Will Duke make the tour next year?
« on: February 21, 2008, 02:20:39 AM »
I was wondering if Norm will make the tour next year.  That is assuming he does not win a before the end of the season.  He is 51st in points now.  What is the cut off for next year tour?  It was 40 something last year.

Wow, all of the Duke nay sayers.  The guy has an injury bug & people are writing him off?  Mustn't be paying attention.  The guy can flat out bowl.  He's long from being done, my goodness.  He only turns 44 next month, for pete's sake.  He will be on TV against WRW this Sunday.  Don't plan his retirement party for a long time.

On edit: Fixed to "will be" instead of might be.

I think he's safe for a couple years now.

I 100% believe he will make the cut line. He's too good and I will also say he's been bowling his best of his entire career since 1994. The injuries have ruined what should be domination. He would have easily by far won POY last season if it wasn't for the injuries. He would be at the top of the point list if it wasn't for the injuries this season.


How can you say that?  He isn't bowling well this year at all.  Maybe it is due to the injuries, but with the way Barnes and WRW are bowling, you can't say he would be at the top of the points.

Norm was a great bowler, and might still be, but I think time, and partying have caught up with him.


feh! You just have not been watching him the past 2 years. If it weren't for the injuries, he'd be in the top 3 easily! Watch closer next time.

I watch every show, and he hasn't bowled worth a crap this year till this week.

Last year he has a pretty good year, but hasn't been a top guy on tour for the last 4 years or so.
