rob fails yet again to title a post

While William & Mary's basketball programs (men's and women's) haven't met with much success in the modern era (though Thursday marked the 60th anniversary of Tribesman Bill Chambers' NCAA-record 51 rebounds against Virginia), the Tribe's Olympic sports have traditional been CAA and even national powers. W&M's men's cross country team has captured the last 12 conference championships, while the women harriers have won 7 of 9.


Freshman Emily Stites looks to be the latest in a long line of stellar W&M runners. Two weeks ago on a muddy course outside of St. Louis, Stites dominated the field to capture the USA Track & Field junior women's national championship. Stites finished more than 21 seconds faster than the runner-up to become the first W&M freshman to win a national championship of any kind.

Team G:TB finds this very cool.

Brandon Britt, y'all

rob said...

you go to the tribe club event, clarence?

Clarence said...

I didn't. Didn't know I was going to the game until 5 til noon. Alum of the Year.

rob said...

tribe, as per their norm, allowing a mediocre team to hang in, causing more nervous moments for us than are necessary.

Clarence said...

Tribe wins!! 74-62. ODU is terrible, but the Tribe made them look pretty good.

i met the anti-clarence last night. wife and i went to a gala fundraiser for a local charity. sat at a table with four other couples, only one of whom we knew very well. one of the other dudes spent the entire evening reading his kindle at the table, completely ignoring everyone else. it was fucking bizarre.

i won a silent auction prize from a local brewpub that included several special special brews and a gift certificate, so - score.

i won't be taking doctor kindle with me when i use the giftie.

Sunday. 10 PM. Palladia. Lemmy documentary. Equal parts awesomeness and sadness, with lots of scenes that fit into both categories. Watch it.

TR said...

Anybody else slightly drunk, watching the NBA events?

TR said...

Dominique and Bob Horry are looking a bit less svelte than I remember.

TR said...

Dwayne Wade is rocking a Color Me Badd-meets-Run DMC look.

TR said...

Skills Challenge is unwatchable.

I'm still bummed the Legends game stopped. Stupid Rick Barry blowing out his knee because he was trying too hard.

TR said...

When your dad is Nike CEO Phil Knight, you can have a bio like this: "Travis Knight is an American animator, film executive and former rapper."

No, he's not the former NBA stuff. Yes, he was a producer of Paranorman.

LeBron and Chris Paul are hellbent for leather.

I am out of scotch. Sadly, this is probably good news.

TR said...

The Friday Night celebrity game just isn't the same without Donald Faison.

zman said...

Or Frankie Faison.

TR said...

The 3-point contest is always a good opportunity to root for a white man.

TR said...

Bledsoe announced as from the Lakers. Strong.

TR said...

Rudy T's hair is not looking strong.

TR said...

Durant's shirt is bedazzled. Horrendous.

Mark said...

Strong performance by TR tonight. I am also slightly drunk watching NBA events. James White getting a 45 for a two handed dunk from just inside the free throw line is total bullshit.

TR said...

They should show the replay before the judges vote.

TR said...

Carmelo appears to be going for the gay sailor look.

Mark said...

Absolutely. Those glasses. That jacket.

NBA players dress like my oldest sister in the 80s.

Jerry said...

Dear Internet,

You liked the dunk contest better when you were a kid....because you were a kid.

All the best,

Jerry

Mark said...

Go home Jerry, you're drunk.
