GF is talkin beach

but I wasn't in what he quoted

does anyone else find it annoying when people try to change how a last name traditionally sounds? How the hell do you get Natalie COGGLIN out out of Coughlin? I've never, ever heard it pronounced COGG-LIN...always COUGH-LIN

I've been trying to remember how she pronounced her name when I met her...I'm pretty sure it was actually the second pronunciation and not the latter, but still not sure...

I said Logan Tom though and that they were playing Cuba. Who did may-treanor/walsh play? I'm just curious...

then you're saying the announcer is making up that pronunciation? if so, what a goober...

I'm not sure. I'm almost positive she pronounced it "Cogg-lin", provided my memory serves me right of course. Most people pronounce it phonetically though.

OK, so you're saying that's how she pronounces it like I said...weird.

This is some intense gymnastics, China just wrecked on the vault and parallel bars.

US will probably either get bronze or get silver by a sliver. Japan has the high bar to go, and the US is left with the horse, which traditionally has low scores. They were decent on floor exercise (Horton was clutch like he has been all day), but the 2nd guy stepping out of bounds twice was killer. This is so fun to watch though. The US team has already exceeded expectations in my mind, without the Haam twins.

[browntown653]

Especially with Harold and Kumar on the horse. OK, make fun of me, I'm racist

[NYgiantsfan5689]

The US is done. Now we wait for the Japanese to finish. This is gonna be close....

That last guy tore shit up, great ending performance.
