REV-O-LUTIONS
« on: August 26, 2005, 07:04:57 AM »
I usually don't post very much but all this Rev bashing is really pi**ing me off!!! I do not personally know Carl but what I do know is this. His ball reviews and posts (Achappy, Ex and a few others, you know who you are) have been very helpful to me and I enjoy reading them. That said, to everyone who reads this post, Rev is not the one at fault for easy scoring conditions, high performance bowling balls, high gas prices, or whatever the he** else everyone wants to blame him for. The sport of bowling has a lot of issues that need to be addressed and USBC knows this. But there are no simple solutions and they are not going to be cleared up overnight. This is our game and we all enjoy it and a lot of changes need to be made. We need to help the right people make these changes and support them in doing so ... and everyone needs to get off Rev's back. Rev, congrats on the high average and I'm waiting for your review on the Rule Delta 1 and Arsenal Reactive...

Andy, you guys then need to bash the wall shots not Steve, all Merkins posts are directed at Steve, which i think is insulting. Its not his fault the shot is easier than most, he just bowls there, i respect his skills and the ability to average 250 on anything!

Yeah, but I do bash the wall shots.  Like I said, it's just unfortunate that steve happens to be the example everyone remembers.  Afterall, steve himself has said he wished the owner would put out a tougher shot, and even asked him to.  But, sadly with todays mindframe, the owner didn't want to because he needs to compete with other walled houses and keep people bowling ther.  Tis a shame.

Ahem...
Hey - guys - If I remember correctly, Rev_o was ONLY posting his scores to the scratch doubles - and that's because he was a participant. I don't recall him bragging about them, or posting them other places on the site.

His partner was thrilled each week to see his scores - the rest of us were just jealous.

Nonetheless - what did the rest of you average on YOUR tough shot???

How does every house in the country put down an equally challenging pattern for every bowler, every night for all bowlers to get a true representation of his talent/skills all year long??? Make sport bowling conditions mandatory?? I understand what you're saying aak57, but how do you correct it? In baseball, if I'm a left handed hitter playing my home games with a short porch in right field and I hit 35 of my 45 homers at home and another player hits 44 homers with only 18 of his at home because his home field has a fence that's 40 feet deeper than mine, should I surrender my home run title and apologize to him??
How do you make it equal for everyone?? Is it possible??

Uh, mumzie, he DID post topics about his high scores outside of the BR tourney, such as that newspaper article about him that he posted on a few forums.  Oh and btw I was his partner last season.

Freak, with your analogy, I wouldn't say to give up the title, but I would hope that you'd acknowledge the situation of favorable home runs, and hope  that people wouldn't consider you the god of home runs.  And then congratulate you.

And his supply of Doan's Pills has dwindled considerably because of this fact.  Wow, was his back sore from carrying that team...!!...lol

Quite true.  And - yes - I do remember the newspaper article. Wouldn't you have shared that if it was about you???
