Doug Kent saves Oatman
« on: March 30, 2008, 10:34:10 AM »
By making the show and bowling well this week, Doug jumps from outside the cut line in points to 20th..pushing the cut line from 38th back down to 39th. Billy Oatman edges out Ronnie Russell and finishes 39th and Kenny Simard does himself a favor by making the cashers round as well and maintains 38th..


wow...Billy better be taking Dougie to dinner tonight

Jeff you are one of kind i have more respect for you being real with all of us, you cannot love everyone all the time. I know off the boards you would probably tell us the deal while drinking a beer, i have a friend that has done dinner with you a few times and he says you are always straight up. In fact he is in one of photos on your website where you and a group of bowlers hit the town.

Jeff,
      I'm sure you have your reasons for feeling the way you do. It was a pleasure to meet and bowl with you at the Pro Am Monday night.

Billy is a good player....he has to be to be on Tour. I'm not going to sling mud, thats that what you do on a public forum. I try to be honest about how i feel about things and sometimes that steps on some feelings. Billy has a throng of fans and out of respect for them ( they are bowling fans and we need all we can get ) i will respectfully bow out of this thread

We don't expect you to say why you don't like him. Everybody has people they don't like for certain reasons.

I can say I crossed next to Billy Oatman in a regional, decent pro, Jack@ss otherwise.  Whined and b@tched about conditions and generally made an arse of himself.  

Ahh

I've been to 2 events the past few years where Oatman was bowling, and quite badly I may say. For a professional to continuously drop F bombs, Flip off the pins on a strike attempt, throw their balls into their bag and almost hit a young child with it, It is 100% unacceptable. I hope that if currentexempt= B Oatman, that he refuse the exemption and let someone that more appreciates Professional bowling be on tour. He's one of the few Black eyes on tour, there are not many, but he IS one of them!

Billy has been rammed down our throats every opportunity the PBA gets. He is somehow good enough to hang around on tour but in reality is not really that good. He should be extremely thankful that he thows the ball with his left hand.

wow are those true stories?? I met the guy in Reno at Team USA trials and he seemed to be having a good time joking with everyone..never saw that side of him when he was bowling.. there has to be a reason some folks have issues with him.. and those seems to be pretty good reasons to have issue..

I have to agree with you. All the times I saw him bowl he looked like he was having fun and joking around.


My guess is hes having to much fun and not taking the PBA as serious and hes just getting by... Thats what Im kind of understanding/thinking.
