1980 Miller High Life Open 

As I re-watch these tournaments from the 70s and early 80s I am struck by how well Nelson Burton, Jr. did the color commentary. He and Schenkel were truly the Madden-Summerall of bowling.

I can barely stand to watch any other bowler than Mark Roth! God bless him with his current health issues.

Alvin Lou....what a unique guy. He was the hot bowler there for an extremely short time, then disappeared. Seemed like a super nice guy.

When bowling wasn't ashamed of what it was. I hate what the product has become.

and that was the last time any professional bowler ever left the 1-2-4-7 on national television. :)

I miss that the Professional Bowlers Tour would be on every Saturday then following would be ABC Wild World of Sports

I'm a big fan of mark Roth

It is not easy to try to win 3 games against your fellow pros. Thanks for posting this. There was nothing like Chirs and Nelson with the bowling on Saturdays and then going right to WWOS with the legend Jim McKay.

Alvin Lou was in the driver's seat to win the Miller High Life Open

Sadly this house is long gone :(

Roth bowled out of at least four different locations in his career.

Nelson Burton Jr. is so knowledgeable and has great skills. Why didn't he win more tournaments than Anthony or Roth?

never heard of Mr. Lou. Which is strange since hes bowling on my home lanes lol and he had already won a title

This would be Lou’s last championship match ever. He only made two more telecasts in his career.

I really want that sweep signage. How can I go about getting it

Mark Roth !!!

I just can’t watch any telecast that includes Tom Baker. That incessant finger tapping drives me insane!

the first match was exciting and very close

First match...Roth vs Danny Partridge

Did Alvin Lou ever make the top 24 again?

Ok..where's the commercials ,and more importantly, where's the ending??get it together mr bowling😒

Plastic balls on long oil...gotta love it

Make that 4 games.

Poor Moser...misses spare and loses match. Wifey not happy at all.

As a Junior and young adult, Alvin Lou always seemed to have a gorgeous girlfriend. As a grown man, things seem to have taken a very ugly turn.

Are you nuts Mark Bowron. Burton was the worst. He said the most stupid stuff.His tips were ridiculous.

Paul Moser had no luck at all on alleys 63&64.
