Doop Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Me too Dietz...love watching the games. Good luck to everyone representing the USA...especially Doug Schwab from Osage, IA in wrestling. There is not a more determined individual competing. I am certain of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PierBridge Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I also heard China has spent like 40 billion on the entire games can that be right?Don't forget the games will be airing on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Oxygen and for Direct TV customers channels 750-753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doop Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 man that's a lot of spinnerbaits and extra rod's and reels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 For Dish customers the olympic coverage is on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC-HD, USA-HD, Oxygen, and Universal-HD. There are also two special channels that are each dedicated to basketball and soccer (ch 365 & 367). They are in high definition too.Two more special channels feature "Team USA" and athlete bios (ch 474 & 473).Dish's interactive feature allows you to watch all six primary channels of Olympic coverage at once if you choose to do so. I've already got olympic fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMITOUT Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 WOW. What a finish in the 4x100 Mens swimming. It looked like they were beat and they came back in the last 25 meters to beat the Frenchies. Obliterated the world record in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Awesome!... The French were talking smack all week. Two down six to go for Phelps! Go U.S.A.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 your right dan,talk about putting words back into the frech mouth. That was a great race, and im glad that they finished strong and beat up on the french.Also nice to see Katie Hoof get the silver in the 400. She got tired at the end, thought she was going to take it home for the USA.We have to have the highest medals so far if not going to be on top this year.

Windy City Walleye Hunter Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 What sweet revenge. The frogs were talking smack about "smashing" the USA but like Toby Keith says, "We'll put a boot in your a$$ it's the American way". I think the frogs have a few Tony Lama's firmly wedged between their cheeks! GO USA!Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 its was great to see them beat them last night. I hope that phelps can get the record. You could tell last night that he was just hanging back and did just enough to get into the finals in the 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paceman Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I hate to admit it but last night was the first chance I had to sit down and watch the Olympics. I actually forgot they were on. Wow what awesome races. I had a hard time turning off the tube and going to bed. I'm sure I'll be checking in everynight from now on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzie Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 the relay race got me excited watching them close the gap and win it by .08.......amazing.....Go USA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDawg Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 it doesnt get any better than to beat the frenchies after they talk smack. why on earth would anyone talk smack to ANY race Phelps is involved in? Just goes to show you that although the 4 frenchmen are good swimmers, they dont have much between the ears. prolly makes them more bouyant.

Windy City Walleye Hunter Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 And even after getting their hats handed to them they still had that arrogant frog attitude! One of their guys in the race was quoted as saying that the .08 second finish was "just a fingertip" so it was not that big of a deal....ENJOY YOUR SILVER MEDAL, Froggie! we will do the same with our GOLD! I guess that was the "Gold Finger" eh?GO USA!Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
