  1. Big 4th end for Shuster to bring the US men's curling into a 3-3 tie with Russia. End 5 underway now.

      ^^^^Yes. It's like they want to lose. Some horrible throws in last two Ends here.

    3. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      This shot is doable for the US to win. But it's hard to see it happening the way Shuster has been throwing the last couple ends.

    4. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      Yep, complete fail. These are the games this team should not be losing in terms of skill on the team, but they are masters are choking when it counts.

  2. Another mass shooting. Go USA?

      Great to see the men put it together finally, with a bit of help from a struggling Denmark team. Now if the women could just get their sh...tuff together.

      That's a funny article. In a strange way, it's accurate (from an outsider's perspective) but at the same time quite inaccurate if you know the sport.

  7. Murdoch clutch again for GBR with his skip stones, taking advantage of a Swedish miss to advance to the gold medal game. That should ease some of the controversy around him.

      That's like me discussing Cricket on here...it might sense to some...but absolutely no one on Huskerboard. You keep at it though tiger! ;)

    3. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      It'd make sense to me. And there are a few people who have been watching curling enough to know what I meant. It'd only take watching a few matches of curling with the NBC commentary to know and retain enough.

      I've watched a little in the past, but none this olympics. It's basically a shuffleboard on ice. Sort of.

      I'm a huge fan as well. I find the strategy element very appealing. Like mini chess games on ice. It's growing (slowly) in popularity here, which is good to see.

  11. Alabama players jogging along while the guy runs the ball back to win. Pathetic. Alabama deserved to lose after that.

      That's a little distasteful. Nobody that puts the effort in deserves to lose and I didn't see anyone jogging accept those well out of play.

    3. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      After that, Alabama definitely deserved to lose. Distasteful or not, it's the truth. There was no effort there at the end, and that's why.

    4. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      Yeah, the storylines for the games will be great. And I expect them to be fun games, because the US isn't a bad team. But realistically, that's a rough draw and a terrible travel schedule. Even if it's a short WC for us, it'll be fun.

      If that doesn't unseat the butt fumble nothing will. Actually nothing probably will good job Mark.

      ESPN did a Sports Science segment on the Butt Fumble. Apparently it only takes around 150 pounds of force to fumble a ball and Sanchize was hit with about 1500 or something crazy. To sum it up: it's not his fault!

  17. Ok, that Louisville receiver getting both toes in on that TD was just sick.

      They're still running new ones every Friday night. I'm not sure when reruns can be seen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them do a Helix recap marathon at some point. That's just speculation, though.

      So by 'clash' you're talking about clothing, right?

    3. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      Wow, GBR down by 1 with the final stone of the 10th end. Norway partially missed their final stone to leave a really difficult runback double for the GBR win, or an easy draw to tie and go into the 11th (where Norway would have the hammer and a huge advantage). GBR tries for the shot, and makes it - easily the best shot of the Olympics so far.

    4. EbylHusker

      That it is. And I really like Rooney's game, but how in the world do they extend his contact to 2019 with the garbage of a season Man U is having? Serious problems going on. The Glazers are probably going crazy right now.

      Most of the people there were paired up or in small groups, so I'm guessing many had someone who wasn't drinking much. They had a very nice selection. Two from Powers, three from Redbreast, Paddy, and two from Jameson, including their Gold Reserve.

      Obviously the theme is the distillery, in this case, Midleton.

      Ok, they do sound different after listing to a few more video's. But nothing is ever going to sound as good as a V10 or V12. I don't think it's awful though.
