🙏 Thank you sincerely for uploading this piece of history and sharing it for the whole to see - I still cannot believe how lucky I am to see all these videos ... One after another for free whenever time permits 🙏 I remember in the late 90's & Early 2000's when my friends and I would would buy different ACCU-STAT tapes and we would trade and share with each other around Central Florida 🙏 ... 💔😢💔 I have one very tragic and heartbreaking story that I could share that goes along with this theme yet I will not go into specific detail here ... All I will say is I was friends with the owner of a pool hall and he had a Son and my Mirror Image Identical Twin Brother and I would go over to his house and his Son would let us borrow some of his Accu-Stat tapes ... Well that Son who was quite young at that time is in Prison for life now and has been there for approximately 20 years now over something he did that was tragically life altering in many heartbreaking facets and negatively effected many lives 💔😭💔
2015 was truly a different era. isn't that scary? Shane has admitted that Earl was one of his biggest inspirations, which makes this classic match all the more special. Thanks for the upload!
SVB, one of my favorites, probably the GOAT, but Earl is the GOAT at making hard rack look easy, his stroke is so so so so smooth. The brain of his, not so much! ;)
@@jeffreyyoungblood7438 lol wasnt that good? LMAO Earl met so many legends including Efren, Bustamante, Nick Varner, Steve Mizerak etc lmaoo It's up to you how much you want to discredit Strickland, but until now no one touching his record only svb touch 5 us open
you arent though becuase u have all this tryhardness about you...stop being corny. insanity is real, u shouldnt mock the mentally disabled...@@chriscripplercruz1833
I feel bad for everyone here: Earl, the crowd and Accu-Stats. He literally treats them like a battered wife ... leaving them with little options except to feel abused and without options of how to act acceptably. Demanding praise ... only to (I'm assuming) make him feel embarrassed // humiliated for asking (or should). And for Earl..? Anyone who actually plays pool has to understand what he's feeling; that he can do nothing adequate to the challenge. He actually not only is the underdog ... but he does get some bad rolls. All around an unhappy experience. I also understand the people who'll feel no sympathy for Earl. All around a sad experience. Obviously, not everything he thinks of as a bad roll or bad luck actually is. Much if it is just good play by SVB ... some (not all however) caused by his inadequate break. But, when balls line up to a dead 10-ball combo? For all the angles that exist..? One certainly can't call that a good roll. Or having ran out only to miss the 10 ... as each successive shot gets increasingly more difficult. No matter what though ... Earl just sucks all the possible joy out of an event Accu-Stats generously put on and INVITED Earl to ... out of the realm of possible. 😢
1:08:39 that cue ball was not going in the side! But Earl touched it so the foul was called, and the sorry thing about it is, maybe I'm wrong, but SVB would have been snookered! Or what?
I noticed that myself looked like it was gonna hit just short of the point i think it likely would've glanced off the 8 and tucked behind the ten maybe the 9 but definitely snookered Earl was frustrated and wanted this game to be over on another note one of the best matches shane has ever played
45:50 it should be whoever makes the last object ball that happens to be on the table wins the game, then Shane would have had to shoot the rest of the balls after making the easy combo on the 10 ball.
Don't really like how Earl seemingly keeps complaining about his own shots. It's like, dude, you're the one doing it. :) Ok, edit: NGL, Earl had some pretty epic bad luck in this.
these announcers are so bad. its like sitting across from grandpa while eating dinner and he takes his dentures out and starts telling a stroy about the war =s
