Perhaps Coca-Cola, Visa, McDonald's, Budweiser (InBev), Adidas and Hyundai could do something about it (the other FIFA sponsors are all Chinese and Qatar Airways).
Lol no, sorry, what was I thinking? 😂
I thought the USA Network coverage was decent (as was CNBC when it was on there). NBC just regurgitated what I had already seen hours before on one of the other channels, for the most part.
I was in Korea for the Pyeongchang games and yes, most of what was on Korean TV was Korea-centric. Not sure why it wouldn't have been.
The Winter Olympics are a lot of fun if you ever get the chance to attend. Going to random sports is great and most of them are inexpensive. Hoping to be in Cortina in 2024 - that will feel more like an old-school Games despite a ton of the events actually being a long way away in Milan. I had no wish to go to Beijing even pre-Covid.
(And Nicole, do give curling a try. It's fun although it's hard as hell to "run" down the ice sheet trying to sweep!)
Go Ti-Cats! Rumor is that their HC, Steinauer, will be the next DC at UW.
Having the additional player* out there next season should help.
*was going to say 12th player, but didn't want to talk to any A&M lawyers tonight.
S/he also has no understanding that you don't "win" the Congressional Medal of Honor.
A&M isn't even the home of the most recipients among public universities.
Yeah, I recorded it - 5am comes damn early on a Sunday - but I'm still going to try and catch it live.
I'm not a fan of either of these two douchebags; I'd just like to see Merc's long reign come to an end. Same reason I was a Lewis fan early in his career. Otherwise it's like trying to choose between DeChambeau and Koepka. Ugh.
I'm an actual fan of several of the other drivers - perhaps next season El Plan will come to fruition! At any rate, it's been a great season and thanks to a whole lot of you - Lewis and Max fanbois alike - who give me a better insight into the sport.
I imagine Oregon's Uncle Phil has already reached out. That whole setup is tailor-made for an amoral douchebag who just happens to be a great CFB coach. Uncle Phil is cut from the same cloth and will spend what it takes to win the championship before he pushes off (he's in his mid-80s). With Riley going to USC, he's going to want to make a splash.
(but UO still sucks)
Since everyone likes to talk about "cultural fit..."
...this is not it.
Not because of the LDS thing, but because everything Sitake appears to stand for in his program is basically the opposite of the Oregon Way. They could do a helluva lot worse, though. Sitake is solid.
Damn, Nicole. I'm terribly sorry to hear that. I enjoyed your tales of watching the games with him last weekend. Those are some fine memories to have. I hope for strength and peace for you both, and for your family, and that the coming day's news is better.
I think he's fine... or I hope so, anyway. There was enough talk in certain places re Campbell that my guess is an offer was made but turned down. The faithful would have been excited about that. It's more a "wait and see" with DeBoer - mainly to see if he can build a decent defensive staff (defense has always been the hallmark of UW when we're successful).
Well yeah, he won an Apple Cup. It's all those squidbillies care about. Shit, he could lose the next seven and still be tied with Leach. He wins one every 4-6 years, he's a god in Pullman.
