Update on Mush are Gold
« on: July 10, 2006, 07:43:51 AM »
Not sure anyone cares but Jeff Mop is giving updates.

Update1:
quote:

If you want to read an ACTUAL report, I'm sitting here at Boca Bowl where Mushtare is actually bowling his first round (no, he didn't prebowl). His first game started off with a strike, then he went Big 4, missed them all (one of the corners was out, so it was 7-), then he flagged the headpin left leaving the 1-3-6 and chopped the headpin clean off. At this point, he had 32 in the third. He did make a nice comeback, though, going triple, then spare strike spare strike the rest of the game for 191.

I didn't see most of the second game, but I did see a runaway brooklyn where he left a 5-pin. He also finished the game X 7/ S8- XXX for 200 on the dot. He is now -9 after 2.

The pattern in this center is a 35 foot pattern. The breakpoint is out near 5, so bowlers are either playing up the gutter or freewheeling it. Mushtare is freewheeling it, but the lanes will start carrying down soon, so he will get some push in the middle, but it might come at the expense of bringing the ball back from the outsides. We'll see what happens.


The kid actually doesn't throw the ball half bad. He definitely throws it better than on that video clip from the news report we all saw. Still, he grabs and hits up on the ball a TON. His accuracy needs lots of work as well, partly because of how much he grabs it at the bottom.

There is a news crew here following him around. Rumor has it it's ESPN, but it could be a local crew. I can't tell.

I will update as the squad goes on

Lanes changing fast - started off the third game gutter spare, washout, 2-10 for 34 in the third.
well, he finished that game off for 166. For what it's worth, someone about 5 pairs left of him just went front 10 in a row for 287.

Update3:

i will try to find out who shot the 287, and no, it wasn't prebowled lol I witnessed it.

Mushtare update: after leaving the 3-6-9-10 in the 9th frame and flagging all 4 pins into the right gutter, he now has 110 in the ninth frame.

This has to be the exact thing Mushtare didn't want to happen, and likely the exact thing everyone else wanted to happen.

I hear there is a camera crew there from ESPN following his bowling and the controversy over the 900s. I am sure that isnt helping his cause one bit! This is a horrible thing for him!! Poor Kid, wait what am I saying.. HE BROUGHT it on himself!! HAHA

Sounds like he isn't adjusting well to even oil pattern creating the slick outsides, if he's flagging the 3-6-9-10 into the gutter....

I have to admit I feel bad for him...but we'll see what happens.

It shall be interesting to see how LuckyLefty defends him on this one .  We all saw this coming.  I dont think there are too many people there who did not want to see him fall on his face.  He asked for this.  I dont feel sorry for him.

I already know LL will go back to refering how his skills are for house shots and blah blah, I have A LOT of respect for lucky don't get me wrong, but honestly our idols and best bowlers are the ones who throw the numbers on PBA and sport stuff, not 10-15 board area house shots. If he's good enough to throw 900s, for his sake he better at least average 185 on something tougher.

I wonder what really goes through Robby's mind when he is in front of alot of people and he cant hit the broad side of a barn (Do they have barns in NY?).  Do you think he gets anybody heckling him while he is bowling?  I can hear it now, "900 means you actually have to throw strikes.  I bet you did not shoot 900 for 4 games."  What a shame.

That would be the greatest!!! I mean what is he at about 687 for 4 right now?! Hmm my guess is he ends at about 1025-1050 for the block.. -170 or so thats great for a guy who is the only person to shoot 2 900s right?!?!?!

Joe, are you heading down/up to watch at all this week?  
I was gona try to make it down to watch some of my former teammates, but this being my final week of school I have too much to do by friday.  

You missed out on the loschetter reunion, alot of fun this past weekend.  Kind of a wide variety of years there, oldest guy was 28 I believe and the youngest I think 20.  44 entries, pattern E, and Loschetter wins of coarse, lol.  They're gona try to have it every summer so entries should definetly get higher as more people hear about it.

I would be very interested to hear how big of a crowd was watching him, especially at the beginning of the block.
