Who is ready to have a PBA bowler of the year season?
« on: August 03, 2009, 02:13:40 AM »
Ok everyone,with the PBA season starting Tuesday,what bowler do you think will have a massive year and win bowler of the year? Also what bowler do you think my take a big step backwards and have the
worst year of their career? Is their a bowler that you think may lose their exempting after being on tour
for more than five years?

Tommy Jones -POY
Walter Ray Williams-Backwards
Mike Edwards or Jason Couch-Losing Exemption

I have to disagree on the Jason couch thing
he was really starting to hit his stride late last year, and getting used to his new knee. I look for him to make at least 4 shows this season and at least one title. He is way too good and way too much of a competitor to sit on the sidelines. Plus he is really the only lefty I really like.

Lochetter could have a break out year, Fagan could also. It would be nice to see TJ return to winning form.

can't count out Chris Barnes or Wes for POY
they are both on top of their game

I agree with what most have said.

I also have a surprise or two lol.

POY - Bill O'Neill (Im thinking three titles maybe even a major.)
Step Back - I dont know of anybody here cause I see maybe a few players not doing the same as last year such as Scroggins but it doesnt mean they take a step back in a sense. Hard to have as good a year as before when you win the US Open.
Losing Exemtion - Jurek or Kent. Both probably need to get off to hot starts to keep there mind in it since they both have such successful lives away from the tour.

I'm a lefty-hater from way back, but I've gained a lot of respect for P.A.  He's surprisingly versatile and you can't question his intensity.  Could see him win POY.

Might be closer than you think. He really has been contemplating retiring from full time touring and just bowl Tourneys close to Baltimore and the Majors.

If Rhino Page can keep to a strict training regimen and keep his emotions in check, I think he has a good chance at POY.  He might just be the new PDW...he sure has the fire.

Despite his domination of the King of Bowling, I see Wes Malott sliding backwards to just really good...kind of like he was in the late part of last season.

I hate to see anybody lose an exemption, but I'm concerned about Steve Jaros.  Seems like father time is bound to catch him one of these years.

Haha, here's one for you.

POY - Wes Malott
Backwards - Yes, Wes Malott
Loses exemption - Kretzer

Face it, Wes had a ridiculous year last year.  Barring any crazy run by anybody else, Wes could take a step back and still win POY.  He can't really improve on last year, can he?

here is something no one else has mentioned. what if norm duke were to go all year without being hampered by the physical ailments he has suffered the last 2-3 seasons. your player of the year race would already be decided.

Yup, Father Time catches us all eventually. IF Norm Duke can stay healthy and bowl up to his capability,POY would be a shoo-in.But another year like that or even more/worse injuries, and you might be looking at Norms' swan song...
