Thanks to the entire BR nation....i appreciate the support from everybody. Its been a weird week to say the least. I was just hoping to have a top 40 finish, head home for the weekend and take my kids to the Monster Truck show. I guess I blew that, huh ? It should be a very interesting show on Sunday. I hope everybody tunes in to see something thats tough to describe.
Thanks again, JC

Jeff,
Roll 'em good! I was at work and kept going back and forth between live scoring and this forum hitting "refresh" every 30 seconds or so. Didn't get much work done, I'm afraid.
I know this is going to be big for you, particularly in terms of moving inside the cut line. But that's not all you do, and I know you know that. Go get that first title. You're a class act and you deserve it.

Go Jeff!!!
Congrats on a great week so far. Go get 'em!
It was very nice meeting you at the Dick Weber.
Thanks for being "one of the guys" and keeping a good repoir with your fanbase out here on BR!

Jeff. Can you tell us all here why the scores were so high? Everybody thought the scores would be much lower.
--------------------
3 holes of fun!!

Well i am sure jeff could elaborate but the main reson scores were so high is because the PBA failed to tell us they were cutting almost half the volume out of the cheetah, therefore even with plastic the balll was able to read the lane and make a move that allowed the carry that we are not used to seeing out of plastic Hust my 2 cents jeff?????

Who cares that the PBA did adjust the oil? I am just glad to see them trying something new. I would have loved to be there watching this week.
Jeff here's to you for a great week so far. Keep it up and make all of us proud. Don't forget to give a shout out to all of us on here.

They didn't exactly fail to tell us that. They said several times that the Cheetah pattern would be modified to more closely resemble a pattern used when plastic was the primary ball technology.

Yup if you're going old school why would you not make the lanes old school as well as the balls. It wouldn't make sense to bowl on conditions set up for the newest technology.
Good luck Jeff, if nothing else you can see that with all things pretty equal you're one of the best out there.

Ah yes, a trip back to the old days of lacquer finished lanes and short oil...Whack 'em on Sunday Jeff!!!!!

Hey Steve,hold on.I've gotta go get another pitcher...
-
Good luck Jeff... Also thanks for the release tips... you probably don't remember, but it has helped my game immensely.

Jeff .. the 6th game in round of 8 was a thriller. When you were up in the 10th frame I was probable more nervous then you. When you finish you could do no less then a tie .. great shooting! Congratulations and GOOD LUCK on Sunday!

Jeff,
Not that we have talked much, but I have seen you post here quite a few times, so when I saw you coming through the field, I was rooting for you to make it to the show. Tomorrow, I can brag that I "know" one of the bowlers on the show.
Good luck tomorrow. You've been bowling good this week, so maybe the tv condition will be what you've had all week and you can continue to roll on.
P.S. With the lower volume of oil, was it really that much harder to score with the plastic? The scores seemed really up/down for a lot of players this week, shooting 250-170 at times.

Congratulations on a great week of bowling, culminated by your first victory!
On a week when some bowlers decided that this particular tournament was not worthy of their presence, you and other great bowlers put on a heck of a display of awesome talent.
I watched the telecast with my sons, and my oldest, who happens to be as big of an Eddie Van Halen nut as you are, says he wants one of those shirts--so can you send him one? 
Hope to see you on TV again soon doing much of what you did yesterday.
