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.

BrunsNick,

I should rephrase that.. I do not dislike Jaros, but there are 3 other people I would rather see win tomorrow than him!! LOL..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)

Should be a great show.  Nice variety of styles.  I'm glad Jaros finally got his act together, TJ's been throwing the ball great all year, and Liz is definitely the X-Factor (pun intended for Jeffrevs ).  I've only seen Wes on TV.  He's looked nervous and performed poorly.  Now the pressure will really be on.

I like how Liz went through Chris Barnes like a hot knife through butter I'm rooting for Tommy though. He wins this, he's a lock for POY

It has been mentioned before here.  In the Chris Barnes Liz Johnson match ....BOTH Liz and Chris had 800s!  Chris had both a 290 AND a 300 in the match and lost!

Liz had an 822!!!  Wow!

Anyone know what equipment she is using?

Wow, something amazing will happen tommorrow no matter what.  Jaros could get a win and save his career, same with wes, Liz could make history, or Tommy could take the POY.  Wow.  What a show.

Hard to say if it will carry over or not, but if Wes Malott's does not get nervous it would be tough to bet against him. He was throwing the ball extremely well. Unbelievable power there. Liz bowled great again and she may make a great match out of it.
Jaros is a great and classy guy and is really good to see him back. Jones is strong and he has bowled really well this year.  
I think it is Malott and Jones in the final. Malott will fall in a close match.

I believe if she wins it is a NEGATIVE for the PBA tour and a POSITIVE for Woman's bowling.

I also believe it is an incredible feat what she has performed.

I have bowled a bit with Marsha Kamrowski and she really enjoyed beating up on the men!  Me included!

Usually I don't see woman's games as being competitive but on the right conditions!

However I salute Liz!

I agree with with you LL, I don't think it will be to good for the PBA if she wins.


I don't think it will be a negative for the pba.  If she had the ladies tour to bowl on, then maybe it would be a negative.  I am cheering for Liz tomorrow.

First off congrats to liz but I have a problem with  women being allowed to enter in the first place for the simple point that the women have there own pba


we do?  wow, when did this happen?  

Notwithstanding Jim's attempt to get the LCT off the ground last year, there has not been a women's professional organization since 2003.

Don't get me wrong I know that there are a lot of women that are really great bowlers but my point is on principle and just that. If the women want to compete in the mens pba the men should be able to compete in the ladys pba


This is my favorite post ever!!!!!!

Ignorance is bliss eh?

Sir, please do tell where this "lady's PBA" is. The PWBA went nipples up (T!ts is word filtered...go figure) 2 years ago. The LCT (ladies classic tour) is far from a mainstream national tour of the calibur of the PBA or the late PWBA. I know they have been trying really hard to get it up to the same level, but there have also been murmurings about its eventual demise as well. Finally, the WIBC holds 1 nationwide open even a year, the WIBC queens. That's hardly a way to make a living for someone wishing to be a professional bowler.

Joker, these women have had their livlihood ripped out from under them by the demise of the PWBA, and have been forced to "put up or shut up". I think this is an amazing testement to Liz Johnson's ability to put up.

Its amazing how many people spend vast qualtities of time posting on this forum about how they wish bowling could go back to being about skills and talent not ball choices and high revs . . . . so a bowler makes the finals through bowling well and playing a tight, error free tournament, and now some people have the nerve to complain because she is a woman. Kudos to the people who have posted to congratulate a BOWLER for playing well and making a tournament final, shame on those who are bemoaning the fact a woman has made the finals instead of a 7ft tall gorilla with a 12 ft backswing. . . .

I think it would be great for bowling in general if she won. Talk about the publicity for the sport. Not that there already has not been much but if she won it would be even more.
