If you looked up "rollercoaster ride" in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, definition number one would be "the United States curling experience at the 20th Winter Olympiad."
The men dropped their match yesterday to a laughable Italian team, and then came back strong today with a 10-6 stomping of then-first-place Sweden. The men are sitting pretty at 3-2, although that loss to Italy hurt them. They must win tomorrow and Saturday against Germany and Switzerland, respectively, and then split their matches with Canada and Great Britain (who are both currently ties for 1st at 4-1) if the US Men want to ensure that they advance to the medal round.
The women, after crushing Denmark yesterday, fell 5-4 today to the Lady Swedes in another heartbreaking match in extra ends. The women are now at 1-4, with 4 matches left, and essentially out of the running to advance to the medal round. But at least the Johnson sisters still look hotter than any other female curlers.
The wife and I will be heading to a wedding tomorrow, so Hair Band Friday will be on the road. I know this may upset many of you, but you will just have to wait another week to see just how absolutely glorious Fridays can be. Until then, be good to each other.
