I'm not sure if you are being a little (or a lot!) sarcastic, but curling is absolutely massive in Canada. If you are 45+, chances are that you hang out at the curling club.

No, I was being dead serious. I enjoy watching curling and I know it's pretty much second only to hockey up there, but the atmosphere this morning was unlike other matches I've seen, especially for a non-medal match.

Nice. I have yet to watch any of the Olympic events. I gotta get on that horse.

Yesterday and this morning were all preliminary stuff. Round-robin for the mixed doubles curling and ski jump qualifying. There'll be moguls qualifying and the short program for team figure skating tonight. Of course, there's also some basketball game on during primetime.

Wind caused cancellation of women's slopestyle qualifying. The final will have all 27 participants, but they'll only get 2 runs each. If that had happened in the men's event, Red Gerard would've been dead last among the starters.
Speaking of Red:
EDIT: Fuck NBC and the IOC

Mods I went back 5 pages and didn't see a UFC thread unless I overlooked it. Feel free to merge if there is.
Any UFC fans?
Cormier moving up to heavyweight to fight Miocic has me pretty excited. What sucks is I like both guys and one of them has to lose.
There's also rumblings that Brock will fight Jon Jones in a super fight in November if Bones appeal works out. Then there are rumors that the winner of that would fight the Cormier/Miocic winner for the title.
My dream: Cormier beats Miocic in a 5 round decision. Brock completely destroys Jones.
Corner and Brock fight for the heavyweight, Cormier beats him and both retire. Miocic beats Cain to regain the vacated title.

So it looks like Duke is actually good at baseball now. They're tied for the best record in the ACC and have won series against UVA, Miami and now FSU. They might actually get to host a regional which is something normally reserved for the great programs like Clemson and UNC. This is like the final frontier for Duke--even football got good before baseball.

Today, he was elected into the Hall of Fame with the highest vote % ever: 96%.
Great day.
