Jeff Richgels & Marc McDowell Into Madison Bowling HOF
« on: August 14, 2008, 10:27:21 PM »
Since, riggs is a Storm staffer and both use Storm equipment...I thought I'd post here.

Nice story on two of the best Wisconsin and Madison have ever turned out.

Thanks very much.  It was a memorable night and so perfect for us to go into together.  

For the record, Mac is now back with Ebonite, joining our Turbo 2-N-1 Grips teammate Mike Shady.

Jeff, Marc, and another bowler mentioned in the article, Eric Pedersen, not only possess an immense amount of bowling talent, they're even better "people".

Coongratulations to Mac & Riggs!

I don't know Marc or Jeff personally, but as a kid, I always heard about them from other bowlers in the area and they were always described as really good people. The other guy mentioned in the article (Gary Zuege) is also a hell of a good guy. Basically a class of all good bowlers and better human beings. Congrats to all!

230-n-up-or-bust, since you mentioned Eric and this is a ball/equipment oriented site I have to mention what an amazing story/bowler he is.  Eric is a lefty who learned to bowl with right-handed shoes so he actually hops a little as he lets the ball go and that helps him get so many revs on the ball that he uses only a hard RUBBER ball MADE IN 1938 more than 99 percent of the time.  And he average 240 plus with it on house conditions with zillions of 300s and 800s.  He has come within a couple 7-pins of 900 a few times and I predict that he will get 900 one day.  When he throws a "real" ball he usually can't keep it on the lane he hits it so much.  He is fun to watch and I would recommend it if you ever get the chance.

Riggs, I crossed with Eric in the super bowl doubles tournament in La Crosse a couple of years ago and watched him shoot 300 with that ball.  It's almost ridiculous the amount of carry he can generate with the ball, very impressive.

Watching Eric start up the tractor is hilarious.
He put more on it in 2 frames than most bowlers put on it in a game.

Mac & Riggs are 2 of the best bowlers to come out of Wisconsin ever.
I've bowled against them enough in the last 15 years around the state.
They are truly ambassadors for our sport.

If it doesn't come from Team Utah.
Just leave it in the car or at home.
