In your best Marv Allen voice. :)

First quarter sucked. They played like the Suns.1-5 basketball. They were a different team after that. They started passing the ball. Now it's a romp.

US crushes Serbia for the gold medal. We were up over 40 at one point and finish with the 30 point win.

Durant with the big 30 points. Pretty impressive. Glad they gave it a better effort in the gold medal game. Wasn't the most exciting Olympics in terms of basketball but I'm always glad to see another gold.

I was really proud of my school, Stanford. We won a bunch of medals. I read that if Stanford were a country, we would have been like 7th or 8th or something in terms of most medals, right near as many as Japan. Heh.

Here's an article on medal count by college. Stanford with 27. California as a state combines for about 50% of US medals.

Makes sense. It is the summer olympics, and you can train for those sports year round in Cali.
