How was the RI Tournament?

[philbauer]

My lovely wife couldn't get away from work until 5pm and the tournament was almost 2 hours away so we stayed home

Frank offered me a ride earlier today but the wife said no...wtf?

Who won the table?

[Bob Paradis]

RVJ won the table.

A lot of top guys showed up and some good novices. Rick Couto brought this 6'5" 280 pound beast that handed it to me on the table. He won the class and is now an open puller... ;D Harry Bean, Jr got revenge on me after that...2 and out for me...not my day. I HATE pulling supers. I've got to find a 220 class or cut to 198.

But, we pulled for a couple of hours after the tournament, making my 2 hour drive worth while.

[philbauer]

2 and out sucks a$$!!

Did Jerry Cadorette show up?

[Jeramie Towle]

I heard Bill Caldwell pulled real well in the 198's left. He is a natural 176lber. Sorry I missed this one.

[Tim Lewis]

I was close to going to this one but decided it was a little too much after traveling home yesterday. I do plan, however, on being at the CT tournament in January (one week after Philly)

[philbauer]

Tim "I have a private jet that I fly all by myself" Lewis will be in CT on Jan 16th!!

[Tim Lewis]

I'll be on winter break during that time in PA so they'll be no flying involved....lol.

Hmm..Maybe being a pilot isn't a bad idea...getting paid to travel
Actually it would just give me an excuse to keep going to school

[Ron Klemba]

I attended to try and win the terminator handle 198 left was most stack and I managed to pull off the win 2-1 in finals against Ermini. I had the opposite luck in the right 98s.
Also won a big basket of supplements for match of the day in a hard battle with a fierce legend Gabe Acardi.
Somehow squeeked top place in left heavies too. Fun day. Good peeps.
RVJ won right heavies easily, looking fit with his cute and happy baby daughter watching.

[Frank "The PREZ" Hirst]

Fun tournament, glad I went. Unless some pullers that didn't show because they heard rvj would be there.
I went just to pull him. Crazy? Maybe. He is on another level than anyone under 220 .
I have no problem taking 2nd

Good to see gabe back.
Klemba's left was on. Lucky I didn't enter though
Stilkey was in the house looking jacked
I was impressed the most by David Brein from ri

[Rob Vigeant Jr.]

Had a good time at the event
Venue was fun
Narragansette flowing on tap....................and the narragansette girl almost got my eyes jadded out by my girlfriend.

Good little event with some real quality pullers.
Ron felt wicked lefty........he proved that you need to take him very serious evey time regardless of weight advantage...........very impressive ........congrats on the win Ron.

was impressed with Bill Caldwell and Malcolm Tashjian ( my teammates )...both new but showed alot of power and promise.

David Brien looked real tough too.

Plus, I won the table, not much of a yankee fan so I opted for a new design..............it will be the tits to actually have a table to train with.

Thank you all involved, will see you at the next event

[Rick "Lummox" North]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the tournament! I had a blast running it, great people, awesome pullers and fun venue. Baileys Pub wants to do it again in a few months so I'll keep everyone posted. Did you like the t-shirt design??? I have a few left (Phil I have your 2X) so if anyone wants one let me know.

[Craig Brought]

Aww what didn't ya like the Yankee table Rob dang.....I guess I'll take it .Can't wait to see what Frank cooks up for you. I'm also excited to get my table. Congrats !!!

[Kurt Howgate]

No, but he pulled after...looked REAL strong against quality people.
