Bowler to Fear in 2008?
« on: July 17, 2008, 01:17:37 AM »
Who's going to own in 2008?

I think Chris Barnes will overcome some of his television woes, and win 2-3 titles.  Rhino Page will have another solid season, but nothing mind-blowing.  2 titles tops.  Pete Weber will bounce back with a title.  PBIII and WRW will each win a title. I secretly hope PBIII wins a ton now that he broke his 61 event losing streak.  

But I think Norm Duke is going to absolutely own this year.  He finished last season like a ball of fire, and he's healthy now.  I hope he owns the world.

I'll say Norm & Rhino Page w/PDW as a dark horse.  Rhino doesn't have to worry about qualifying every time now that he's exempt & Norm w/a full healthy year.  PDW knows he bowled well all year except for when the lights went on.  He's got something to prove again & when he does.....

Norm Duke, Chris Barnes, Wes Malott and PBIII.  I look at all of these guys and could see any of the 4 have a dominating year!

I don't think so. The pool I mentioned comprises bowlers capable of having a dominating year.  

It's not like you can select just a handful and say that no one else stands a chance.  

In fact, I also believe that Rhino and Ryan Shafer should be thrown into the mix.  

And, it wouldn't be surprising to me in the least if someone else other than those I've mentioned kicks everyone's arse.

After all, these guys are ALL top notch caliber keglers.

Parker and Norm 3 wins, Rhino two.  Wes Malott two.
WRW 1 maybe 2 wins, one a major!  Scrogs another two wins.

Doug Kent too good to keep down.

Mushtare a Tv final?  hmmm?
Thru the weekly qualifying Bob Learn makes a show too!

i think there's two players you had better look out for. walter ray williams, jr., missed out on a record 7th player of the year award by two points after dominating the first half of the 2007-2008 season. and norm duke. duke has been injured and/or ill the past two years. had he been healthy he very well could have been player of the year for the last two years. both of these men have something to prove.

TJ will have another big year but Kenny Simard will win his 1st title.

Tommy Jones was also injured for a good portion of last year, thus the reason he only won a couple of titles.  

I believe he will be posting another formidable season.  

Besides, he's sure fun to watch!

I am hoping Jason Lundquist is going to have a great season. Got to talk to him for a while before, very nice guy.

JASON COUCH - he's itching to get it going again and has something to prove. Oh how quickly we forget just how good this guys is...

On a side note, the fool that earlier mentioned Terrance Reeves is an IDIOT! Are you kidding me??? His only success will be in Vegas sporting DRAG for "big tips"!

Seriously, though... The kid's a fine bowler. Hell of a lot better than me! But I'd be surprised if he even makes one show.
