The 2013/2014 Off Season Thread

[Poupou Escobar]

When it's a 'first to X' winning condition it's always possible to come back. It's impossible to run out of time so any comparison with a time limited sport (e.g. '20 mins to go') is stupid.

The tennis analogy is apt but.

I wonder if any of the Pakistanis had a bet on this outcome

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

This case is a bit different. The Americans got their boat running faster.

Well it happened. NZ committed sports most epic fail in sporting history. They lead 8-1 in a first to 9 race series and lost this morning 8-9.

That must be the equivalent of losing a tennis match being 6-0 6-1 5-0 40 love and losing 6-0 6-1 5-7 0-6 or maybe losing a NRL match being 44-0 up with 20 mins to go.

Don't keep us hanging, what happened in the 5th set?

Also, Phil Collins gets the thumbs up, too.

Finally, some good music being discussed.

Anyone for some Katatonia? (I remember someone else here is a fan...?)

That's me.

Riverfire Festival in Brisbane tonight.

The super hornets keep doing trial runs over the top of the Gutful household. I think I need a change of pants.

"Here's why my footy team is better than yours"

To be honest, I am not sure that we can use any of these to describe Parra.

I've seen George Rose run faster than Charlie Boy.

I' m not righting him off mate, but the first two home will only improve i think. He's still a good chance.
