[tccstudent]

Ok I talked to the sports book at Ceasers in Vegas they are working on getting the odds together for some action

[Mudpuppy]

Thanks for starting. Good stuff.

[bowl1820]

You forgot one option:
The one that doesn't show up.


That would make a good poll also,

Who will have the best excuse for not being there?

along with , Who will have the lamest excuse for why they lost?

and a Pool on who the first one is that will say something wasn't fair if they do bowl.


:):)

[MICHAEL]

Is this going to be televised on ESPN Ocho right after the dodgeball tourney?

Will there be an HBO special showing the preparation and moments leading up to this epic match?

[tccstudent]

No I think Ocho Is having a special on how Lance Armstrong influenced the dodgeball championships

[Hampe]

I'm putting it on Money Mike! :D

[vdubtx]

No way, no how does Mr. Lofty beat Mike White.

[mc_runner]

It's handicapped right? Aslan did pretty well in his first tournament, I'm thinking he might pull it off with the pin difference!

[MICHAEL]

What do we have to do Give a FREE bowling ball for each vote??? This is exactly what's wrong with this country today! Apathy....!! You have this gift to make your presence known, this is AMERICA,,,, VOTE people, every chance you get, for no matter what the reason!

In many countries they would give their eye tooth to be able to vote on something like this!! I am beginning to lose faith in this once proud voting country!!

Now the only thing people vote on are things like American Idle!! (:),,,, yes IDLE!! wasting you time watching Reality Dumb you down shows,,, like the Duck brothers, or what ever its called.

Be a proud American, and Take this Opportunity to be a part of democracy! Vote! I want at least 100 votes!

Show Aslan, the Z guy, and Mike White that you CARE!!

[circlecity]

Handicap? So this is just a friendly meet and greet bowling thing.

I refuse to vote in this poll because poll results in this case mean nothing. If everyone votes against Aslan, will his ego be crushed like an eggshell leaving him unable to break 100? I doubt it. If Mike gets most of the votes, will his head swell causing him to throw every shot off balance and lose? No. Sorry Zdawg, I'm out of ideas for what the poll results would do to you.

Besides, I'm not sure who I'm going to root for.

I'd say go with Zdawg.

Aslan will go out there all excited and try too hard.

Mike (who you would think should win) will figure it's a easy win and might slack off at the start.

Zdawg will figure he can beat aslan and will do his best to try and beat mike.

Shhhh, I'm going for the underdog thing here ;)

[Mudpuppy]

And now bowl1820 threw off the vegas odds completely

[Aslan]

Zdawg will figure he can beat aslan and will do his best to try and beat mike.

I voted zDawg. He's getting over 20 pins handicap from me and about 50 from Mike. Think about that...he and I are both "beginner bowlers" and I'm giving him the same pins that Mike (a bowler of 35+ years) is giving me. He claims he's bowling like **** (poo) right now....but nothing like a tournament in front of the bright lights to "snap out of the funk". I see zDawg bowling about a 500. With handicap, that puts him at 650.

I was tempted to vote MWhite because he's hands down the better bowler and will be able to adapt the quickest to the non-home lane conditions. I think thats his real advantage...it'll take zDawg and myself at least 1 game to get dialed in (unless we get lucky)...shouldn't take Mike more than warm-ups to figure out how to play the lanes. At a 200 average, I'd say me and/or zdawg would have the edge....but closer to 190 I don't think I have a chance. Mike can bowl 510 blindfolded so there's no way zDawg or I can beat him scratch. I think he finishes at about 630-640 which should give him a close 2nd to zDawg.

I'm only getting 26 pins and my average on synthetic lanes is between 138-153. I see me finishing in the 470-500 range. With handicap, that puts me around 550-570. To put it in perspective, using my Pinpal app, if I take the 3 BEST games I've EVER bowled on synthetic lanes (since I've had the app)....out of 21 games...I'd bowl a 211-202-202. Thats a 615 with handicap puts me at 693. Mike bowls just one 250+ game or ZDawg bowls just one 200+ game and I think they top that...and that's my EXTREME top end on synthetics.

But....as Herm Edwards once so eliquently stated, "Thats why you play the game!" Actually, I think he said, "You play to WIN the game!"....but it's closer than the 2nd place quote of "They are who we TOUGHT they were!!" by Dennis Green. I'll reserve that quote for after Mike whoops us, then yells "Who do you think you are I AM!", then I can say, "Mike is who we THOUGHT he is!!"

[circlecity]

I voted Mike but now thinking about it with the handicap I would pick one of the other 2.
