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?)
