   This is Gariela Andersen-Schiess from Austria. She ran in the inaugural women's olympic marathon in 1984 in LA. It was a compelling story, and I remember it very well. For you younger guys, it's well worth the ten minute watch.

   not sure how many of you watch or follow along, but there was an epic match this morning between Federer and Cilic. Cilic won the first two sets and had Federer at match point three times in the fourth set. Roger held him off all three times and came back to win in five sets. it was amazing.

    More NCAA hypocrisy

    I was watching the first game of the College World Series this afternoon (desperately hoping that Oklahoma State would lose, but I digress). During a commercial break, they ran the PSA that Billie Jean King made for the NCAA. I really hadn't paid much attention to it before, but today I watched the text that appeared on screen near the end of the spot: Prioritizing academics, well-being and fairness. Well being I might concede. What the NCAA prioritizes above all else is cash. They have their pet schools who can do no wrong, and their scapegoats who they go after at the drop of a hat. Until someone pointed it out, they had Johnny Manziel Texas A&M jerseys for sal…

    Baylor Fired Art Briles

    http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/5/26/11787506/baylor-university-football-report-art-briles This report is scathing. I can't believe Starr and the AD survived this. What went on at Baylor seems worse than what went on at Penn State. At Penn State they just turned a blind eye to allegations while the Baylor staff and administration not only turned a blind eye but they discouraged complaints, suppressed allegations, and ACTIVELY RETALIATED against complainants.

    tickets.masters.com If you don't know, masters tickets are only sold via a lottery. Even if I win, I probably can't afford the $100 a day tickets, or the flight and lodging. But hey, if you win, it would be a once in a lifetime experience. I can rent a car and sleep in it for 4 days right?

    Jim Healy Show memories

    Okay, after reading a thread on the Long Beach State Boardhost board about Jim Healy, I'm waxing nostalgic. Too many to decide on, but which Healy audio(s) stand out to you? I'll start with the U's very own Jerome Brown and the dinner with Penn State players before the 1987 Fiesta Bowl that would decide the national champion. "Did the Japanese go and sit down and have dinner with Pearl Harbor, before they bombed them?" "No, no, no!" "Fellas, let's go!"

    Man, what a bitch the false accuser is, but I'm glad she's getting hers now. Pretty cool to see Pete Carroll help Banks get a job in the NFL and a shot at making the Seahawks right out of jail. He's done a lot of this type of stuff. Any of you familiar with this story? http://sports.yahoo.com/news/exonerated-of-rape--brian-banks-realizing-nfl-dream-%E2%80%93-in-different-capacity-005927279-nfl.html

Plus impeccable character. Big game Friday morning -- Houston vs. Navy (9-1) with Navy having a chance to break into a major New Year's Day Bowl game.
