Sorry we were slow on the posts today... our first game at 8am was against Team Illinois. Getting up at 5:30 am is officially our least favorite part of Utica and the Curling Nationals. But we had lots of energy today. Donna was on the feed calling the game and doing a great job. We were up to about 65 viewers at one point. We all think Donna has a future in sports commentating and they need to bring her to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics to call all the curling games... or at least the ice dancing....
We started off super strong - the 2 rockstar highlights of the game were the 2 amazing triple take-outs by all-stars Jen G and Cindy - those shots have been the talk of the curling club today. Bond Girls rule!!!
The game didn't end in our favor - everyone made some really solid shots, we had a few bad luck ends, and missed a few - but we picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off and got ready for the 4 pm draw against Team North Dakota.
I'll let Donna our resident beat report chime in about the excitement of the 4pm draw.... (yes - we were up by 3 going into the 10th end and ended up needing to play an extra end when North Dakota took 3.... bad Skip!) But don't worry... it's a Hollywood ending. :)

It was so exciting.I had to keep postponing dinner. Poor Dennis almost starved to death. I am officially a curling Fan .At least a Bond Girls Curling fan. Not sure how my excitement will transfer to nameless people I don't know.
