All these old-school PBA videos are so pure ... right down to the ABC News bulletin interruption.

I remember watching this when I was 16 and working at a Brunswick bowling alley as a porter. I wish I still got 3 free games a day

Saw this live as an 8-year-old boy. Amazing tournament.

Yep, I was 10, and we watched and bowled then and now, and Norm is still out there killing it today! Legend.

Norm was simply unstoppable this tournament... And yet, to throw a 280 and lose the tournament.... Damn... Duke still holds the PBA record for the highest scoring losing game on TV from this show.

Forget the scoring records, Goebel was one strike away from an additional $200,000 for the perfect game. He had thrown 14 in a row counting back to the previous game before getting 6 pins.

Oh yeah I definitely feel for Goebel too, that shot was worth more than any ball in PBA history in terms of it all coming down to one frame.

@@cameronkiltau7799 They were trying to convince people to not go to Home Depot and Lowe's, plus had to pay out big bucks for 300 games, it's why you don't see big payouts for 300 games unless it's the title game. Even then it's only 10,000 and a fakeout for 100,000 or even a million. If the plague ever ends don't expect the PBA back.

@@pamelacass9642 I never could understand why bigger payouts were offered in the title match. Why should it matter what game it occurred in? I don't even bother wasting my time watching the PBA of today. Back then there were NO Home depots or Lowes (in NJ). There was Rickel/Channel. Were True Value locations franchised the way ACE is?

Wow! What a tournament this True Value stop in Peoria was. Duke lead by so much and Bryan Goebel had a great telecast. Was hoping he would collect the additional 200G by shooting 300. I was rooting for Norm Duke as always yet very good to see Goebel win. One of the best championship matches ever. "Bo" Burton provided the enthusiasm & insight as always 😀.

I enjoyed the commercials almost as much as the Bowling

Best championship match I've ever seen

Three words. WHAT A MATCH!!!

ORIGINAL AIR-DATE: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 26, 1994.

I’ve know Bryan a long time and he was even at my wedding in 2003, but Ive never personally asked him about that shot lol

Duke: I shot 280 in the title match Goebel: that’s cute

Bowlers today all too preoccupied with all these fancy core designs, a-symmetrical, computer aided etc etc. The title match here 300-279 with two reactive balls, one with a pancake weight block and the other with a simple bulb shaped core. Is there a lesson there for the modern game? I think so.

What about b-symmetrical bowling balls?

Used to watch Goebel at NKC Pro Bowl when he bowled the metro league back in my youth days. He's locally from the KC area!

Duke was rolling a Colombia Beast. I shot 279 in a tournament with that ball in 1999.

Norm curving it is a thing of beauty

Norm was ALWAYS a great sportsman...always respectful of his opponents...even rooting and giving hugs after/during defeats. Not like some of these cocky asshole babies you see today.

amazing title match

The amazing part really happened during the week leading up to this. Duke averaged over 248 for the week leading up to the 280 game. 3- 800 series, 3- 300 games and 2 - 299s. That is just nuts to fire 8 honor scores inside of one tournament.

It:s weird seeing Norm Duke with a beard when I used to seeing him clean shaven.

Super impressive for Goebel to get that 10th one after the oft-talked about, but rarely seen double balk.

Why does Norm Duke look like one of the Bee Gees?

34:45- "Duke of Earl?" ........... that song was used to advertise Hellmann's "Dijion-aise." Anyone remember?

At the 29:46 point, doesn't that look like a younger Bill O'Neil?

I just watched a 80’s tournament and Norm went from high school stud to single guy who still lives with his mom. Don’t get too offended it’s just a joke. Obviously the guy was quite successful

Collodion is a flammable, syrupy solution of nitrocellulose in ether and alcohol. There are two basic types: flexible and non-flexible. The flexible type is often used as a surgical dressing or to hold dressings in place. When painted on the skin, collodion dries to form a flexible nitrocellulose film.
