Just interested in where the team camps are for this month. If you know of any tell the date, location, and teams going!
Football Camps
- Thread starter TrooperBaby
- Start date
One camp I’ve always been involved in which is arguably the most competitive camp in STL is the Kirkwood camp which will be held this upcoming Thursday, July 18th. The teams are Kirkwood, Ladue, Lindbergh, Jackson and Lafayette.
I cant tell you how many times we spotted a loner sitting in his car in the far parking lot watching us practice and we would send someone over to "check him out". And we had an ongoing gag around playoff time where we would halt a play when a helicopter was flying by and say it might be Windsor or Hillsboro, etc.
That's hilarious and also insane. I bet Bosko has some similar stories...
When I saw the edit time I kicked myself I didn't check it out when I could.
It was not to long ago, ole Alan Spencer had the city of Monett make all the streets next to the football practice field no parking, cops would pull you over if you even tried to slow down on one of those streets. It was said that cAssville had a spy network next to none back in those days.
I always heard rumors that a few fist fights might or might not have broken out when the film was picked up back in the 80's, there was only one place to take it and have it developed back then around here.
Did they pick the film up at the local pool hall?
Some schools might have hired airplanes to fly over and scout. My first days in coaching scouted every Friday night. Did everything by hand by myself or with another coach.
Fighting at the pool hall was a rite of passage growing up. Life skillz.
Oh you dont say?? A few of my fellow Doc Guys are known for fighting in pool halls.....
I can't remember the last operating exclusive pool hall I've seen.
I can remember, barely, the last operating "exclusive" pool hall I saw (that is if you don't count the pitch game the old timers were playing on the table in the corner-ten cents a point and 50 cents for the house per game).
I bought an old pool table and a beautiful ornate snooker table at the proprietor's estate sale.
Gave one each to two of my kids because they have huge space appropriate game rooms and I get to enjoy playing on them when we get together. They bring back a lot of high school age memories but my children don't even realize the significance they hold for me.

My question is are we talking pool hall or snooker???I can remember, barely, the last operating "exclusive" pool hall I saw (that is if you don't count the pitch game the old timers were playing on the table in the corner-ten cents a point and 50 cents for the house per game).

I used to rule the snooker table at the Macon Elks lodge. #humblebragI can remember, barely, the last operating "exclusive" pool hall I saw (that is if you don't count the pitch game the old timers were playing on the table in the corner-ten cents a point and 50 cents for the house per game).

My hometown of Odessa, there was one until semi recently. Ricochets. Opened when I was either in 8th grade or a freshman.
River City Billards in Hannibal,,,,,I stop there when coming from that direction just to play
Youre darn right about that one Shoot. It seems like most pools are shutting down around the US, from what I have gathered in this thread. I am happy to report, the Ampipe pool hall is still going strong!
Glad to hear!! Has the decor changed at all inside??
Not too much actually. The owner wants it keep the same look and feel as from the doc. That way, whenever fans come to Ampipe to all the famous filming locations, it looks the same. He did replace the pool tables a few years back though and updated the kitchen
Sadly, the Bayside version of the Ampipe pool hall, The Max, closed down a few years back. Probably because it wasnt being ran by a magician anymore.
Ouch!!! 9 ball is more my game. Snooker on a big table, where you have to use a bridge half the time, count me out.
Whoa! Easy there fella! So much misinformation in your post. Let me break it down for you;
1) Lets not forget, this thread started with TrooperBaby talking to himself, so this thread was doomed from the start.
2) I do believe it was YOU, who started the derailing of this thread. Well before any Doc Guy commented.
3) As I have stated many times on here before, we Doc Guys do not "hijack" threads. We merely give sage advice and relate our doc experiences back to the original thread topic.
4) Welcome aboard TrooperBaby!
