  1. The one thing I'm taking away is how awesome Victor Campenaerts is. Not so much as a cyclist but just as a human being. His emotion after winning stage 18, his "cooking with Victor Campenaerts" videos on YouTube (which I didn't know about until this Tour), his training videos --- all of them show him to be a genuine, funny, self-deprecating human being and all-around good guy.
  2. I was also impressed by Almeida. He's only 25 and it appears that each year he's getting stronger.
  3. Love this photo.
  4. Tadej is going to win this time trial. He's taken more than a minute out of Jonas. Fuck.
  5. That finale to the second Newhart show was absolute magic. Best ending scene to any comedy show ever.
  6. There's going to be A LOT of switching of commitments between now and the first signing day. Mark it down. October, November and December will be unlike anything we've ever seen. Many of these recruits have been promised money that simply doesn't exist.
  7. The last 300 or so meters by Tadej today were simply unbelievable. He rode away from Vingo effortlessly. I have to believe Tadej is cheating. Nice to see an American in the top 10 again. Way to go, Matteo!
  8. They fired the coaches responsible for those championships and development. Meanwhile Texas has the guy who gave them a good draft two years ago, after his second season, a great draft last year, after his third, and what is projected to be another great draft, after his fourth, with three projected first round picks.
  9. None of the Texas players have ever won a national championship. Advantage: A&M
  10. Just got back from the memorial. It was packed. Great tributes, great stories and fantastic music.
  11. Ty Haywood commits to Alabama. That's two five stars in two days for DeBoer. Alabama now #1 class ranking in On3, passing Ohio State. At least he didn't go to Oklahoma.
  12. Agreed. Jonas did it more than 2:30 seconds faster than Pantani in 1998. Although, who's to say if the disrupted training didn't actually HELP Jonas? There's no way to say with certainty. Of course, with better equipment, better training, a deeper understanding of physiology and recovery etc ... better times are to be expected. Still ...
  13. So, I REALLY want this to be on the up-and-up, but Tadej climbed time Plateau de Beille 3:39 quicker than Pantani did in 1998. Things that make me say "hmmm...."
  14. I didn't claim that it was. The point that I quoted and addressed was different.
  15. Ronald Reagan was shot 43 years ago.
  16. They have heaters.
  17. So .... TWO Nutria pelts?
  18. Madison, Wisconsin
  19. Anding has run a 10.98 100m, a 21.73 200m, and long jumped 23'9".
  20. In his book, Lance talks about how, during the Tour, despite eating like 9000 calories per day, he's still lose 12 .lbs or so. The body starts cannibalizing muscle. Lance concludes that it's not a healthy endeavor.
