Does anyone watch the PBA?
« on: November 29, 2013, 01:30:53 PM »
I stopped monitoring couple of years ago after I put the ball up for good. This not to slam the PBA but was just wondering.

Nah, the other 10% are just sick and tired of it.  Week after week, year after year breathlessly waiting for Chris Schenkel to come ghost riding out of the grave carrying with him a new ABC contract for Saturday afternoons in one hand and a AC Delco sponsorship in the other.  But thanks for your input anyway.

No I do not. Just do not find it entertaining. From what I have heard the webcast available during the touraments is far better.

If I could change anything it would simply be to make it an actual tour again. Increases the fans chances of going to see these events in person.


Similar to this

That's where the sport is missing its chances to grow the sport. Especially with high school bowling catching on it would be great for them to see the best of the sport like a proam event.

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Yea, your right, it's not the other 10%. It's pretty much just you.

If they were live like last weekend, I love it -- tapped -- I tape it. But it will never be like it was when it was live on abc.

Agreed. And that is one of the biggest regrets I have; not having been able to make it to a live broadcast of the PBA on ABC. Closest to me was Wichita or St. Louis, both of which were a 5 hour drive then (speed limit was 55 on the shortest route there). I was overseas the last 2 years it was on ABC, so I totally missed those. But to have been at one of those would have been great.. like seeing Route 66 and the neon signs back in its heyday.

OCD translates to accurate portal of the provable truth, even if it means having to drive the point home several times.  :o  On that note, you're aware of a few outstanding homework assignments…. 


Really, bitching about a segment of folks you don't agree with isn't going to change how the telecasts are viewed. Unlike technical topics that are slam dunk right/wrong, this is subjective. Save your energy.
