HuskerFanChuck Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Fantastic opening ceremony! Favorite parts were the Queen/Bond, Rowan Atkinson, and the cauldron lighting! And I also thought McCartney sounded pretty warn tonight, though my wife thought he was just choked up at the beginning. Quote Link to comment

Sounded like he either choked up or realized he wasn't going to be able to hit the higher notes or his voice was going out. But I caught that as well Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Pouring it on now. I just hope the candy-striper unis aren't here to stay. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 NBC's coverage is just horrendous. Every single games they show NOTHING live. For example, in about 40 minutes, we have a Phelps v. Lochte 400 IM final. On a Saturday f'ing afternoon. Great, I'll tune in! No wait, NBC is tape delaying it until 8pm or something tonight. WTF. And even then it will be unwatchable because their primetime covereage is about 15% actual events, 85% Costas/Roberts puff pieces and Visa commercials. Piss off, NBC. Show us some events. And they wonder why they lose billions of dollars on each Olympic Games they cover... Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 NBC is terrible. We're missing so much of this match because they're at commercial. Every single commercial break we're missing at least one point. I'd rather listen to it on radio. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 American women got a little haphazard there after going up 2-0. Started coasting and S. Korea won the third, 25-20. We looked like we had it in the bag two different times in the fourth, only to start coasting again late, allowing S. Korea to make it close, but we ended up getting the win 3-1. Jordan and Destinee Hooker teamed up for the match-winning block, which was nice. Team USA should have had the fourth in the bag when Jordan stepped back and bombed several serves, including an ace, to take it from 16-14 to 20-14 - all but sealing the win in a rally-scoring match. But three straight hitting errors, including two gaffes by Hooker with single or no blockers, made it 23-20. The U.S. finally closed it out, though. On to Brazil. We play like that against the Brazilians, we're going to lose. Gotta stay focused. Quote Link to comment
