First Grade Teacher Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Bode placed 2nd, 1st and 2nd this weekend and leads by 290 points.
moe ghoul Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Beer endorsements should be rolling in , Isn't he skiing as an "independent" or "unaffiliated" at this point? I remember reading something about that recently.
mbike-ski Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 maybe thats why ski's so grumpy lately....
AtomicSkier Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 yay for bode!!!! all bode hates can rot in hell, or at sno (same thing).
Ski Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 maybe thats why ski's so grumpy lately.... I'm not grumpy. I've been having the best ski days ever. I couldn't give a crap about cop killing redneck clans...I'm a little worried about our girl (Nicole Hosp) being 54 points behind Vonn, though. yay for bode!!!! all bode hates can rot in hell, or at sno (same thing). What's up with that? Beer endorsements should be rolling in , Isn't he skiing as an "independent" or "unaffiliated" at this point? I remember reading something about that recently. Yes and yes.
sibhusky Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I'm a little worried about our girl (Nicole Hosp) being 54 points behind Vonn, though. Why is Hosp "our girl", when Vonn, an American married to a guy from NY, not?
Ski Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Why is Hosp "our girl", when Vonn, an American married to a guy from NY, not? She's Ty's favorite racer, so I root for her because of that. When Svindal---the best skier in the world got hurt---watching the second best beat up on everyone just lost it's novelty fast.
First Grade Teacher Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 When Svindal---the best skier in the world got hurt---watching the second best beat up on everyone just lost it's novelty fast. If your hurt, your not "the best skier in the world". Like it not Bode is the best so far this year. Injuries are part of ski racing!
moe ghoul Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Popcorn!! git yer popcorn right here.........
Ski Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 If your hurt, your not "the best skier in the world". Like it not Bode is the best so far this year. Injuries are part of ski racing! Okay, try and understand it this way: the wrestling heavyweight high school state champion cracks a rib and is out for eight weeks. Then, the heavyweight that wrestles JV gets the flu and can't go. The coach turns to the fat kid water boy and stuffs him into a singlet. Sorry, but he is not therefore the best heavyweight wrestler. No great ski racer ever considers himself the greatest when the best competition is injured. Well, Bode's one exception. I've heard you're side of that argument a lot. It's just a fans opinion, just like mine. But I like to instill in my players a sense of wanting to win against a full side---it means more. You're more of the Tonya Harding school of thought.
moe ghoul Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 If Bode is so great..than why does he sometimes fall...boo yah He doesn't care about winning, he wants to see how fast he can ski in the natural universe. His words........
Ski Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 He doesn't care about winning, he wants to see how fast he can ski in the natural universe. His words........ Moe, Doug is just trying to incite a riot.
moe ghoul Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Then why doesn't he take up speed skiing..they go well over 100mph...Downhill is kind of wimpy since they have to make turns and rarely get over 85mph.. Who knows? But this thread has great flamewar potential. Are the mods snoozing? Moe, Doug is just trying to incite a riot. ROFLMAO!!!!!! Busted.

Listen Coach CCCCCCCCCrazy, if the "fat kid water boy" then beats everyone in the world, he is the best. Got it? Last I checked Bode wasn't wacking any of his competition in the shins to improve his chance of winning. I hope to God you don't teach your players that a win is diminished if the other teams star gets hurt! Edited March 4, 2008 by First Grade Teacher

Ski Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 speaking of wrestling... Northampton is sending 12 to states. thats sick. not that any of you care... That's pretty amazing. Twelve out of 13, I guess?

I shoot a lot of wrestling---maybe 30 matches every winter (ya think I'd remember). It's a good gig if the home team is better and they pin the other guys in the first period...it's crappy gig if the other team is better and always on top---and overtime sucks.
