We had a meet the pro's thing at nesbits lanes in aug, 2007 it was great, Duke, Learn, and Chugs were all there its was a blast. Norm has a great personality, ture class there man. He helped me with my game, with my approach and a few other issues i was having trouble with. It was well worth the money I hope they schedule them back again this year. Iv been waiting for duke to make tv this year i hope he does well in the second round of 64.

damn....made it to game 7 vs PA and lost it. I really wanted him on the show this week, and want anyone else but PA to be on. Oh wait.....Traber might make the show. Don't know which one is worse.....

As disappointing as it is for Duke to lose, it could be entertaining to see Traber on the Shark.  I wanna see how he manages to play straight up the 4 board like he does on every single other oil pattern ever.

Traber was not playing up the 4 board at all today.  Tonight he was playing 10 - 12.  You should have seen his first frame of game 5.  He leaves a split and it sure looked like he had it covered.  Pin bounces and stands as an offspot 10 pin for an 8 1.  Traber had turned around and never saw it.  Wollenbecker was sitting in the seating area on the next pair looking away, so he never saw it either.  To be honest we saw it and couldn't believe we saw what we did.

As for Duke, he had the round of 32 go to 7 also.  The 7th of that round he looked like the old Duke.  He was animated and playing to the crowd.  It didn't hurt he had a spare and string of 9 strikes .  Tonight he and PA definitely "Duked" it out

You know, while I was being facetious, I honestly would NOT have been surprised if you told me he was playing up 4.
