Bowler to Fear in 2008?
« on: July 17, 2008, 01:17:37 AM »
Who's going to own in 2008?

I think Chris Barnes will overcome some of his television woes, and win 2-3 titles.  Rhino Page will have another solid season, but nothing mind-blowing.  2 titles tops.  Pete Weber will bounce back with a title.  PBIII and WRW will each win a title. I secretly hope PBIII wins a ton now that he broke his 61 event losing streak.  

But I think Norm Duke is going to absolutely own this year.  He finished last season like a ball of fire, and he's healthy now.  I hope he owns the world.

I'd love to see Ken Simard win a title, he is a blast to watch.  

I totally forgot about Jason Couch!  He'll win a title, but later in the season, probably after the new year.

Since everyone is picking the well known popular players, I'm going to try to pick 2-3 different guys ...

Dave D-Entremont - a homer pick (from a Cleveland suburb), but he performed very well in winning the tour trials. Maybe he makes a splash finally on the national tour.

Mike Scroggins - Played very well last year. I'm not sure it was an aberration.

Liz Johnson - Will become the first woman to make a PBA finals in a regular season event.

Of course, if I could accurately predict these sorts of things, I'd have nailed the lottery a few times by now.

I'd like to see a woman win a title too.  That would be a lot of fun.

Rhino Page! I would like to see WRW do well but to me, it looks like he just doesnt match up well with the equipment he is currently throwing.

Yes, she did. 2005 Banquet Open. She beat Malott in the semis, and then lost to Tommy Jones in the championship match.

I say Jeff Carter coming off an injury may be a force to wreckon with.  Also Chris Barnes.

Interesting. You pull for Bob and Bob pulls most of his shots. Coincidence?

Personally I think its between Danny Wiseman and Norm Duke. Duke is my flatout fav but Wiseman is due a huge year and with roto making a pearl cell and the grand illusion coming out I think he will be an underdog this year. He continues the trend of older bowlers coming out of nowhere to get back on the map. Ie Dave D, Mike Scroggins, Parker Bohn III... My opinion.

No one thinks Tony Reyes will come back from his injury and grab a title? I think he will!
