Taiwan Baby!!

After months of being ignored, it’s finally time to get out of Illinois and back on the road. Once I shake off all the dust from being locked in the back of Sarah’s closet, I’ll be traveling to Taiwan for the Amway Cup!

This will be my first trip out of the country, so needless to say I’m pretty excited. I know a few of my friends from the WPBA will be heading to Taipei as well, so I won’t get too lonely while Sarah is busy kicking ass.

The real reason I want to go though is to check out the Formosan Mountain Dogs.

These dogs are all from Taiwan and they have these totally wicked black tongues. I probably won’t see one since they’re really rare, but you never know. After Taiwan, Sarah and I will be flying over to San Diego for the first event of the 2010 WPBA season, the San Diego Classic, then we’ll be off to Philly for the Super Billiards Expo.

Pics from the 2009 San Diego Classic

Leave it to Debbie to find a way to get a bunch of super sweet pictures even though there was a bit of a “no cameras allowed” rule in the casino. Before we get to the pictures though, I wanted to give a shout out to Monica for kicking ass and winning her second straight title. That trophy’s almost as big as she is!

Once again, Debbie was able to get all sorts of awesome pictures with the WPBA gals and the fans. Naturally, she got lots of pictures with my favorite little buddy Sarah Rousey (who seemed to need some help keeping her eyes open for pictures).

And of course, she got lots of pictures with our pals Monica Webb, Melissa Herndon, Ming Ng, Jennifer Barretta, Jasmin Ouschan, Mitch and Ewa and lots of others.

For all the pictures, just bounce over to our Facebook page or check out the photostream on Flickr.

Back in Atlanta

Well, the tall lady and I are back in Atlanta after a tough tournament. One come from behind win and then two hill-hill losses made for a very grumpy Debbie. Plus, the casino was all strict and stuff about taking pictures, so there weren’t nearly as many pictures as we normally get. For some reason, pretty much the only place to take pictures was by the bathroom and no one really wanted to get their picture taken there.

At any rate, word has it that our girl will be making her ESPN debut next month, as she was invited to do a few player on player interviews. Needless to say, if they get on the air you can be sure that we’ll put them up on the blog.

WPBA San Diego Classic – Schjodt Watch Match #2

Frank T. Dawg — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 17:17:19 +0000

Ah Debbie, she’s all about making things exciting. In her first match, she came back from 6-1 to win 8 straight racks and take her opening round match 9-6, but in her second match she wasn’t quite so fortunate. Debbie found herself matched up against Melissa Herndon and ended up losing a 9-8 hill-hill heartbreaker.

Next up for the tall one is the winner of the Morgan Steinman/Rachael Abbink match. Looking ahead, if Debbie is able to win her third match, she’ll be matched up against Liz Ford, Dawn Hopkins or Ming Ng. The winner of that match will then go up against the loser of the Jennifer Chen/Jeanette Lee match to get to the redraw. Debbie plays at 3:15 PST today so come to the live stream and cheer her on.

San Diego Classic Baby!

Good morning from Cali everyone! Debbie Schjodt and I are here in Alpine, California chillin’ and doing some pre-match prep work waiting for the tall lady’s first match.

This morning, Debbie goes up against Rachel Eliazar who finished #3 in my buddy Cici Strain’s Tiger Pool Tour back in 2008. The winner of her match will go on to face the winner of the Melissa Herndon/Stephanie Mitchell match. It seems like forever ago when I last got to hang out with all my WPBA friends, so needless to say, I’m pretty excited to be back on tour.

In other matches we’re watchin, our little buddy Sarah Rousey is matched up against Suzanne Smith and my new friend Cristina De La Garza will be playing Ga Young Kim.

Back later with some results.
