Well, its that time. La Tunisie plays its first game in the 2006 World Cup. They face off against Saudi Arabia at 11.55. I think that it will be a good game, but at the same time I feel like Tunisia is a different league. That isn't to say that it will be a blow out, but I will be shocked, depressed, dissapointed, and pissed off if Tunisia loses, ( Read more... )

Ok, so its that time again. World Cup 2006 is upon us. For me this is by and large the biggest and most important sporting event of the year. I love football so this is heaven. At least 3 games a day, live on TV with intelligent commentators, what more could you ask for? Well, I could ask them to talk less about the US team when they aren't playing ( Read more... )

So, I must say that I was sorely dissapointed with the 2006 edition of the Giro d'Italia. Don't get me wrong, there was some good racing and some spectacular stage wins, but there was no competition for the GC during the last week.

During ( Read more... )

So, I know that everyone is wondering why I haven't written anything lately. Actually, I am sure that no one cares, but I will write anyway. The end of the semester was crazy with my thesis and all, but its over with for now. My thesis advisor assured me that I stand a good chance of getting it published if we can edit it for a journal (read as ( Read more... )

Ok, so apparently Livejournal does't like me today. So, check out the pictures for yourself at www.cyclingnews.com. The results and photos for the Ronde can be found in the left-hand colum. Check it out.

I am sure most of you dont care about bike racing, and care even less about the riders themselves. That being said, I am still going to give you my reaction to yesterdays Ronde van Vlaanderen. My pre-race favorite, Peter van Petegem didn't really dissapoint as he came up with 4th place. Unfortunately his team just wasn't strong enough. I would ( Read more... )
