M.L. Carr (from Wallace, NC) won two basketball titles with the Celtics, as well.

This has nothing to do with NC State, but I wanted to make a post about M.L. Carr.

Don't think so. They don't do a 50m relay, which would probably be his best shot at another race.

I hear that the Canadians pay all of their athletes who win a medal (gold/silver/or bronze) $20,000 per medal...does the U.S. do the same for their athletes who win medals...or do they just leave it up for companies to sponsor them in order for them to get compensated? Just curious? B/C I know they all put in a shitload of practice/effort to get ready and train for years and stuff...so I was wondering if/how the USOC compensated our athletes for kicking ass during the Beijing games??

The USOC has paid prize money to its winning Olympians since 1984, this year giving out $25,000 to gold medal winners, $15,000 to those who take home a silver and $10,000 for a bronze. Some of the richer U.S. sport federations give additional prize money to their winners as well.

fuck TWC Navigator. I just wanted to go back and replay/record on to my computer the 4x100 race but of course it has to crash and reset for the 4th or 5th time today.. and all I have been doing is watching the olympics coverage. i don't know if it was an update or what that has caused it because it wasn't like this before i left to go out of down.

yeah I wish there were a few more celebration cam angles, like one of cullen's reaction from where he was, or like someone said earlier, maybe a cam where we could see President Bush hootin and hollerin and jumping around, I feel like that would probably be his reaction

Quote :
" Cullen Jones


6 In visiting with you, you really seem to love your school, North Carolina State – what do you like about swimming for the “Wolfpack”?

Cullen: I love the atmosphere they give you here – what the team gives you. When I was getting out of high school (in New Jersey) and looking at colleges – I didn’t have a problem moving far away from home as long as I had a “family” atmosphere. That’s the most important thing I was looking for. At the other places I looked at, that atmosphere just wasn’t as strong, in terms of the team staying together. I love it here. Coming back here after World University Games this weekend, people congratulated and hugged me…I know people would do that for anyone coming back home to school, but I could just see in their eyes – I could feel it – that they are proud of me because I am part of the North Carolina State family, that I am one of them, that we’re a family.


7 What’s a great memory you have from down there, especially since now you are in your senior year?

Cullen: They did something last season year for me – NC State did, I mean. And this is what I mean about family. We had our Wolfpack Appreciation Day at a meet against Georgia Tech. The Coach had called my Mom, who I thought would be staying home. I had no idea she’d be coming to North Carolina. Someone told me before the meet, “Make sure you’re wearing all NC State stuff.” I was like, “Okay, yeah, whatever” because I had no idea anything going on involved me. At the meet, they presented me with a ring for winning the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) 50 and 100, and had my Mom there. I mean…the time, the effort, the gesture – even the thought itself – that means so much.

It appears you also added Mestizos, who make up a significant portion of that 15%, and have zero african heritage.

So how long until the French accuse the US of using steroids...

That was such a beautiful ass kicking, bet if it were a German chasing him the Frenchman would have swam alot faster.

Really? I have seen some pretty pale Japanese people. Are they white?

well clearly they only consider 10% dark enough to be "black," since that's what they list on their demographics.

His name was Dave Velez I think. He won his heat, but only put up the 33rd fastest time so he did not make it to the semifinals. I think his event was the breast stroke.
