There is also the flip side of relief when you pay for something fancy and it’s not any better. Like thank god I can go enjoy my trash in peace now.

Making my @edsbs.bsky.social #CharitibundyBowl for @newap-georgia.bsky.social in honor of the specific color pink Hugh Freeze turned during his halftime rant against UGA. Thank you brother Hugh, for helping UGA get its NINTH consecutive win in the deep souths oldest rivalry

I lived under a mile away for a year in some “new” apartments and used this fact to bamboozle more than a few friends and family into a uhh false impression.

I was very impressed how quickly they turned around a passport… only for them to put the wrong Gender and have no immediately obvious way to get it fixed quickly.

“Just happy to see that shit go in” this dude is a legend.

Lmao duke

I went to take a shot of it with a buddy at a pregame, and a random girl none of us really knew joined in.

I could feel the hole forming in my esophagus, meanwhile this girl looks at us, calm as could be, and asks us if we want to take another. I’ve never felt such an awe/fear combo.

Georges sounds like an absolute parody of himself every time he gets on the radio

WHOMST COULD HAVE FORESEEN

Terry no!

I am not built for this life lmao

First chance Ferrari to bungle a strategy call we are so back

Wait. Are these regs going to actually slap?? Could it be???

It was a fun 2 laps before George disappears at least.

I think it’s pretty similar, but if you go watch Olympic trials (in swimming, at least), the OVERWHELMING reaction/feeling of most people who make the team is just relief. The games itself you can be free and fun, but trials is the same “please don’t fuck this up”.

Good morning Peachy

Klaebo again. It is stupid to have that same level of kick from a 4 minute race all the way up to a 2 hour race. Just silly.

“So let them try to touch God. And don’t ask them to tell us what they see.” Is an incredible statement and sums up so much of what the Olympic experience means to me.

The whole point (to me) is about pushing boundaries that others can’t see and just in the name of exploring what is out there.

Yeah fair. Having lived/spent time all over east and south east GA the last few years it’s just stuck out to me a lot more (or people were just more open about it?) than when I was in Atlanta and Athens.

The problem with getting these country boy QBs from the far corners of the state means probability says you’re likely gonna get some real (redacted) politics

I know this is my biggest stick-in-the-mud topic #onhere so I have to try not to ruin it too much for other people.

They were also relatively strict about curfew (don’t want to distract the people still competing, which is fair) so most people were happy to get out of there. Some people even chose to leave early for that reason.

USA kicks you out when your event is over (or used to). Not enough beds for everyone to be there the entire 2+ weeks so they rotate you in/out.

Klaebo man is just too cold. Also that team event is dope, need more of that in other sports

It did not make me feel any better.

You touch on it in the column, but I don’t think the average person appreciates how disheartening knowing the next shot is in FOUR YEARS. I get angry now if my local Popeyes is out of spicy and I have to come back in a week.

It’s not a ‘fun’ answer, but I almost did this exact thing in 2015 when I fucked up Olympic trials in the 10k in 2015. Got out of the water, walked/stumbled half a mile down the beach/lake, and told everyone who came near me to fuck off.

The men’s slalom… what just happened.

Seeing this interview and not sure why people are dunking on him. He’s confident, he’s the best in the world, and yeah in his words he blew it. Onto the next one.

There is nothing - truly nothing - better than looking over at someone in the last 5% of a distance race and just knowing you have their ass completely.
