I realized yesterday that I never actually posted the video of Brandon’s Full 50 from Week 1. Keep in mind he had two that night. And as you can see on the clip, he called this one. Kinda impressive. And by kinda I mean super.
There’s been a lot of sh*t talking from some folks (mainly Raleigh) about how The Marksman is over-rated and blah blah blah. So I’m gonna go ahead and address all that nonsense right now.
The kid has 4 Chalices to his name. And I’m not even opening the archives to calculate all of the MVSkee, High Roller, Hundo, Full 40, etc etc trophies that adorn his walls. He’s also graced more Rolling Times covers than any other skeelebrity to play in the league.
Sure, Skee Gen X (Raleigh) threw up some crazy high scores last skeeson, but so did the entire city of Raleigh. Rookies, vets, scrubs, everyone was nailing hundos…and everyone who played up there will admit things got a little crazy. I’m a purist so I’m not a big fan of hundos to begin with, unless it’s your last ball and you need it. Harris can go hundo, 40 or 50. He rolled a 370 in Week 3 without dropping a single hundo. All up the middle, mostly 50s. I’d like to see El Duke or Burgundy roll a 370 up the middle. The kid is the best there’s ever been and for now he’s still Top Dog until someone knocks him off. Which, last time I checked, was…..a very long time ago. He won Skeeson X (both the Chalice and High Roller), sat out Skeeson XI, and absolutely dominated in the Super Roll.
So go ahead and cue the haters in the comments section. Harris is over-rated, Farrell’s on his nuts, blah blah blah. Long story short, until someone can beat him, he’s still the best. We’ll see all the haters in November for Super Roll II.
PS I should have held off on this column until tomorrow. Week 1 of Raleigh Skeeson V is tonight. Sh*t.
PPS Below is a Rolling Times cover from Skeeson VIII when Google ranked him as the #1 skeeballer in America. When you’d type in “#1 skeeballer in America” it would say Did you mean Brandon “The Makers Marksman” Harris? True story….I’ve still got the screenshot saved if anyone wants to see it. I don’t think the Google search works anymore, but at one point even Google knew the deal.
