Did no one watch the US Open ..
« on: July 27, 2013, 08:59:24 PM »
today on ESPN at Noon, Eastern time??

Have you all gotten so jaded you can no longer appreciate exciting professional bowling, even when it's the PBA, which I also have many reservations about!!

This was good bowling, exciting TV and good personalities.

Ok. Don't watch it. Who cares? I enjoyed it immensely all by myself!

The US Open format sounds like a survival test. Did Randy Petersen comment on why perhaps Belmonte may have run out of gas?

Randy did mention during the semifinals that after the last round of match play PDW said that he could bowl another 8 games if needed while Belmo said he couldn't throw another shot. Now I'm sure that was a little hyperbole on Belmo's part, but it sounds like he was pretty worn out and maybe that carried over into the finals. With that said the US Open is obviously a grind and I'm sure all the players were drained, and that makes what Wes did on Saturday, so soon after surgery, all the more impressive to me. Also, to echo other's statements, I must tip my hat to Marshall Kent. That's a hell of a week of bowling from the young amateur and its a shame that we didn't get to see his match, but I'm sure we'll see more of him soon!

I like the shows on CBS Sports Network better than any of the ESPN coverage. CBS seems to plan it out well and allot more than enough time for bowling, interviews, etc.

Every time I watch bowling coverage on ESPN there seems to either be something missing, coverage wise, or rushed to cram everything in. With that being said, congrats to Liz and Wes on their major victories.

The format that meant excluding the 3 vs. 4 matches was BPAA's not ESPN's.

They said on the Broadcast that the lanes for the Battle of the Sexes had been stripped and re-oiled. Now whether it was or not I don't know, just going by what Randy Peterson said on the broadcast.

Watched and recorded for future reference. It was nice to see the PBA back on Saturday afternoon. Spent many a Saturday watching the PBA and then going out and bowling with my Dad. A ritual we looked forward to every week and didn't miss to many either.

Granted I'm not normal ( if you notice I make a ton of my posts in the early morning) but 11:30 is early  :P
