I don't think we play till 7:45.

I'm totally confused; it's on at 2 AM?

7:30a - 9:30a

USA (242)

Men's Soccer

Well, that's good. No free beer, I guess, but it's a heck of a lot easier to get up at 7:30 than 5.

I think it might work better if she was there with you to make sure there's no napping between calls. Clean your apartment and tell her you think she needs to sleep over. It could work!!

Just got back from Lil' Vuture's play. Did I already miss the parade of nations? I flipped on the Olympics, and they were doing the pageantry thing.

womens sports suck. i know they're necessary, and i think title IX is a reasonably good thing, but they suck to watch.

basketball especially.
if you don't know what the wrestlers are trying to do--how certain moves and holds are supposed to work and so forth, then it might just look like too sweaty guys rolling around on a mat.

Oh. I'm replying to a Steagles post. Um. OK.

on second thought, the soccer is surprisingly watchable.

what's it say about a sport when the women are tougher than the men?

Our Women's Volleyball team is on NBC. Sadly, it's not beach volleyball.

yep, and the tour guide was hurt, and immediately after the stabbings, the assailant jumped 130 feet to his death

America beats Japan at women's volleyball, adding that to the men's and women's soccer wins.

The Pearl Harbor Revenge Tour continues.
