“The US choking” narrative has definitely been exaggerated.

We’re having an excellent games. 2nd in overall medal count, 2nd in overall gold medal count. This is our most golds of all time, and close to our highest medal count of all time, 37 at Vancouver.

So most golds ever, and 3rd most medals ever for our team. 2nd in Gold’s, and medals in this Olympics. The Men’s Hockey team can still win minimum a silver, and potentially a gold tomorrow.

I will say, we have missed a few opportunities though.

Chloe Kim silver on half pipe instead of the Gold.
Stolz silver in the 1,500 instead of the gold.
Stolz missing a medal entirely in the Mass Start.
Women’s Curling team dropping 2 straight to lose a medal.
Malinin, missing a medal entirely.

Had all those gone our way, you’re looking at 3 more total medals, and 3-4 more of our medals being Gold.

We’re having a huge Olympics, despite a couple moments we should have done better in. So I take that as a good sign. We’re having a big Olympics despite some mishaps.

Olympic Record has already been broken 3 separate times this event, with 2 more pairs to go. Pretty wild.

They have as good of a chance as anyone else does.

Baseball is a crapshoot and it’s always harder to predict a baseball champion than it is a football, or basketball one. There is much more parity in baseball, and sometimes it’s about a team peaking at the right time as opposed to the truly most talented team.

My gut tells me they repeat, but that’s also easy for me to say as a diehard LSU fan, because of Johnson, and what we’ve seen LSU do in the last 3 years. I mean LSU is frickin stacked.

If LSU does win it all, some of the talk about Jay possibly being able to surpass Skip in titles, and surpassing USC in titles etc will really heat up.

If LSU wins it all again this year Jay is the absolute best college coach in the country across any sport.

We just went toe to toe with a borderline elite Texas team on the road

You have to be trolling. Texas is 17-9, and 8-5 in the SEC after their win against powerhouse LSU.

We have different definitions of “elite”

Incoming Curiel 2 run single.

Damn, it’s going to be a fun season again, per usual. LSU flat out raking right now. This isn’t against a shite team either, Kent St. will be competing for a conference title, and a potential NCAA tournament bid.

Brown is going for 20+ bombs this year. Everybody in the lineup is spraying it all over the field right now.

Granted, I know nothing at all about Women’s hockey historically, but this has to be the greatest women’s hockey team of all time right? I mean outscoring their opponents 31-1 here at the Olympics, soon to be 5-0, and has not allowed a goal in over 330 minutes of play once this one wraps up.

I mean the second best women’s hockey team in the world by far, is Canada and we beat them 5-0 with ease. Outshooting our opponents by something like 160-170 shots in a 5 game stretch.

3 more strikeouts for a series record as a team. All but guaranteed with 5 to go.

I’m feeling a gold incoming…

Dobson is one to keep an eye on for LSU moving forward… he’s the #1 ranked CB in the country, and the #3 overall player in the country. Dobson was high on LSU even with Brian Kelly at the helm so that should tell you something. Dobson loves the LSU program and Raymond. If I had to make a prediction, and keep in mind this is VERY EARLY, LSU leads for Dobson right now, and I can see a scenario where he winds up at LSU.
