Medal count or urination match?

I don't like seeing the medal count on websites and newspapers.  It undermines the true essence of the olympics.  I know some people might say that competition is the catalyst of the olympics, but glory should be the real driving force behind the games.  Having a medal count is a foolish attempt to have a "Winner of the Entire Olympics."  There's no one winner of all of the events combined.  There's a singular gold, silver, and bronze medalist for each sport or "sport."  United Statesians need to get off of their high horse and just enjoy each sport's value; quit worrying about who had the most golds or overall medals.

Where'd all the Kentucky fans go?

That's right UK fans; I'm calling you out.  This time a year ago I saw an influx of Kentucky fans.  I can't really remember what other teams were unusually hyped before last season (Illinois and Rutgers also I guess).  I don't remember too many other Rutgers fans besides RUGator and EastCoastKeith, and I have no recollection of Illinois fans.  So where's all the Kentucky fans?

Why Georgia's schedule is not unmanageable in '08.

I've thought about this a lot.  I hear a lot of people say that the only thing against Georgia is their schedule.  I say that it's great that a team touted to possibly play for the national championship have a schedule that is tough as nails. Do we want to talk about Hawaii possibly playing for a National Championship?  How about Kansas possibly playing for the National Championship?  Kansas has made great strides, but the only team they ever played in the regular season in '07 was Mizzou. Kansas has more than enough to worry about in '08, so if they go undefeated this year then they deserve to play in the BCS title game.

Another sports blunder?

Blame it on the beer, but I'm gonna pull an RUGator and get personal this post (that and I don't like American Idol which is the only programming on TV right now). 

Throughout my life, I look back at my sports "career" and shake my head.

Soccer was my first sport I ever played in preschool. Now that I think about it, my Mexican mother probably had more influence on that decision than I originally thought.  I remember playing goalie once, and I free kicked it to a kid that was in the far back of the pack. I actually kicked the ball too well, and it landed right into the kid's gut.  I felt bad for that even though I shouldn't have.  I forget why I actually didn't play soccer beyond 6 years of age. Oh wait, I didn't like how a huge pack would converge around the ball like a pack of hyienas over an abandonned zebra carcas. That's why I liked playing goalie; I would only have to concentrate on the ball when it was close which was rare.
