QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) Nordic Combined is my favorite Olympic event and the US has medeled for the first time ever and they have four of them....cool. Really amazing that you can not medal in an event for 86 years and then dominate it the way the US did this Olympics. And Spillane and Demong are only 29 so they could definitely be back for 2014 if they want to.

NBC's coverage really pisses me off sometimes. There is Men's Aerials going on live right now and we are watching a medal ceremony, figure skaters with no chance to medal and a piece on logging. Awesome.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 06:14 PM) Someone seriously said that the WNBA isn't a sport? Women playing basketball is an abomination, but basketball is a sport so the WNBA is also a sport.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 02:44 AM) Sweden was the much better team too. It's a shame. Sweden out shot them 29-14. 4 goals from 14 shots? Wow. There was a stretch where Slovakia scored 4 times out of 5 shots and the only miss in those 5 shots led to a rebound where Slovakia scored so they basically scored on a 4 consecutive chances.

Sounds like a torn ACL for Hummel, but not official yet.

Huge shot by Grant. Minny will have a chance to win it though. This really turned into a great game.

What a choke by Iverson. Misses a wide open layup to put Minny up 3 which leads to a potential 3 pt play for Purdue.

Ed Hightower seriously sucks btw. I love that the ref right on top of that out of bounds call a little while ago gets overruled by Hightower from 30 ft away and it appeared on the replay Hightower was wrong. I hate that douchebag.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 09:49 PM) They are quickly going to be an also ran. Ill, OSU, MSU, IU, Wisco and prob Minny will be the top tier. Crean really isn't recruiting that well to make me think IU will be in the top tier and really that goes for Minnesota as well.

And Purdue is horrible without Hummel. They are so royally screwed once that JR class is gone. THey have no talent at all in their sophomore and freshmen classes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 05:21 PM) Pulled it off. Survive and advance is all that matters at this point. Who do people want to play in the semis, Finland or Czech Republic?

Ugh, so lucky for Switzerland

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 12:20 AM) A furious 3rd period rally has sent the Latvia/Czech Republic game to overtime. I thought this game would be a complete blowout, Latvia really wasn't even competitive in the pool play games. This would be an all time upset if it somehow happens. Their goaltender has played an amazing game.

BTW, John Beilein is a dumbass. You have a team that has no good 3 pt shooters and you have your team do nothing but jack up 3 pt shots. Smart coaching.

Hopefully Sweden stops scoring now. The current score would be a perfect result for the US.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) Unless I misunderstood this, Russia is locked into a top 3 seed for winning their group. The asterisk for position in group is for the tiebreakers within that. You are right. Russia is locked into the 3 spot so the US wants either a Sweden win with less than a 5 goal differential, or the game to go into OT to get the #1 seed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) Yeah we're definitely rooting for Sweden tonight... It's going to be a late one. Actually I may have screwed up my previous post. It looks like if Sweden beats Finland in OT then Russia will actually be the 4th seed as Sweden would have more points than Russia and Finland would have a better goal differential. So lets just hope Sweden wins in regulation.

Ryan Miller is a god. Also, unless I screwed up, it looks like Russia is locked into the 3 seed. So we will almost certainly see Russia play Canada. Just in the quarterfinals not the gold medal game like everyone was predicting. The result tonight of the Finland/Sweden game is huge for the US btw. If Sweden wins or the game goes to OT then the US is the #1 seed and will avoid Russia, Canada and either Finland or Sweden until the Gold Medal game if they make it that far. They would get what should be an easy game in the quarterfinals against Switzerland or Belarus and then would play either Sweden/Finland or the Czech Republic.

Ryan Miller is unreal

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 20, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) At least you know UNC will be back. GT continues to find new and exciting ways to lose. How is Hewitt's job security? The fact that they are so mediocre with 3 1st round draft choices is truly incredible.

If I'm Weber I rip on the refs in the post game. Horrible officiating that entire game today.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 11:26 PM) I get so damn frustrated with my friends who always back out of stuff when it comes to drinking. They never drink their beers in beer pong, ring of fire, etc. Tonight they want to do Power Hour. I didn't want to just because I knew I'd be the only one actually trying to go the whole way. They say no and convince me otherwise. What happens not even 25 minutes in? All of them quit. Do all your friends have vaginas?

Slovakia beats Russia in a shootout. I think today proves that while Russia and Canada are certainly the most talented teams they aren't close to a lock for the gold medal and are very beatable especially in this format.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) Rick Barnes is doing a pathetic job coaching Texas this season. Rick Barnes just flat out sucks as a coach. Luckily for him and for Texas he has had as much talent in the last 10 years as any other school in the country.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) Do they normally show this much curling or is it because of the weather? They showed a lot in Torino, it was just on at weird times.
