And he was right when he said "AND REQUIRE NO ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF SPORTS"
Thank you again jg for all you do and for making this happen... still true to this day "** special thank you to johngriffen for the wonderful idea and allowing me to expand on his vision", and special thank you to Fatima for jumping in and being the right hand that our froggy needed to continue to make this thread the success it is.
And thank you to all the members that continue to post in SC, new and old, lets make this winter Olympics as memorable as the previous one
Honestly, SC was quite intimidating for me initially since I wasn't really that big of a sports fan (the only sport I really follow is tennis and I have zero knowledge about football or hockey since they are not popular where I am) but I soon realised this contest is one of the most interactive and fun. Sometimes with a few games happening at the same time, I really think the mods for this contest deserve a big pat on their backs for working so hard to bring this thread alive
And now onto the Olympic..watching the Women Snowboard event now
