NBC is almost done screwing up the Olympics

medals_2-22

So I was in Florida from Thursday to yesterday, and apologize for the...ahem... lack of Olympics updates from one, CGally.  Anyways, since there was so much time lost, I will only be updating you on the medals we won on Monday the deuce deuce.

Silver: Pairs ice dancing - Meryl Davis and Charlie White

That's it.  We got one friggin' medal yesterday.  Zee Germans are creeping back up to our numbers, now only four medals behind.  Our men's curling team is fucking TERRIBLE.  John Shuster looks like Bobby the Ginger. And skips a curling team as well as Bobby rides bikes. And our bread and butter events are basically done.

However, our hockey teams are making a mockery out of the rest of the world.  We beat the Canucks the other night, which was awesome, and are currently undefeated.  And our women are undefeated and haven't won a game by less than 6 goals.  They play Canada on Thursday to decide the gold medal.  However, they are guaranteed a silver medal.  Take that Russia.

Coach K: So I'm giving you a zj over there?
Ref: Yeah, over there.

32.8% from the field. I'd like to blame last night's loss on the ridiculous referees, but shooting 32.8% will not win you many games. Since Duke shot even worse, the game was a lot closer than it should have been.

Hell, if we had shot 41% we'd probably have won. And we weren't just missing contested shots, either. We missed EVERYTHING. Wide open looks clanged off the back of the iron. Layups and putbacks wouldn't drop. Nothing was hitting.

Christ, we went 2 of 15 from behind the arc. Is that for real? 2 of 15?!?!

So in the end, we blew our shot at the top-25 and the lead in the ACC. We're still looking good for the tournament if we can take care of our home games.

But dammit, we freaking hate losing to Duke. Now we know how Canada feels...

 
Duke: One Time

Ever beat your older brother down Cherry Hill? All it takes is one time...

This is THE game, people. Win this, and the season is officially special. Shit just got real.

Sure, Duke has arguably the best collection of white basketball players in the country. But this rag-tag band of Hokies has the chance to shock the world and take first place in the ACC.

And in order to win, we're going to need help. We'll need to run faster and jump higher. And there's one man that knows how to do the impossible...

olympics

Well, we are just totally dominating these games. Wouldn't surprise us to see the US take down Canada in hockey, even. America, f*ck yeah.

Last night...

Evan Lysacek won the gold in Men's Figure Skating. People probably think this is a bigger deal than we think it is. That's what NBC told us, anyways.

Julia Mancuso won silver in the Women's Super Combined. She's super. That one hot skier was first after the downhill, but crashed in the slalom. We forgive her though. You know why.

Hannah Teter and and Kelly Clark(son?) won silver and bronze, respectively, in the women's halfpipe. After Shaun White's performance Wednesday night, this event seemed a little lackluster.

Keep up the good work, America.

Remember world: we're better than you.

As promised, avid reader d_w has come through and provided us with video for the Zombie Kill of the Month.

It's usually just a weekly thing, but this was so huge it deserved an entire month. After the jump...

 
Back to where we should be.

medals_2-17

Whew, that was harsh.  Almost a full day not in front of the medal count.  Thankfully we kicked ass and took names today because we jumped the Germans and are out to a commanding 4 medal lead.  Here are the most Americanist people of the day:

Gold: Womens downhill - Lindsey Vonn

Men's snowboarding halfpipe - Shaun White (who fucking KILLED it)

Speedskating men's 1000m - Shani Davis

Silver: Women's downhill - Julia Mancuso

Bronze: Men's nowboarding halfpipe - Scotty Lago

Speedskating men's 1000m - Chad Hedrick

Following the jump, we provide sensible, well-thought-out analysis of last night's game. Just like real journalists should...

 
Well this is embarassing.

medals_2-16



Sonofabitch.  Well Lindsey Jacobellis shat the bed again for America.  She got her ass DQed because she hit a damn gate.  That and we have no chance whatsoever in biathlon and all the other events for medals today.  But at least our men's and women's hockey teams won.  Men beat the Swiss 3-1 and the women beat the Ruskies 1-2.  Wait that doesn't make sense, hold on.  Ohhhh, ok, my bad.  The women didn't beat the Russians 1-2.  They beat them 12-0.  I was close.   The Russians were not.

In other news, the Hokies beat Wake Forest (Ranked 25th!) at home 87-83.  Boo yah bitches.  If we don't make the NCAA tourney, I say we go all West Virginia on the NCAA and burn the shit out of their "couches".  Interpret that as you will.

So as we end the day in Olympics competition, we lose the top medals place to zee Germans, who haf veys uff making us talk. Hopefully tomorrow, we take that right back.  Our best hopes are the women's downhill (Vonn, Mancuso, McKennis, and Cook) and men's halfpipe snowboard (US men are predicted/expected to fill the podium).  We'll see how it turns out.

Huge game tonight on ESPN2. The Hokies are looking to stay undefeated at home against #23 Wake Forest.

With the Olympics going on right now, there's really only one way to go with this...

wescott

Snowboarder Seth Wescott. He's so pimp, he wins gold medals in jeans.

LET'S GO HOKIES!!

medals_2-15


Two more medals added to our total last night.  Germany is catching up, but methinks they don't have the medal-ing potential to the extent that Amerika does.  Last night Shani Davis dropped out of the men's 500m sppedskating second race, which came as a surprise, until it was clarified that he only entered the race to get himself some practice for his bread and butter event, the 1000m.  Oh yeah he is the defending world champion and current record holder for that race.  So I think he made a decent choice.  Anyways, here are our new most patriotic people:

Gold: Men's Snowboard cross - Seth Wescott

Bronze: Men's downhill - Bode Miller

Tonight, the only thing worth watching is the women's snowboard cross.  We have some pretty awesome and pretty hot ladies competing in that event, and hopefully the finals are chock full of Americans.  USA! USA! USA!
