WRW and Pete Weber
« on: December 14, 2006, 02:41:10 AM »
I don't see either of their names in the live scoring.  Are they not bowling?

Along with half of the rest of the exempt bowlers.  Monacelli, Voss, Weber, WRW, and Machuga.  Chris Collins had said he would withdraw but changed his mind when he realized it was the Shark pattern and he'd won on it last year (just a guess).

I don't think that is anything new for Chris Collins to kick things.  It's common between him and seven year olds.

He bowled bad at a regional one time and he threw one of his balls through the glass front door of the bowling center. I watched his brother at the Mini Eliminator and he is the same. It is actually quite fun to watch.

Sounds like european ex-PBA Tore Torgersen when he was a hothead.. He's calmed down a lot.. But still has some temper..

I know Chris Collin's sponsor very well, off the lanes very nice guy on the lanes you never know how he will react. I agree i have sat behind him a few megabuck's and had fun just laughing watching him be a total idiot. 10 minutes later after he is done bowling he is cracking jokes, he has a jekyll/hyde personality.

Why are a lot of the exempt bowlers not bowling this week?

I bowled in a ProAm with Chris Collins last year (two stops before he won) and he was very nice and friendly to talk with.  Later on I talked to a friend of mine who watched him in the round of 64 two days before that he was throwing such a fit that he was given a lecture by the tournament director to stop behaving like a 7 year old...it sounds like he has not changed much.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't bowl the last stop before the break.  Weber and Williams already have their exemptions, they don't need the points.  Voss and Machuga are usually so consistent that they're practically guaranteed to keep their jobs.  Monacelli's probably going home to Venezuela and wants the extra time since the trip is so long.

Machuga is in like 50th place on the points list. He's not guaranteed anything, with the way he bowled in the 1st half he shouldn't take anything for granted.
