I feel bad for daugherty
« on: January 22, 2011, 04:20:11 AM »
Man he is looking bad on T.V but I wouldnt be in his shoes either. That much pressure to perform in that setting with that much money and the title of being The TOC champion is nerve crazy!!! His performance today doesnt reflect how well he bowled throughout the week..

"Side note: Somewhere today, Steve Jaros is smiling at having his TV low-score record squelched from the books."
 

 

 

 

True enough. But is the PBA smiling for a 100 being posted on its return to ABC? Or the Rob Stone comment that Daugherty reminded him of his wife open bowling? I think not.

Anyone thats bowled any high level amateur stuff knows Tom Daughtery, hes a former touring pro, was on Hammer staff and is a beast in the Southeast. He can play, just had a very, very tough day.

He shouldn't feel bad. Most affiliates showed college basketball over bowling. So not nearly the viewers they expected got to watch this mismatch.

 

Glad they let Nelson Berton Jr sit in and watch the telecast. I think he said all of a few words during the event while Rob talked away.

  Yeah, I felt bad for him too. I can only guess he had a good look in practice with that ball, and just couldn't get it where he wanted it in the match. Smallwood kinda had the same trouble. I suppose that's where the Aulby MVP ball comes in. Not as strong a cover.

I hope Daugherty gets on another show and shoots 300. That would be an epic comeback xD

The only things that are truly permanent are death and Sharpies.

I believe when you lower your expectations, you only increase your chances xD

Why? He's apparently fine with it. 

 

"“I destroyed Jaros’ record,” Daugherty grinned. “I would have been more upset if I’d shot 260 and lost. I really wasn’t nervous. I just threw the wrong ball and made some bad shots. Once I was down 50 pins and threw another split, I was just trying to get out of Mika’s way.
“But I still had the most fun I’ve ever had in my life this week, including today. I’d rather shoot 100 today than earlier in the week. I made $500 a pin today. That’s more than Mika made, pin for pin.” 


Not suprising, but if you want funny, you should see him get verbally decimated by Jason Couch.

Was really great watching some stupid band on the show instead of something bowling related.  They will

never get a clue.

Any one in the SEC likely didn't because of college basketball. Wasn't listed on ABC. Says local programing. Im sure many ABC affiliates have contracts for basketball with different schools or conferences.

 

Maybe we should try a brief roll call on where it was or wasn't on TV at?

The band was "Bowling for Soup". They actaully have had several hits. Not music I am familiar with, but my kids have heard of them. All I know is they are from Texas and they were debuting their new single and promoting their new album. I am sure that the PBA got some cash for them being on the show or would think so. Just promoting to a younger audience I imagine.

 

You know if bowling for a shot at 250K and first time on TV was not bad enough. Mika did just what he should. Jump on Tom fast. I can think of one muscle that was probably just a bit tight by the third frame..plus every other muscle in the body. I imagine we will see him again sometime.

Bottom line, you have to change balls or change lines. I didn't see that in this situation. It looked like a replay of the same shot over and over!

Bowling wasnt on ABC in my neck of the woods college basketball was... another channel showed it though. I think it was a local channel that showed it.

Just remember guys, no matter how bad you bowl in league (as long as you're over 100) you can always say: "At least I didn't pull a Daugherty."

 

"Like DiMaggio is to baseball, that's what Daugherty will be to bowling." 

 

"I'd just as sure get Daugherty'ed out here in the middle of nowhere."  "You know, like be up a creek without a paddle, have the world in the palm of your hands and blow it."

 

:)  Just kidding....but no seriously, it will be said a lot.  $50,000 to bowl a 100 game.  I'd do it every time I had the chance. 


Ahhh Disco Biscuits!

His 100 made me feel sorry for the PBA.  Now half the house hacks in the country will be saying they could beat the PBA guys.  But then they were probably saying that anyway.

I think a 'house hack' got whacked yesterday, all this talk of we'll see him again and how good he is I decided to do some research: Tom is a talented Regional player- however 4 wins in ten years does not qualify you as a 'beast' in the region.  Speaking of regionals I have bowled in 1 and attended many, 95% are house hacks with inflated egos and pricey equipment.  You may ask how I did I averaged 190 for 8 games, missed the cut by 65 pins.  In answer to other blasts I am a Med-High rev player with average speed, how my rev rate/speed with a bowling ball compares to my knowledge of bowling I do not know. 

 

I am willing to bet this guy disappears as fast as he appeared.
