Curious how he would describe throwing a vault board at a gymnast. Motivational tactic? A expression of heartfelt concern?

There's a handful of other Birminghams, but the ones in England and Alabama are by far the largest.

I remember UCLA rolling up with those crazy open backs around 2000 and going "no, just, no." I don't want to have to duct tape my boobs down because the leotard won't allow me to wear a supportive undergarment to participate in an athletic event. And it's only gotten worse since.

that 70,000 for Minneapolis would be the venue selling out all 4 nights. As to how many unique people attended in total, no idea. Probably more like 20,000.

Spencer gif'd a portion of Jay Clark and the meet referee

If not for the back, this would be such a slam dunk retro-ish leo. Although when it comes to NCAA leos, the back isn't awful.

Mary Clare, Little Birdie is absolutely enraged that Russia can't send a hockey team and he is being denied the opportunity to see Alex Ovechkin play in the Olympics. Like, this is some sort of personal afront to him. Hilariously, Little Birdie thinks we're all lying when we say Canada is the...

I hate those backs, too, but now I will never look at them again without thinking "boiled ham netting" Reading CGN's leo reviews, it's obvious to me that I'm either completely old and out of touch, or the children are wrong. They love wild strappy backs over there. A FIG-compliant back would...

I'll cheer for Canada in everything but hockey. Go Sweden/Finland/Czechia.

Yes, Heff! I couldn't remember her name. Truly vile person.

I absolutely agree that Jay Clark has his hand on that judge's arm. Watching it unfold live, and admittedly not being a Clark fan, I thought he was increasingly out of line. But the touching of her arm and leaving his hand there for an extended period of time, really really really rubbed me the...

That particular person was from Canada and was just so much better than the rest of us because while she was in a committed hetero relationship, she was not married. And I wanted to be like "the reality in the US is pretty different. Now shut up, enjoy your cradle to grave health insurance, and...

OMG, I had totally forgotten about the collective yarn obsession! I think I met Miki at 2006 American Cup. The details are a bit fuzzy; it was a long time ago, and the whole weekend I was like "these people are even more insane in person then they are online." A bunch of people came in from all...

Sadly, far from the worst back we've seen this season.

I'm glad to hear that. I chatted with him fairly frequently in the early 2000s. Do I remember correctly that he had one of the rare VHS copies of Olomouc? Or do I have him confused with a different knowledgeable, prolific male poster?
