  1. That's a good enough ball. As long as it's a fingertip drill, you should be able to curve it. As for scores, the pros don't bowl on the same conditions as leagues do. The oil is applied to the lane more evenly, making it much harder to throw strikes. Me shooting 225 in league and a pro winning a tournament with a 225 is the same difference as a local scratch golfer shooting 65 at a muni vs a pro shooting 65 at Augusta. The difference is you can see the obstacles in golf, but you can't in bowling.
  2. I fuckin hate tacky approaches! Good way to screw up knees and wrists (when you fall on your face).
  3. Take a football and try to throw a spiral underhanded. Keep your right elbow in just like when swinging a golf club. Make sure your ball is drilled with a fingertip grip. If you're in Austin, go see the guys at Highland or Westgate. I booked 225 last season. Been bowling for 45 years. Seriously considering the senior tour next year. Edit: What ball did you get?
  4. Red & Joey, I have 7 total in sec 116, Row 12/13. I'll take face $150 each.
  5. Due to construction on Bass Concert Hall, the Champions Club has moved this year to the Thompson Conference Center. I got a handful of passes if anyone wants some. Here's the info. Passes are mobile this year. The new Champions Club location at TCC will continue to provide you with the same pregame hospitality amenities you’ve always enjoyed. Our donors’ gameday experience is a top priority at the Longhorn Foundation and we are thrilled to provide you a Champions Club gameday experience at TCC. Located on the north side of the LBJ Library, TCC includes a climate-controlled, indoor hospitality space with full-service bars and food buffets for purchase. Family-friendly activities, flat screen TVs and a pregame pep rally led by Texas Cheer & Pom will remain essential components of your gameday hospitality experience.
  6. I think it's the whole inadvertent whistle thing here. Once the ump said "dead ball" he can't change it to live ball. However, he could have let the play go, then reviewed it.
  7. Fair ball. Good double. Pucker up Rocker.
  8. Rocker just struck out the top of the order. No reason not to think he won't do the same in the 2nd and 3rd.
  9. This was my thought. He did it for a reason. We'll find out why eventually.
  10. "I was told that black people's votes are only supposed to count for 3/5th of a vote."
  11. What I read into that number is that it should be 60%, but it's not and that's bad news for DJT.
  12. Cruz won by 2.6. Even if you think there 1M more votes out there for Trump than there were in 2016, this turnout still favors Biden.
  13. I agree on the sanctity, but Mitch has spent the last 5 years pissing on that sanctity.
  14. The GOP has spent the last decade doing it at the circuit level. Turn-about is fair play.
  15. That's them alright. That's the house.
  16. Holy Shit! I think these are the dudes that live across the street from me!
  17. After getting aced for 5 of Tech's first 12 points, that turned into a more dominating performance. So much so that JE moved Iosia to libero for the 3rd set to see how she responded to more playing time. Shook played the last third of the last 2 sets. It took her a bit to get comfortable setting the middles, but she got a few good ones in. I took the family to this match and we sat behind the Tech baseline. It felt very odd, empty, quiet, and cavernous for the first 15 minutes, then you kinda forget about it. Sitting behind the baseline allows you to see lots of thing like angles, nasty floater serves, and just how high Logan and Brionne can hit over blocks when we're in system.
  18. Nothing really spectacular last night, just a solid win over a mediocre team. We slacked off for a few minutes in the middle of the 2nd set, but that's about the worst thing. Tyler mentioned that Logan leads the league in aces, but neglected to add that she also leads the league in service errors. If ticket prices come down today, I think I'll take the fam to the game tonight.
  19. I was just thinking about all the delayed football games and that the women volleyball players didn't seem to have these issues.
  20. Then Shook needs to start working on attacking because by my count we still only have 5 healthy attackers, right?
  21. Thanks for posting. That was a much better performance. Better passing = more in-system attacks that get over/around the block. Speaking of blocking, 22 blocks in 3 sets is pretty dominant.
  22. The first match was replayed on LHN the next day. I keep checking for the replay of the 2nd match and can't find it.
