Did no one watch the US Open ..
« on: July 27, 2013, 08:59:24 PM »
today on ESPN at Noon, Eastern time??

Have you all gotten so jaded you can no longer appreciate exciting professional bowling, even when it's the PBA, which I also have many reservations about!!

This was good bowling, exciting TV and good personalities.

Ok. Don't watch it. Who cares? I enjoyed it immensely all by myself!

I was following the tournament online from the start since I did not have Xtra Frame or any other access. Belmonte had an immense lead in the early rounds but had trouble once match play began. Because of some scheduling conflicts, I missed the television finals.

The US Open format sounds like a survival test. Did Randy Petersen comment on why perhaps Belmonte may have run out of gas? Could it have been that Belmonte's two handed style is a drawback in a US Open format?

I was just happy to see Belmonte bowl bad and lose. I am so tired of seeing him on TV.

Congrats to Big Wes on his first major..

I missed it.  Did not realize it was on today until it was already over.  Usually I look for bowling on Sunday's tv schedule, was not expecting it on a Saturday.

I called ESPN and asked if it would be replayed anytime on either ESPN or ESPN2 but it will not be.

It will be on ESPN Classic but I don't have that channel.

I promptly changed the channel when I saw how they shortchanged Marshall.

I watched it, and didn't like that match #1 wasn't shown except for a few highlights.  I also didn't like the format used in match #2 where they had 2 matches going on at the same time.  It would have been better having 2 shows back to back, where they could have showed the stepladder finals in its entirety.

That being said, I'm glad that the Big Nasty finally got his revenge on Belmonte and got that first major.  He made that Hy-Road Pearl look sweet.  Johnson winning another major was cool to see also.  She does my hometown proud.
