Fire Up That Tivo!
April 25th, 2008 by admin
If you’re a pool junkie, I’ve got a special treat. Well, by “I” I really mean ESPN Classic but hey, I’m the one who’s telling you about it, so that counts for something, right? So here’s the deal: It seems that ESPN Classic is finally living up to its name and will be running some classic matches from the 70s and 80s. You won’t see names like Allison Fisher or Jeanatte Lee there. What you will see is the likes of Minnesota Fats, Irving Crane, Willie Mosconi and Cowboy Jimmy Moore.
For the hardcore billiards fans, this is the equivalent to seeing Nickalus and Palmer in the final pairing Sunday at a Major, Johnny Mac screaming at a line judge in a match against Jimmy Connors or Sargent Slaughter punking out The Iron Sheik. If you’re a casual fan, check it out anyway. Here’s a partial list of what’s on tap. Keep in mind that all the times are EST.
