Season review - Most famous and infamous incidents on tv
« on: April 19, 2007, 01:49:16 PM »
Most famous incident on tv -
I came down to three instances. Runner ups were Pete Weber winning the Us Open, and the championship match in Las Vegas between Jason Couch and Billy Oatman. Ryan Shafer's 300 was also nice to watch. My vote for most famous incident would be Norm Duke climing the entire ladder in suburban New York City, dominating them and defeating the trash talking first seed Ryan Shafer. He was quite amazing that show and while everyone was playing the lanes like they thought they were supposed to, Duke was defying the odds playing an unusal line and release and looked perfect doing it.

Most infamous incident on tv -

Mike Machuga looking absolutly horrible in the championship after looking pretty good in the first  match and handed the championship to PTQ Mike Minneman. Tommy Jones last ball againt Kent in the shootout tie was very infamous at the Masters.
Most infamous incident though I thought though was in Baltimore when unintentionally more then likely when Sean Rash was going up against town favorite Danny Wiseman and after getting a big gain on Wiseman in the middle of the match yelled "Who's your hometown hero now!" Funny, yet not very cool at the same time. After reading Wiseman's comments about it on the PBA site sounds like he thought the same.

That whole tournament Mineman won was very surreal. The moment Dale Traber walked out with the "Dave's Dills" thing, I knew we were going to have a really fouled up show.

I loved Mineman winning it; it was a great story and he looked very humble, gracious and overjoyed. I thought the staredown look Machuga was giving the lanes at the very end was powerful, too. You could almost read his mind -- "I should have played 'em straight."

The other "infamous" moment for me was the Couch-Allen match with the whole "I'm KNOCKIN'!" routine. My wife has started watching shows with me and has very little idea of who anyone is (other than Duke and Delutz, who she met at a pro-am), and after that moment, every week she'd ask me whether Allen was going to be on the show and if he was, she wouldn't watch it.

infamous....Shafer's comment "Not this time Norm" would probably get my vote.

I'm absolutely SHOCKED that you'd leave out Tony Reyes' 300 on television and his first title.. Come to think of it, I'm not surprised at all.. Haters tend to leave out great moments..

Also, the Sean Rash "incident" happened at the end of the match.. Mid-match he was down over 30 pins, as Wiseman had started with the front 5.

My two were when PDW and TJ came out of very difficult patterns and proceeded to made them look like a "walled up" THS enroute to winning titles in those shows. Oh ... and when the head of my local pro shop, Mike Mineman, won !!!

Infamous ... Duke beating a trash-talking Ryan Schafer.

my vote: "not today Norm" PLUS the 7-10 after that
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Personally I thought that 300 was almost as boring as Butch Soper's in 93. More of ho-hum reaction. If he did it in the title match then would be different. First title is great but not amazing for someone of his caliber is just now getting his first title is not all that impressive. I thought Shafer's 300 was more emotional

A few years from now, I too will probably most remember the "Not today Norm" line from Shafer.

The match I enjoyed watching the most was the Couch/Oatman here in Vegas. It was really fun to watch Oatman enjoying himself so much. And the match went down to the last shot. I was on the edge of my seat for that one.
