Believe it or not, we do have one (although the fucking school doesn't give us any funding, maybe you alumni could try to do something about that), I'm on it. Anyway, I just wanted to see if there are any current students on TWW that are bowlers and would like to join the team. One of our members transferred at the beginning of the semester and the guy we were gonna replace him with fucked us over and backed out, so we don't have a full team.

We are looking for people who will be committed and open-minded. We have practice on Tuesdays at 9:00pm (may get moved back to 8) and if we are able to get a full team we will add Thursday practices as well. I'm not sure how many tournaments we will be going to, but it will probably be at least 4, all on weekends, most likely out of state.

Feel free to contact me at cdnursey@ncsu.edu, or our coach, Irwyn Atkinson, at rollxproshop@yahoo.com.
Please no bullshit e-mails, this is completely serious.

What kind of averages are you looking for?

1/10/2007 11:00:04 PM

180+ would be ideal, but we'd be willing to take anyone who will work hard.

i bowled a 212 in the intramural finals a few years back


and i have the shirt to prove it

1/10/2007 11:21:54 PM

aha, well you do have the perfect handle

1/10/2007 11:24:24 PM

^^Do you still bowl?

1/10/2007 11:26:24 PM

I took the class and can bowl 160+ regularly for the once or twice a year i bowl.. im sure if i practiced more i could get it up to 180 or higher.. my highest bowl is 264.

Feel free to come practice with us, Buffaloe Lanes North, 5900 Oak Forest Rd. just off of Capital Blvd. Next practice is this coming Tuesday. Don't really even have to practice, just come watch, meet the guys, see what you think. If we're not practicing, we're hanging out in the pro shop at the low end of the house, waiting for the leagues to finish up so we can have lanes.

i bowled on the team a couple years back, def a good time. Went to tournaments all over the east coast so it was fun to travel

1/11/2007 10:49:49 AM

Why are you looking for people who are open-minded?

1/11/2007 11:06:21 AM

bowling's only fun when everyone is hopped up on performance enhancing drugs.

no offense meant, but do you feel like you deserve funding?

1/11/2007 11:39:19 AM

Let's recap real quick.

You're on the bowling team.

1/11/2007 12:17:56 PM

its not even a team... its like intramurals... its like asking to support club tennis

1/11/2007 12:22:25 PM

The stuff on the intramural website is not us. All that is is a bunch of people from State bowling against each other. We go to tournaments outside the state to bowl against other schools such as Florida State, LSU, Michigan State, NCA&T, Purdue, Penn State, etc. Those guys don't ever get outside of Cary.

Here's a link to the results of our most recent tournament http://www.bowl.com/college/tier1_nittany.aspx

First place got more than $1500.

Quote of the f'n YEAR. I'm calling it.

Anyway, I love bowling, but I can only bowl like a 120 average, and I've graduated already. Good luck this year though.

if you take your dates to play putt putt, it sounds like you dont go on too many dates either

^^Thanks man. I just wish we could get one person, even if they're only with us for the semester, just so that the rest of us don't have to waste a year of eligibility.

1/11/2007 4:22:02 PM

Well, there's someone that likes to bowl out there. Just keep spreading the word.

Lay off the bowling team guys. Either support them or don't but the hatin' isn't necessary.

1/13/2007 1:32:07 PM

i absolutely love bowling, but my average in my league days never got above 130. i would probably bring you guys down.

1/13/2007 1:45:12 PM

PM/Email sent. I'd be real intersted in this.

1/14/2007 12:52:31 PM
