off the tee.

I am totally for Randy. I know he is not a favorite here and gets a little caught up in his cliches, but I think he is doing it for the right reason. To bring a little more attention to his sport of bowling. I hope he does well.

I never had any problems w/ Randy.  I remember 3 specific events that he was in:

1)  1987 National Championship:  Beating Marshall 279-170; It was the 4th frame and Holmann looks into the camera and mouths "It's Over," then Nelson Burton Jr. says "That's not the right attitude."

2)  1987 Fair Lanes Open:  The very next week Randy wins...changing his equipment from a Black Rhino to a Blue Ebonite Firebolt.  Not too many people have done the feat of winning 2 weeks straight

3)  1995 Bayer Tour Players Championship:  He lost to Ernie Shleigal, but not because of his physical game (which was spot on), but because Ernie defeated him with the one strength he has on the lanes:  The mental game.  He kept on taunting him throughout the match and in the end, all Randy needed was a strike and good count to win.  He left the 4 pin, then all of a sudden Ernie's running all around the arena yelling "I don't believe it!  I don't believe it!"  It just goes to show that you don't necessarily have to be better than your opponent, you just have to be smarter

Hey Randy, don't f**k it up if you're bowling the PTQ!  You wouldn't want someone to make a noise so you can blame them for a bad hit like you did in the ToC when obviously it was just a bad break (wasn't it an 8 pin that he left?)

Randy lost the match to Schlegel by leaving a solid 8 not a 4... He lost by getting a bad break not mentally.

He's very ARROGANT...if you're not one of HIS posse/clique...ie...golfing/bowling buddy's...your not even gonna get the time of day!

Randy may be liked more if instead of whining and crying, he utilizes a pacifier.

I'm a Randy Pederson fan. I like him in the booth, and he's a great bowler. I hope makes a T.V. appearence this year.
