Argh!

Does anyone know what channel/time the men's basketball will be on? Australia versus USA. I want to tape it because I can't watch it because I have to do studio, and also Gavin can't watch it because he's at some dinner thing being nice to newbie dentists or something.
I'm reasonably confident that it's going to be on 7 but I don't want to leave it to chance! This has been like the only thing I have actually planned to watch. Except for the gymnastics. Pretties!




Who starts things halfway through the second quarter? What the hell? Olympics coverage my ass, thanks for nothing 7! (And for softball? Or baseball? or whatever the hell kind of boring game it was?)
I know it's likely NONE of you, my readers, care, but what the hell!

To be fair, the outcome of the bb game has been known, since, like, 1900, whereas the outcome of the softball game was uncertain.

I suppose, but surely there is some source of amusement to be had in watching our team get their asses handed to them? (It's happening now. It's somewhat amusing.)

BUT I GUESS this is a valid point.
Softball is still dumb though, and not even as brave as baseball. I mean, a soft ball, and underarm passing? I vote MOAR macross. Or Lacross. The hitting one.

I prefer waterpolo or volleyball to either.

Or, hell, synchronised diving. That is an awesome event.

Water polo!!

I can't like volleyball.. because all I can think of is hilariously injuring myself playing that game in highschool. Owwies!

Did you know that synchronised diving was apparently almost cut because it apparently didn't have enough public interest? I was shocked and stunned! It's an awesome sport.
