Direct TV lists it on C BS Sports at 4:00. But W&M is playing Tulane (MEN).

She wins the gold medal! What a day for an 18 year old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last word on Mikaela: One European correspondent called the snow and weather conditions "horrible." He is right. It was more of a survival exercise than a demonstration of alpine racing "mastery". Wet Snow on top. Fog in the middle. Rain at the bottom. Visibility awful. Light flat. Course...

Hard to tell. The really difficult ruts are randomly located. So lots of luck is needed for all the racers. Mickaela has the best balance (by far) of all the slalom racers. So -- all other things being equal, she should have the best chance of winning. But she can hit a soft rut just the wrong...

Mikaela (age 18) finished 5th today. One half second behind the winner Tina Maze (age 31). There were no other racers under 20 in the top 20. 5th is what we expected in GS. She has won half the slalom races over the past two years; and is the favorite to win Slalom on Friday. I have my...

Yes -- I was at Burke Mt Academy last Friday, Sat, Sun. I haven't used my wheel chair for the last month. I use a walker when I want to go fast or far. I use a cane for extra safety/stability sometimes. Most walks short of 20 yards I just do without any "helpers." The walking is pretty slow and...

Griner did not intimidate Louisville. or Schoni Schimmel. End of argument!

On what ESPN? 1, 2, 3, or U

"The Breanna Stewart" I don't like it. It Sounds Cocky ---- Which she is not.

Who is TBS. And if its a nickname for Stewie, what is the T for?

From reading this thread, it looks lik UConn has missed 8 or more layups? Are they all unfocused?

Can someone please provide a link to the ESPN Coverage? Thank you! OC

Thanks to all for your many kind thoughts and good wishes. There are no Boneyarders more excited about this season than I. ----- Our present group of Huskies are going to be more fun to watch and cheer for than any other team since 1985, which is when I discovered Jenn Rizzotti and her...

OSouthBranch is doing just fine. Here's the skinny: I keep in touch with SouthBranch on a regular basis. He is one of my most precious UConn friends. He had some health problems two years ago; but he has "been repaired under warranty " and is happy and healthy now. His home in Springfield was...
