I began on a new bowling team for the fall...and we should be wearing SBG shirts because, ironically, we are all SLY!!!
-
That's cool! I coach my sons' baseball team and the last three seasons, every coach except one has been Sly. Have to set an example for the young ones! ;D
-
That's neat on more than one level.
-
gives a whole new meaning to "going bowling" just don't confuse a person leaning over tying there shoes for your ball. :*))
-
One week all of you guys should paint three "holes" on your heads!!!!!!
-
You need to get pics of all of you together!

That's awesome! I guess that would be the opposite of being a pinhead, huh?

Do they still have those bowling ball cleaners/shining machines in the bowling alleys.

Well, 4 out of 5 of us are SLY now...
Last week I wore one of my SBG shirts to see if they all wanted to get them and our "sponsor" provided us with T-Shirts(plain Culver's white shirts)...
Sucks, because the SBG shirt is way cooler and if we all got different colors...WOW!!!
-
Oh man, I haven't had a Butter Burger in 3 years and now I'm craving one.
But yeah, the SBG shirts would be cooler than a Culver's logo.

Our team is doing good, we've moved up each week from...
7th to 5th to 4th to 2nd place...and then we swept the series this past week!!!

UPDATE: SLY BOWLING TEAM REMAINS IN FIRST PLACE!!!
We took over the top spot last week and won again last night!!!
This week we all got our SBG Shirts(thanks for your help with that Tyler) and got a lot of comments on them. Before the series I tried to get a group picture, but nobody could seem to hold the camera still for the shot and they all came out blurry...so will try again next week.
We had lane difficulties that slowed the pace down, so we were about 5 frames behind the entire league last night...and it is obvious we are getting noticed, because the team we knocked to 2nd place stuck around to watch us.

ANOTHER UPDATE: SLY BOWLING TEAM'S SIX WEEK WINNING STREAK ENDS
...although it looks like we will still be in first place or worst case, share first place...
-
Good looking bunch of BALDIES - -Have fun - - -wish I lived closer
-
That's cool, you guys need to try and convince the one guy with hair to fit in.
-
I chose to sit out this past week (due to the passing of my mother) and we lost, BUT WE REMAIN IN FIRST PLACE as the team closest to us got swept...
We appreciate the support as this is the last week of the first 1/3 (basically 1 season is broken into 3) and we are in first place, but this last week is a MUST WIN to take the title of the first 1/3 of the season (and the money prize)!!!

Sorry about your mother buddy, I'll be praying for you and your family during this rough time. I'll also be praying for your bowling team, I hope you guys win O0

The link doesn't work for me, it's probably because I am on my phone though.

The first 1/3 of the season has ended and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
There was a lot of drama and some possible controversy leading into last night champsionship match...
We were only 1 point ahead in the standings and ironcially, we faced the team that was behind us by that point. You do the math...7 points total per match (2 per game, 1 for total pins)...so it was ours to lose or win!!!
Then the other team brought in a "ringer" with no handicap(didn't make sense since they already had 7 people on their roster) so it had to be established based off his bowling. After a hard fought battle with everyone on each side bowling above average...we lost. It didn't matter what the new guy got since we were already behind...
We had no choice at that time...so we smashed his knee caps.... :x!
Wait, no...we wanted to, but to claim the title...we had to win the last 2 games now. The next game we smashed them comfortably so even if the new guy was sandbagging(it looked like he was trying a little to do so) it didn't matter...
Then the last game started off bad...most of my team opening in the first...and we all opened in the 10th frame. Thankfully we all had streaks of strikes in the middle. It was close...and we thought we lost with the new guy's handicap...so we waited for the results to come in and...
...WE TOOK THE LAST GAME BY 1 PIN!!!
-
Congratulations buddy! O0
I'll be honest you built so much suspense with how you described how the games went.
You guys should make a deal with your teammates with hair, if you guys get first again he has to shave lol :P
-
After winning the first 1/3 of the season, all the standings are now reset and we started the second 1/3 this past week...
And we swept the first week and are on top of the rankings again....hopefully we can win it all again!!!
-
Good luck
-
Thanks BaldBradley for your support and everyone else's to...
Got some good news...and some bad news to report...
The bad news is that one of our SLY bowlers got moved to 2nd shift and 2 of others grew their hair out again...but everyone still sports their SBG shirts. Even last night a bald bowler on the other team said all bald bowlers need to report to lane 13(in a 12 lane alley)...and I let him know he really needs to get one of these shirts!!!
The good news is...week 2 of the second third done and we WON AGAIN!!! And we are going to STATE in April!!!
Please post your support...I brought my computer last night and the team enjoyed seeing all the posts!!!
-
Wow...we are sucking during the second third of the season. We've lost 3 weeks straight...even being swept once or twice. :'(
We lost a guy who decided to party and left us a guy short, but he was our "secret weapon" with a 95 handicap and was replaced with a guy with a 19 handicap... :o
Oh well...we will see this week...
-
I miss the old team, I moved away during the last part of the season...and apparently, the only non-SLY guy tried to take over and really created a bad vibe for the team. They have contacted me numerous times to see if I could "make the trip back" to bowl with them.
Anyway, at least we never did this...

(and everyone loved their SBG Shirts, Thanks again Tyler)

As a bowler myself, I've experienced that myself more times than I care to count on bad approaches...I really feel for the guy because it was on TV....
