Lunch with Bryan Harsin
Have you ever wanted to sit down at a nice Mexican dive with our mad genius offensive coordinator, sip a few cold ones, and talk football for a few hours? Me too. Today's Longhorn Luncheon in the Erwin Center with Bryan Harsin and 300 other die hard Longhorns left that goal unfulfilled, but he did...
Confident in Howie Regardless
Howie Kendrick has been playing Left Field except when Alexi Amarista has been there. It is not exactly depth. But with Reggie Willits still looking for his first hit of the season and Vernon Wells making umpteen millions of dollars to post fifth-grade-level rhymes on twitter (too dogged to...
Cleveland Fan Confidence: A Scientific Inquiry. Part V.
I apologize for my long absence, though it can be readily explained. In my past exercises, I have tried to get to the source of Cleveland confidence, whether it be through interviews, or Internet postings, or even the weather. In these ways, I thought, I could isolate confidence from its many...
Boucher is not worried about being outshot, just focusing on the task at hand
Although the Lightning have come out with both wins while in Washington, no one is counting out the Capitals just yet. The Lightning were outshot by the Capitals 37 to 23 in Game 2 and have been outshot by the opposition 322 to 227 through 9 playoffs. With a day off before the back-to-back set of...

More Confidence for Evan Lysacek?
An article in the LA Times says that former U.S. Champ Evan Lysacek recently visited with choreographer Lori Nichols in Canada to tweak his programs. He wanted to get some more points out of the scoring system, but that's not all: Lysacek, twice a world bronze medalist and twice a U.S. champion --...
Czisny Might Upgrade Long Program Difficulty
Way down in this sort of unnecessary Fabulous Forum post about how Czisny is trying to be more confident this season (sorry, I'm burned out on these types of articles...I'm more in the "put up or shut up" phase of skating fandom), there is also a mention of how Czisny might add some difficulty to...
Alissa Czisny Tops Ladies Field after Short Program
Well, the ladies have skated their shorts and here are some thoughts on the top girls. Full results are below. Alissa Czisny (!) gets an exclamation mark because I love to watch her skate and am so happy she did so well (personal best, woot!). It was a great performance. I would love to see that...
Nerves Get to Kim In Short?
I haven't been able to watch the Grand Prix ladies short program yet, as I had to go to work, but International Herald Tribune is reporting that nerves and pressure of being at home did get to Kim in her opening skate, as she popped her lutz jump. Still - she's in first place (by less than a...
