Nice to see that the South will be well represented. What I don't understand was the need for the tape delay. Oh well, yet another bad decision by the PBA.

Yes, and while I will do a bracket, I don't watch college basketball. Neither does the rest of America who doesn't have money on the game. What's the average rating of an NCAA Tournament game? A 5.4 average share on basic cable. It's higher than bowling, but that's still a pretty pathetic rating.

Agreed 100%.....although I do think it is pointless to tape delay all these events because what difference is it going to make for TV ratings in the long run?

Maybe, they can get more advertising $$ when it's not on the same time as the NCCA tournament. The NCCA tournament holds the #1 spot in the 18-49 age group, the one advertisers love.
I only know a handful of people who actually watch or even care about March Madness. Then again, they don't care about bowling either.

First off...Congrats to Randy Weiss for advancing as far as he has. I have known Randy since I was stationed in South Carolina in his hometown of Columbia. Randy is a really cool guy and deserves to be where he is.
I have seen Randy bowl quite a bit from having been around him. When I watched the show yesterday and saw that armswing, I was thinking, "Where in the heck did that come from"? What I am referring to, is several times, his release looked like it was coming over the top of the ball and follow through in front of his body. In years past, I remember his follow through directly over his right shoulder. For those that have been around him more recently, is this something he just developed or wonder if he was having some gripping issues (having hard time holding onto the ball)?
When Rob Stone made the reference of Randy being the Chaminade of the tournament, where was Randy Pedersen to say that he had been an exempt player before due to winning the points title in the Southeast? I am not so sure I would consider Randy as a 16 seed type of player. But, he definitely is no slouch. The man can play. Barnes is definitely more of a 1 seed. Dick Allen (What is the reason Richie wants to be called Dick now?) I would consider like a 6-7 seed and Randy more of a 10 seed.
So who are you pulling for? Even though I am a Barnes fan, it would be cool to see Randy get his first National Title.
Peace doesnt always have to be silent.

Just saw this info and felt I had to share: "CBS/Turner nab best (March Madness) ratings in 18 yrs. Avg: a 6.8 up 15% from last year, according to Nielsen. Sunday's rating/share was 8.5/17."
Considering today's Nielsen ratings for everything are lower than they used to be because of greater variety of entertainment options pulling people away from TV, and spreading their viewing over more channels, those are some big numbers.

Apparently you missed the giant "***SPOILER ALERT***" next to the title of this post. If you didn't want to know who made it to the final show, all you had to do was not read the post. This post was for the people who wanted to look ahead, obviously not for people like you.

Storm has it on their website too... Under their "news" link. That's who said Jaros was in it as well... They did not say that Chris Barnes made it, but he could be from a different region maybe...

Pike, that wasn't a spoiler on the Storm site. They were just reporting that Jaros made it through his first TV match. Jaros loses to Randy Weiss on the next show.

I dont see the big deal either. We are acting as though he just gave out who won the tournament. All he did was posted who made the finals. So far only one person cares THAT MUCH. Anyone else???

He just wants the negative attention.

OK, another to add to ignore.

Youll see that The Curmudgeon, can hand it out, but can not take it, probably an old 150 bowler that still cant score on todays walls. Before you ay anything, yes I will bowl you for money!

I'm glad to see that Dick cleaned up his release some. I always cringed in the past when he threw the ball. But what kind of idiot spits on his shoe each shot, then complains when he sticks at the line?
