Jim, I read, and re-read your posts, and I didn't really get the gist you were going to donate a $200 pot to bring out players.

It kinda read like you wanted Team USA to give up some of their donations for a pot.

Jim,
I want to apologize for you feeling offended that you did not receive a response personally by me to your request for a partner. I am sorry, it was an honest faux pas as I did not think to reply that most likely I will not be playing at all due to other obligations while also being of assistance at said tournament. It was not an intentional slight toward you as a person/potential sponsor.

P.S. I normally would have apologized to you privately, however, you expressed your concerns publically, therefore, warranting a public reply.

P.S.S. A reminder to other potential sponsors who also don't have partners lined up but want to participate, as indicated on the flier, there will be opportunities like Open Singles, One Ball, and if time allowed, a four on four event with teams historically put together last minute.

Noted!

I think some people in here need to eat a Snickers.

An eye for an eye, that's what dad says.

Roger, I think you should play with Jim for this great cause.

I'm pretty sure we all know who I'm partnering up with this week.

Does USA MEAN nothing to people anymore?

Myself and BJ were in the finals against Tony Bacon and his partner at Colorado State, for the right to go to the World Championships, we lost.

That would be even better than winning world championships in my opinion.

But to see that people really don't like to support Team USA, is a bit dissapointing.

Sure they get to travel to a European Country. There's jet lag, dealing with language barriers and a host of other obstacles they have to deal with.
When your there your representing not just yourself, but a Country.
It does mean something to these Men and Women to go to the World Cup!!

So yes I ask if there gonna be there and yes I give them a bit of ribbing cause there not at the local tourneys.
But every one of them that represents the USA!!

LOVES the USA, I believe anyway.

So if you don't like the US with all of its Freedom, THEN PLEASE. FEEL FREE TO GET THE F_ _ _
OUT!!!!!


OH AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

If I lived over there I would come support all of you who are going.

It’s a vacation because you’re not working, and you’re taking time off to travel and do something you enjoy - That’s the definition of vacation! Lol

If you guys were serious about raising money, you’d do more than collecting 100% entry fees and baking. That’s like girl scouts sitting at the front of King Soopers. Lazy!

Look at all the skilled professionals we have at our disposal. Offer some sweet deals on home improvement projects and the proceeds go to charity. Mega bucks compared to $5 brownies.

Throw a poker tourney like they did for CO HOF.

Have one of the many awesome artists we have design a badass foos shirt, and sell it.

Throw a bowling tournament where everyone can have fun so the charity dollars is more of an entertainment expense.

Do a BBQ competition with a $20 buy in for pitmasters and $5 for everyone to eat and judge.

Have Joe Rhodes, Ryan Moore, Robbie, Todd, Tony etc sell their badassnes in OD for CO State (or other tour events) to the highest bidder, and proceeds go to Team USA. Megabucks. I know I would be down to bid $200 to play with a few of them in CO State...and I'm sure others would bid way more. But they would have to sacrifice one tourney's results for that.

When we were raising money for Ditto’s dad…I offered $50 per person for anyone who could help me move, and people did, and I was able to donate a lot.

Get creative.

Don’t just say “hey, give us your money over and over again so the same people can keep going to Europe.” That’s what is weak to me. If you guys want money – work for it. Give up something. It’s not like we’re donating to cancer or a real charity here….so yeah…there needs to be a little more on your side. If that’s pathetic…whatever.

Still love you!

Scott breaks it down. Yikes.

Okay everybody, a quick thank you to Traci, Roger, Scott, Boogie, Tommie, Shelly, etc.
I've received some texts or calls and have just been able to check the board during a busy work day that is still going on. I should be home in a half hour or so and will address some things then. Please stay tuned.
