Billiards Supplies Tips and Info.

You will find some posts in the recent history of this blog which are off of the pool and billiards topic. These were put here because of some new software that submits to blogs on auto pilot. This software is being used in our online marketing efforts for several different products and services.

I am doing my best to find and remove these off topic posts. For now I may set up an off pool and billiards topic category, where we can discuss anything we please.

Sorry for mixing our marketing posts in with the billiards information.

Billiards Match. Nine Ball Pool league comes to an end for this season.

Sunday, September 21st was the final 3 for the Pueblo Colorado Pool / Billiards league 9 ball. The matches started at noon where Diamond Jims who came through the one loss side played the Big Daddy team. This was a close match all the way with the score being tied 14 to 14 in this first to win 18 games match.

Diamond Jim’s pulled out the win in the end with a score of 18 to 15.

The next match was Diamond Jim’s VS. The Buffalo Tavern. The first match went to Diamond Jim’s with a score of 18 to 7. Because The Buffalo defeated Diamond Jim’s in the semi finals, there had to be one more match for the championship.

Classic Billiards on ESPN. Have you been watching?

I am writing this post on my lap top as I watch two legends of Pocket Billiards battle it out. Willie Mosconi (my personal pool playing hero) is playing Cowboy Jimmy Moore. I’m not sure when the match was played but the guide from Dish Network states the original air date of 2004.

They are playing on a 9 foot Brunswick Gold Crown Pool Table and I believe the tournament is in Atlantic City. Jimmy Moore was 71 years old and Willie Mosconi 68 at the time of this match. Both players could still run the balls even in their old age. (I met Willie in Denver back in 1989. I was 21 and he blew my mind.) I love Classic Billiards.
Willie Mosconi a 15 time world champion (Yeah Fifteen Time Champion) shined like the true star that he was. In the interview after the match, Allen Hopkins asked Willie, “Now that you are in the finals do you think you will win the tournament?” Willie replied, “Allen I didn’t think I had a chance. you know I’m not a 9 ball player.”
