Liz Johnson Makes History!
« on: March 19, 2005, 04:39:08 AM »
Kudos to Liz Johnson for being the first woman ever to make it to a PBA final!  Whether she wins or not tomorrow is immaterial.  She has shown that skill is what it is all about in this sport, not testosterone.

Good for her...but it's gonna be weird to see a woman on the telecast tomorrow.

I wonder how much press this is going to get?

Great Job by her to get this far. Amazing!!! If TJ wins tomorrow he pretty much locks up Player of the Year.

i think liz johnson will bowl against wes mallott----he's in a no win situation. if he wins it's like, "well you should beat a woman---what's the big deal?". if he loses, he'll never hear the end of it, "how could you lose to a woman ?". besides all this---congrats to liz johnson. she made it to the finals because she BOWLED better.

I really don't buy into the 'you aught to beat a woman' thought process.  Unless I'm missing something, Liz has WAY more TV experience and tour experience than Wes.  She has qualified for two different PBA Tour events as a non-exempt bowler, the first as an amateur.

The two hottest bowlers on the show tomorrow are Liz and Tommy Jones.  I fully expect it to be the two of them in the finals.  Either way it should be a great show!

This show could not be any better for me.. Liz Johnson, Big Wes, TJ and throw Jaros in the mix.. This is going to one of the best shows of the year so far!!

Mika and WRW fell which is OK with me..

I hope Golaith comes out on top in this one though!


I was going to offer the Rocky analogy...it seemed like every time she was on the ropes, she figured out some way to recover.  

And despite the fact that big Wes is a helluva a nice guy, I'd like to see Liz win this one

Then there's that little voice in my head that says,"This is what ESPN and the PBA wants".Even though I know that Liz is one of the best there is,male or female.I've got to admit I'm pulling for her though...Reminds me of Anika Sorenstam on the PGA tour

I sure hope Liz wins it all.  It could be the biggest public relations coup that bowling has ever had.  I can just see Liz appearing on Good Morning America and getting plugs for herself and bowling on virtually every sports media show.  Sure hope the PBA's PR hacks are smart enough to be on the phones to all the major media sources to let them in on the potential for a history making event.  GO LIZ!!!!

Pulling for Jaros on this one, if he doesn't win, then someone who won 3x last year will not be exempt for 2005-2006. SAD!

It'd be nice to see Johnson vs Jaros, at least one will have a career saving tournament!

I could care less about Jaros.. I would like to see Wes win it, then Liz or Tommy.. Big Wes has been bowling very well lately, he is due a tourny win..
