50 M Smallbore rifle. I just watched the replay and the American, Emmons looked like he had it wrapped up. I won't say I am a marksman, but controlling your breathing and holding your mark *should* be the same across all 10 shots. Emmons completely

If you haven't seen it yet (I'm not sure how you could avoid it) go over to nbcolympics.com right now and watch the world-record shattering 4x100 free relay effort from yesterday/last night. 5 teams in the event eclipsed the previous world record

I posted some time ago about how this article about Genarlow Wilson made me unhappy. Well, ESPN published a follow-up story covering his release from prison , finally. It still makes me unhappy that there are people who think the right thing was done

If you are a college football fan and happen to pull for a Big Ten team, I am sure you've heard of the flap between Comcast and the Big Ten network over carrying the fledgling network's programming. Unfortunately, for fans in southeast Michigan,

I came across a link to these killer sport shoes on boing boing, and I'd be curious if they feel as good as they look. Not quite as attractive as JJ Casuals , but they look pretty cool, and the concept is great. Birkenstocks make my feet happy, but

Yesterday a coworker mentioned she was trying to sell a couple of tickets to the Tigers game today and asked if I was interested. I decided to take the offer and get the boys out to the park. Of course, opening day (Monday) was sunny & 70. The forecast

Just have to throw out a little love for the Green and White -- great showing tonight at the Breslin Center against a top-ranked team. I enjoyed every minute of it, especially since I was at bowling -- in Ann Arbor (of course) and the various people around

Popped a 574 (157, 182, 235) last night on our first night back on the lanes. Considering I hadn't even moved the bowling bag since June (when it got stuffed in a pile in the back of the garage) I was pretty overjoyed. When you add in that I have

The Green and White take on the Idaho Vandals today, hopefully dispatching them in short order. The Sparties seem to usually do a pretty good job of taking care of business with the pre-season (not counting Notre Dame, they're practically a Big 10
