where are you located in relation to Medina?
P.S. If you have never been to Brian's place It's a great place for
tournament's I would recomend it to anyone. He does a good job running the
event's and even supplies a local pro (crissy buck) to play against, that
you up and coming rookie's can beat on a consistent basis to build your
confidence for the world's. Now you can't beat that.

If you will put up $100.00 to my $100.00 I will play Buck or Eric...
Pat Myers
Columbus, Ohio
Tell you what...in order to get your best playing ability, lets just you and I
put the $100.00, Bryan matches $100.00...otherwise you will be tired from
pounding Deadman Pullshots on Buck for a 1/2 hour, and I would want your best
:)
Or, I will play the winner, whichever...I just know that $100.00 gamble to win
$300.00 is better odds than I get in Vegas...Hell, I think I have a better
chance at beating either of you, than I do "the house" in Vegas...

Chris Buck and very other players in Ohio will tell you I am weak...I am used
to it!
No matter how well I play, I am always considered weak...:)

Brian Tankersly has a 2nd child on the way. He probably won't be able to play
for awhile. Alan Hopkins doesn't play all that musch anymore. Ha has come to a
BYP or 2 in the past year, but he is a rarity these days. Shame too. He is a
good player.
There are also many other players better than Buck. While he is a tough player
at times, he is a little inconsistent with his game. I can't believe no one has
mentioned Keith Mauer. Probably one of Ohio's best.
Ronnie Garrett
Lets Foos!
Tell Brian, Beth, and Alan, Eric Trombley from MI said hello, and
congrat's on the kid's. Those guy's have heart and game. Buck just talk's
alot of shit trying to take u out of your game while he hack's and beg's for
point's. No heart no game and very inconsistint. He might slop me out a
game here or there, but there's not enough talent there to keep it going
over the long haul unless someone's carrying his fat ass. And dont get me
wrong Chris u know I like you as a person, and we had a little fun here
recently trashtalken on the i-net, but do u really think you could beat me
10 out of 19 game's???????? And how many cell phone's do u have to sell to
make a hundred $$?????

Again I am overlooked in the Columbus area, hell the last time we had a point
contest in Columbus, I won it :)
How about Vince Rameriz, anyone know him???
Pat Myers
Columbus, Ohio
Even retired Frankie Garbouglio is #3 on that list...he could practice for one
weekend, and pound everyone on the lsit excpet Todd and Steve
Anyone remember Frankie?? Anyone see him play in the early 80's?
Pat Myers
Columbus, Ohio
You list yourself and Terra before Beine???
Bring on the wagers for future tournaments, becuase your not close...

Does this make me one of the ten best players in OH since I have put Kenny
Phipps out in the last 3 outings I have faced him? ;-)
On the serious side, I also think Greg Pullium should be moved WAY up on the
list. I do believe he is rated Pro on tour and he is a great player. Also I
think his partner Randy Secrest should be on the list (Pro from Dayton).
I also noticed no players from Kentucky are not listed here. I know that you
are keeping to the Northeast, but Lexington and Lousiville are fairly close to
Cincy and honestly should be included. I think Danny Casey (Pro Master) would
slaughter some of the players mentioned on the list above with the exception of
Todd and Steve.
But honestly, I don't really think you could have a top ten in this area as any
of these players can win at any given time.
Ronnie Garrett
Lets Foos!
:) no probz hahaha no offense to beine or n e thing but.. he is the promaster
that loses to all the rookiez in turnyz i mean sush low rated beat him
sometimez i dun even know how but... n e wayz money games no probz buh the way
i will ask danny if he will play beine and todd i think he will 4 monz aint
nothing but a thing
Since you include MASS you should include Philbrook, and RI....ME!
Just for the record I can beat any player on the list. Any player on the
list could probably beat me. But let's get real here. Todd is not only the
best in Ohio, he is the best EVER. Yes better than Terry, and Frederico.
Does he win the most right now? No. Is he the most consistent right now?
Again no. I do think if Todd were substantially motivated he would be both.
The rest of the list:
I have played or seen all of the players on Buck's list, and Billy's list.
After Todd, Beine is definitely the best. Frank Garbuglio would have to be
on any top 10 list in the Northeast. I saw that guy play when he was
touring and he was good! Also, if we include retired players or
semi-retired players we have to include Tim Alberts (Fuji). Although his
game was not always pretty, he always a way to kill you, and he was a
monster in singles. Another great player that has not been mentioned is
Nino DiJohn from Albany. In the late eighties and early nineties Nino, and
Fuji were the two players that dominated tournaments in the Northeast.
Frank Garbuglio, and Steve Beine, were the only other Northeast players that
threatened them.
To accurately put together a top 10 list is impossible. Of the names
mentioned there are very few that I would not think that I stood a better
chance against than they stood against me. And yes I will lay money on it.

Billy are you trying to become buck junior? you guys talk alot of crap
... Buck get your crack pipe from billy and put it away lmfao the
more you guys talk the easier it gets
"Keith Maurer hasn't beaten me in YEARS, in singles, not even in pick-up
games!"
I did play you once in a pick up game in Atlanta and you did beat me there
but at least the last 5 times I can remember us playing singles in pick up
games I won them all but the one in Atlanta.
and to the best of my recollection you have never beaten me in singles in a
tourney, now remember that I haven't played you in competition singles in
years (I quit playing singles a few years ago) and you have defiantly
improved a good bit in that time.
I have also seen you post that you have never been double dipped.
I at least know that is also an untruth as Dusty and I have DD you once, not
in a huge tourney but for a few hundred dollars.
Now as to where you are ranking everyone, it means nothing, all that matters
is results.
Keith Maurer
P.S. To Ronnie Garrett and Eric Trombley I would like to thank you for the
compliments and to say that you both have extremely good games :)
Hey Keith, welcome to the newsgroup!
I thought you played league singles in Vegas and did pretty good?
I can attest to your doubles play being good! We certainly won our
share of pick up games in Vegas.
BTW are you going to the Buffalo tournament at the end of the month,
it should be good fun?
Merv Buske
A very good player.. but he will be the first to admit that he hates
"RAAAAAGS" in singles... I would play with Keith over ANY player out
there because he a total class act and has never been one to talk down to
anyone I've ever known. Here's to Keith... one of the best people I've
met on tour.
Chris
Good post Factory. I'm in total agreement. How's it going up there in
Canada? Sorry we did not get a chance to talk more at Nationals. You have
some good skills, and natural ability. Hopefully we can talk some more at
the next one. When is the next one you will be attending?

Well... I was hoping to go to Buffalo on July 27, 28.. but I don't think
that's going to happen as I am moving into a new place that weekend.
It's a shame, cause I was hoping to see some people there that I didn't
get to see in ATL.. like Gary Johnston and Danny Terra (I don't really
know him, I just like watching his game...)
Most likely, the next tour event I will be in is Vegas in March... but
that's just cause I'm going back to school. But hey.. at least the Vegas
trip will be free...well.. assuming Merv does the smart thing :)
It is a shame you didn't show me more about zones while we were down
there, but after watching Louis play Terry, I've tried adopting his
zone.. I'm still working a few kinks out of it, but I'm sure... almost
POSITIVE that if I had used it in any event really, it would have led to
at least one more win in each.
Hope to see you sooner than later..
Chris
i played a dyp with him in columbus about 5 years ago, he got drunk as hell and
we still won winners bracket. his pull shot reminded alot like loffredo's. all
of his passes were quick and hard, total domination.
couch
I have a proposition for Chris Buck:
I will put $20 on Keith at the next tournament that all three of us attend
in a 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 5 (you two decide). This is provided Keith is
ok with this. I agree with Keith that Chris has improved over the last few
years, but I would have to give the nod to Keith in overall foosball skills.

Yeah I played singles in the league in Vegas but I someone signed me up to
play I didnt want to.
I may have done ok but it was mostly luck. The reason I havnt played in
singles in such a long time is it frustrates me so much that I quit trying
or forfet out tho it seams I still win without trying sometimes.
I also played in 3 singles events the last time i went to KY (a few months
ago) another one where someone signed me up:) I forfeited out of them all,
although I won every match. hehe
Not sure about Buffalo yet have to see what my Partner Dusty thinks.
Keith Maurer
hey r u going to ky i was just wondering
Are you going?

e more here in mass so.. i was wondering if u were driving?? i think im suppose
to go with philbrook but no one ever keeps in contact n e more but ill ask
around mayb danny or something well lata
Let me know when the next Youngstown tourney is and I'll take you up on that.
Sorry you won't be going to KY State, it would be nice to see you after, what
15 years or more. I might be making some trips to Columbus before Worlds to
play against Beine and Swan, maybe we can hook up then.
Michael Blevins
Dayton, OH
I'm going to fly. Unlike you, I'm too old to drive that far and be able to
play. Is Danny going?

i guess im counting in philbrook to go well lata
Chris "Da Man" Buck
If you can get incontact with Philbrook for me that'd be a big help.
I don't think I'll be making KY this time around...can't find a cheap enough
flight.
I told him I'd play with him in Expert Doubles if I went but, it doesn't look
good.
Anyways...talk to ya later,
Brandon
LOL...yeah its ``Passin Keith``
Very good player on and off the table...have never heard a bad thing come out
of his mouth...either winning or losing...a class act!!!!!
Even though he does win alot up north!!!
Hope to get your game on the table in Ky.
``Cheatin`` Wes Thompson
P.S. Kevin....you need work on that weak
``Alien`` shot of yours.......can`t even score that on a weak rookie that
does`nt even play goalie
You are right Wes. Apparently my alien is not good enough to score on you.
Good thing ALL my other shots are! :-)
See you in KY Wes. I try to work on that alien in the mean time. LOL
Kevin Skaltsis
Thats a shame,he taught me how to shoot a pull shot!In the day
,frankie was a bad man.I saw him and Rick miller get chased by a guy
with a gun in a tourney in Indy! Anybody remember sahbi sahbkin? He
was crazy! Frank blasted a long pull on him and the guy freaked out!
Does he play anymore at all?

Scott,
That was funny (after it was all over) people were hitting the deck all over,
diving under foosball tables, pool tables and hitting every exit in sight. If
you remember he chased Frank all the way around the building, and it was a big
building. That happened at Good Time Charlies in Indy. That was a great place
to play. He ended up beating Frank & Ko, then I had to play him in the finals.
I first met Sahbi at a tournament in Dayton in 77'. He always snapped like
that, although that was the first time I actually saw him get his gun.. I asked
Beine a few months ago if he was still around, and he thought Sahbi had gone
back to Sieria.
Ahh, the good old days.
Are you going to be at Ky State? Since it is in your home town. I plan on
getting in early friday evening. Hope to see you there.

Steve Tellas
r u and the boyz going to ky i just wanted to know. well if not see u guyz at

Yep the one and only :)
so what is your next tourny?
Keith
I do not believe my Asian Posse or myself will be attending Kentucky and I will
not be going to Worlds due to prior commitment with my Children. The only sad
thing about not attending Worlds would not seeing Dave G playing for the last
time!!
My next Tourny will be Texas State with Trevor and then going to Vegas and off
to Foosball Retirement!
Good luck at Worlds Billy Boy!
NOW GO TO SLEEP OR YOU WILL BE PUT IN A TIMEOUT!
