US Mens curling match against France

[zerocooldog]

was riveting, just spent two hours watching it, came down to the 10th end, tied 3-3 andthe french had the hammer but the US gets the steal. The french skipper almost won it on his last stone, very suspenseful. Never would have guessed that Vernon Davis of of the 49ers was such a huge fan of the sport, guy interviewed with the announcers, says hes been playing and doing PSAs promoting it.

I may be the only one watching this ****, but it is fun and less stressful thanwatching our BB team.Lot of good events on tonight as well.

If there is anything in the Winter Olympics that I would like to watch. It would be curling.

So, was that the last of it? I havent been following very much .

Great to watch, and you can start to pick up on it as you go along. Glad to see we finally broke through and won one. I thought that last rock by France was gonna get through. And the women won earlier today as well. I hate winter sports, but for some reason i become glued to them during the Olympics. Only seems fun to watch during the Olympics.

I kept telling myself I needed to turn the channel, but I just couldn't do it. I found myself captivated by the end of the action.

in MS, and it would take off here or in the southeast in general. If Mike and Cobi would have gotten off of their lazy *** and put one in the Pub, they would be retired by now.

I guess i just wont watch anymore. Curling really is addicting and some of the women curlers are pretty damn good looking

coming up, its a pretty big tourney, i think the US has two matches tomorrow

And beer is an unofficial part of the game. Win! Don't know about any other Southern locales.

And have no idea why.

30 years ago I started going to UAH ice hockey games, just for the novelty....and it grew on me for some reason. At least hockey has some vague similarities to other sports, like soccer and basketball, tho the latter don't have an "icing" call.

Curling is not like anything, except possibly [again, vaguely] shuffleboard. Which I wouldn't watch on TV. I also don't watch NASCAR, golf, bowling or poker. But for those who may enjoy watching cricket, lacrosse, or other sports not native to MS, I respect your proclivities.

I still don't know why I'll sit and watch curling.

 

[zerocooldog]

at least thats what I hear/read on wikipedia.

Also, not supprised about Knoxville since they have an ice rink, it would seem rational that if a metro area has a rink they'd probably have a league.

women's curling was on every night. Some inter-provincial tourney. I ended up watching the damn thing every night. Each team would have a couple of really cute girls and two women that looked like Nurse Rachet. It is addictive in a strange way.

After that, the 4-team medal tournament starts. The last day is the 28th. Here's the schedule: http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv-listings/zone=CT/sport=CU/index.html

I am so glad Shuster got benched. He has sucked. However, if I were the coach, I'd probably put him either 2nd or 3rd tomorrow and bench Isaacson.

 

[SanfordRJones]

There is one in Atlanta and Nashville, too (not 100% sure if the Atlanta club is up and running yet). There also a couple of clubs in Texas (Dallas and Houston).

Maybe one day it will make it to Jackson. I would drop all of my current hobbies to join a league.

Also, this seems to have a pretty strong cult TV following (of which I am a loyal member having watched every televised rock for the last 3 Olympics), so I don't see why some cable network like USA or Spike wouldn't carry a big international tournament or maybe even some Canadian league games every now and then. It sucks only getting to watch this for 10 days every 4 years.

The Denmark twin blondes and the Canadian MILF.

I like the tall dark-haired girl from Denmark.

AA - HARD!

Excellent choice but the auburn-haired Canadian MILF with the pony tail is killing me. My wife keeps asking why I am watching this **** and I thought she was smarter than that.
