2008 Olympics thread - use SPOILER tags!

- Start date
The Bronze medal game is being carried on CNBC (DishNetwork 208) up here, too.
The Gold Medal game is going to be broadcast live on NBC on the east coast at 2:30 a.m. EDT (11:30 p.m. PDT). It will be tape-delayed on the West Coast and broadcast at 2:30 a.m. PDT. It's national coverage, so it won't change - now if you can get an eastern feed you might see it earlier...

Spoilers be damned
I believe that I was more moved by the gold medal accomplishment of our men's volleyball team than any other accomplishment in these olympics. I am certainly not saying it was our greatest accomplishment, but for me at least, it was the most satisfying and moving experience. Congratulations to Coach McCutcheon and his team. And again, my prayers to you and your family.

For the first time since 1984 the games will be less than a day's drive away from me, so I'm already super excited about 2010 and the prospect of attending a few events.
I actually think a large part of the reason I am so attached to the games is because of those 84 games where I was able to attend 2 or 3 days of track and field events in person.

Me too...
I was sucked in as a 9 year old during the Munich games.
I seem to put my life on hold for 2 weeks every 2 years also. I don't think I've gone to bed before 3 am for the past 2 weeks. (Lucky I work 2nd shift.)
During the '84 games, I lived right across the street from Cal State Fullerton where team handball was played, and attended the gold medal volleyball match with my dad...which the U.S. won over Brazil.
I paid 40.00 a ticket and could have sold them at the venue for 1500.00 each...which sure seemed like a lot more in '84! Needless to say, the experience was what I wanted,so I didn't sell....would I do the same today??
Yes.
