Just saw the item above so... The judges made an error, taking a medal away from someone. Then the judges "look at the film" and decided they were in error once again because of a unique time rule different for all other competitors in that specific stage. The country being awarded the medal offers up mediation of medals for both countries to align to the error. Turns out the judges were wrong again and video proves that reality. Judges nope their sorry asses out of the evidence. Seems reasonable.

The past couple of pages of this thread have been very on brand for Surly.

Well.... he did "live" Jackson Mississippi - this is the "good stuff"

Valuable. Just so you know, I love you man.

Super valuable clarification and insight. I'm truly grateful you took the time to explain to my ignorant ass. The world is better for it, and particularly your open and clear display of child like petulant behavior similar to Mack and Deion. It's great, and these types of arguments are so very productive. If only Surly had more of them.

There would be no film nor TV without an antagonist. Sports like other mediums loves to build people up and then tear them down. Perhaps even more so than in the standard celebrity world as there are clear undeniable measurements of success and failure. What would the last 20 years have been with out Stoops, Meyer, Bowden, Paterno (another league of his own), Fisher (Jimbo and Jeff), Spurier, Switzer, Jimmy Johnson, and of course Saban. I'm not going to compare Mack to Deion, as it's just too different at this point. I'm not debating the core of your argument, that they were both petulant asses. However, Mack never has the "showmanship" of Prime's pedigree. Particularly, being only 4 years in to his head coaching career. Deion really is in a class of his own, regardless of any parallels to other coaches. None were so egocentric and egomaniacal 4 years into their college coaching career. He talk like and allows his players to behave like Switzer... with 4 season on his resume. 3 of which were Jackson State.

Gonna need a source to confirm this man. Don't post some shit in jest that brings me joy only for me to find out it's lies... that's just cruel dude.

I'm never going to defend Charlie Strong, but I will note that I don't recall gun issues in the locker room, legal liability issues, claims of bankruptcy, nor social media "events" during his tenure. Coach Prime is in a league of his own.

I don't deny the basic premise of Big XII picking an enemy. It's clear it was Texas prior to our departure. However, it may turn out that CU being a media attention whore all off season gives them a new enemy to focus on this season. I am confident though, that officials will greatly favor or punish CU. I just hope they pick them as the enemy because the The Prime show would be a 3 ring circus of entertainment.

I'm confident his "shopped his kids" during HS for a place that would take him in Jackson State. I'm confident the same thing with CU. Package deal for sure. Which has me curious if he's doing the same things with the NFL.

Yeah, it reminds me of a couple of specific people in the news the past couple of years, which I'm confident are popular in Boulder.

He coached Jackson State 2000-2002 and has 1 year at CU. I think he'll take the free paycheck for one more year after his sons are gone. Going back to TV after a few down years is a great call. I would say CU is currently "Trending" but their record doesn't really indicate relevant.

Not sure you read it but it actually wasn't a "bad call". The correction was accurate. The ISSUE and why they are taking away a medal is: CAS ruled Saturday that the on-floor appeal Monday by Cecile Landi to have 0.1 added to Chiles' score came outside the one-minute window allowed by the FIG. The ad hoc committee wrote that Landi's appeal came 1 minute, 4 seconds after the score was posted. That is absolute shit. I'm all about getting it right as i noted above, but this feels like solution looking for a problem. This is the take of the competitor: "I only want for everybody to be fair. We don't want to start picking on other athletes of any nationality," Barbosu told reporters. "We as athletes don't deserve something like that. We only want to perform as best as we can and to be rewarded based on our performance. The problems lie with the judges, with their calculations and decisions."

He'll go where he finds the most snake oil demand.

I said it very early in this thread, but I'll be shocked if he's still coaching in 3 years. He won't give a shit next year at all, and if he doesn't just leave after year 3, he'll be run off creating drama worthy of a show called "Real Housewife Issues of CU Football".

I absolutely agree. I think he's a very physically gifted, lower level field vision/decision making mid-tier college QB with "Off Field Wash-Out Issues" tattooed on his forehead. So of course the Cowboys will pick him up early, probably passing on Quinn Ewers to do so.

That or a game of 3x3 but US gets to use Curry, LeBron and KD. That's a 3x3 that would be fun to watch.

You're amazing Curry, but back off my woman!!!!

The end was an absolute "FAFO"... what a great exclamation point for this team.

That's gonna be a highlight for 4 years...

Fucking BRUTAL, yes all caps

Dammmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

OMG¡!!!!!!!

Yeah, they're pretty good.

Agree with 1-4 completely. 5 drove me away from watching the Olympics completely. I stopped giving a shit and just checked medal count online then looked for highlights. That was far and away the worst era. Gymnastics, highlights of Gymnastics competitors, back story of Gymnastics lives, the dogs and cats of Gymnastic competitors, the friend of Gymnastic competitors dogs, the food of the friends of Gymnastic competitors dogs, cats and their friends, family of the dogs of Gymnastics competitors, and then, some more Gymnastics.
