The Bee with its take...

Breezy made quite a few mistakes on her run, but she took a very different line at the top where she banked speed (LV tried to even go beyond Breezy's line) and carried that throughout the race. At the same gate where LV crashed, Breezy stays high and then hits the fall line pitch in the...

A completely wholesome family show... ... anyone care to post a translation of the lyrics ??? . This must be what the OP meant by "He had our home shaking our asses."

I'm starting to feel like Charlie Brown with Lucy pulling the ball every time. We keep hearing about some great pickup, only to find out they don't want to come to Minnesota. Maybe this time it'll happen... ... yes, he's on the downside of his career, but to get a marquee name to MN would maybe...

BTW, here's the men's course for the Olympics:

Depends totally on the hill. The greatest men's downhill is the course at Wengen (sorry all you Kitzbühel fans, the correct answer is Wengen).

From a MN perspective, Paula Molzen of Buck Hill is currently ranked as the 4th best overall ski racer in the world (USA's Mikela Shiffren is number one). Paula only competes in the technical events: slalom and giant slalom, whereas Lindsey Vonn now completes in only the speed events: downhill...

The team has been named. Because the U.S. Women's Alpine team is so dominant, we got eleven slots, which is the max for any country. One of those 11 could take Lindsey's spot in the downhill, but they couldn't add another person to the roster.

IMO it's really a bad decision. It adds drama, but you can't ski a DH approaching 100 mph with a ruptured ACL. She won't have control on right-handed turns. If it's really ruptured, someone needs to talk her out of getting into the starting gate.

Per the one person I know who worked at 247, the rankings are basically done per the list of schools that have allegedly given the 'cruit an offer. Fake the offer list, and your ranking goes up. There's been 'cruits that don't even exist (totally fake player) that have made the ranked lists...

B1G Games: SEC Games:

And here are the final results. B1G comes out on top, SEC dead last (tied with MW for percentage, but I'm giving the tie breaker to the SEC for having twice as many loses).

Just one of many ideas I was going to play with - I liked the idea of a tracer turning colors depending on how fast a person was running. After each play you could see the route every player took. Again, I did a patent check and someone beat me to the idea, so I never pursued this. Thought it'd...

The patent is pretty old by now, nearing expiration. So yes, maybe someone will make it happen.

Quite a while ago (as in something like 2005) I tried pulling a patent on the idea of embedding fiber-optical light cables into artificial turf, which would have made the entire field a giant video screen. For football games, you could have seen tracers as a player was running, had the first...
