Here's my 3 scenerios:
1. This just very well maybe the year Chris Barnes get's the monkey off his back and crushes everyone!
2. This may be the season Duke stays healthy and wins 5 or more titles! We have all seen what he can do as a part timer! lol
3. WRW! Not much to say because the guy will always be in the hunt to capture titles every week until he decides to retire! The only thing I can really say is the other guys on tour better hope WRW doesn't learn to carry the ten pin a bit better otherwise he's going to win 5+ titles in 08'.
4. I also think a new face will grab the top 5 this next season. Maybe our very own Jeff Carter will tear it up. You know he's itching to get out there after missing most of last season with an injury!

I love the sound of falling pins anytime of the day.
I live in Buffalo, NY and contrary to popular belief, it is not snowing.
I wish I had Chuck Norris with me last night. He would have made sure that 9 pin went down for my first 300 game.

Second choice as a top-5 longshot would be Tony Reyes, if he's healthy.

As for my sleepers for this season :
1) Mike Wolfe
2) Billy O'Neill
3) Michael Fagan
As for a dominant player....to me Barney keeps getting better and better. Eventually he's gonna figure out his "TV troubles" and we're all in trouble when that happens !!!

Guys like you is why i think the tour needs to be kept going, I have thought about this and think an optional USBC fee to fund your prize funds would be great.
I know you do not want anything handed to you but at least to help the sport of bowling live on, 3-5 bucks a year is something we all would never even notice spent.

If you talking about left side domination it will be Rhino who will be in every tournament now and has no pressure from making TQR's anymore.

As far as Rhino goes, while I think he will have solid season and remaining near the top, im thinking top 10 or 15. While it is a longer road to bowl the TQR's, it is also 7 games of practice on that week's pattern on that week's surface. With his talent level and that small added knowledge, I think helped him have such a great year. Without that extra practice, will it make a difference, I think just a little. I think he might win once again, just not a totally dominating year like some here are predicting. But I have been wrong before.

It really is hard to say who will dominate since we don't know who's coming out of the Tour Trials.
On a side note I want to see 900 Global on TV.

My choice right now would be the Big Nasty Wes Malott. Him throwing a cell or the Grand Illusion when it comes out could be a deadly 1, 2 punch.
Let me add saying I think a good sleeper could be EVD, Eddie Van Daniker. I compete with him in the East Region and this kid is only 22 but does have some unbelievable talent.

Ed Van Daniker is one hell of a bowler. He bowled a regional here in the SW region between tour stops in Vegas and El Paso. There were about 4 TQR guys that showed up to bowl. I crossed with Ed on Saturday, and while not really overpowering, he was smooth and consistent. He threw the same shot on ball 1 and the last ball of the day.

wes malott
chris barnes
rhino page
sean rash
would all be the top 5 i expect to see win
i always enjoy seeing someone new or someone from the past in the mix however
--------------------
Post by: ccrider on May 21, 2008, 05:54:48 PM
Mallot
Barnes
Scroggins would be my fourth choice. After that, you can't count out Duke or Weber if they are healthy. They will win more than there share. The young guns will show up, but they will not dominate the likes of Williams, Mallot or the new Chris Barnes.

Barnes will be there, WRW, TJ, Big Nasty, PB3, Rash, and the younger players are making it exciting, Simard, Fagan, Rhino. It should be fun to watch and how many repeat winners will we have next year? Will Ryan Shafer win a title next year? How many first time winners will we have?
It will make for an entertaining tour season and I am looking forward to it.
