USA wins gold!

I just watched the game against Spain and the USA, and we won!


Spain got the first goal of the game, and another one shortly after that, but the US held it tight for a couple quarters.  Then they got a 7-2 lead and kept that going for a while.  Spain got a couple goals towards the end, but in the end, US won 8-5.  Betsey Armstrong (goalie) even saved a penalty shot on them, which was awesome to see.


Here's a youtube video interview shot in 2009 with Betsey Armstrong.




(I'd link to some game video, but I didn't find any, and of course NBC wouldn't let any Olympic video on youtube)

Congratulations Betsey, and team USA :#1:


I went to high school with her

So I wrote about this years ago, here, but Betsey Armstrong is again in the Olympics playing goalie for the US Women's Water Polo team.




I keep meaning to catch games of her playing, but I've not been awake or around or just plain forgot when it was airing.  And I would watch online, except for the fact that NBC is a total dick corporation and requiring that you have cable or some other pay-for television service in order to log in and view their videos.  I have over the air television (as in, I get television over an antenna), that yes, includes NBC :roll:


Anyway, I just wanted to say that I know (well knew, having went to high school with her.  But we didn't hang our or anything like that) a person in the Olympics :)  It's a sort of cool feeling.
