I am humbled and in awe of the way our community has pulled together to host this year's Special Olympics. The Montana State Special Olympics Staff is outstanding, the volunteers are serving selflessly and working extremely hard, and the athletes are both inspiring and wonderful teachers of what it means to have sheer joy in merely living life every day...I encourage any and all individuals to get out to see this year's Special Olympics! Bring your families, bring your children...what a great opportunity to share in this great event! I have most definitely shed a tear or two today at The Games. Welcome, Special Olympics Athletes, to Bozeman, Montana!
There have been two nearly fatal
matador gorings in a week's time.
One occurred Sat in Mexico, the
other Weds in Spain. This is a
barbaric blood sport as evidenced
by the graffic videos available
on YouTube. The horses used in
this event are also abused. When
will this nonsense end? It reminds
me of gladiators in Roman times.
Bloodthirsty spectators watch for
entertainment, hoping there will
be an exciting incident. Soccer
and Football are tame in comparison.
1. Should the USA let it's hockey players back in the country after the loss to Canada? 2. Do you think Lindsay Vonn really is sorry that Manuso had to stop her ski run because of her crash? 3. Is figure skating really a sport because they call what they do performances, and because they wear costumes? 4. Do you suspect that people who do curling probably usually drink beer when participating in that? 5. When all they do is help the bobsled to get moving, why do members of the team other than the driver have to ride in the thing? 6. Why can't skiiers in the biathlon be able to use their guns on racers who are trying to pass them?
I actually met someone today who is not from Indiana who is rooting for the Colts in the Super Bowl. Because the Saints have never won the Super Bowl and because the city of New Orleans really deserves something to celebrate, I kind of assumed that to want the Colts required one to be from Indiana. Of course, Indiana doesn't have much going for it either. Other than the fact it's not Ohio. No one else around here, wants the Colts, right?

As a parent of a Laurel softball player, I am offended that the Belgrade softball coach would state that the Laurel team chanted "face" after beating his team. Then interpreted it as "in your face" as reported by Will Holden of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle is just ludicrous. I was 10 feet from the girls when they said "State" in reference to their confirmed birth to the state tournament after Tuesday win. It was the same cheer they have said all year. Their goal all year has been to get to state. These young ladies and their coaching staff have conducted themselves in a very respectful manner to all their opponents all season and to have a disgruntled coach make such a derogatory comment is very upsetting to all involved. To bad the Belgrade coach doesn’t hold himself to the same standards of conduct that this fine group of high school girls do. Way to go Laurel!
doe,s anyone think gruden is a good replacement for madden?or will s/n/f flop? personally i love s/n/f but gruden?he,s a legend in his own mind and really is there not a better choice then gruden?.

Something more interesting than the economy and unleashed dog issues.
The MSU Bobcats Men's Basketball team has an amazing win last night over #1 seed Weber State; they are now 1 win away from an NCAA tournament birth ... where do I have to go to find that information online? The Billings Gazette!
The only sports headline for the online Bozeman Daily Chronicle today is "Around Montana: BSF pair places third at Jr. Nationals". That is a great story and I don't mean to take anything away from the BSF kids. But, come on Chronicle! If you really want to people to rely on you for relevant local information, then step it up a notch! I would really love to support the local paper, but I can't support it if I can't find relevant local information there. 
I came across an article recently naming Warren Buffett the wealthiest person on the planet. Why is this important? Well, Warren Buffett happens to be a great supporter of the Direct Selling/Network Marketing Industry. Some background: Warren Buffet is arguably the greatest investor EVER. When he moves his money, everyone on Wall Street stops and watches. So when he bought three Direct Selling companies, one of them being Pampered Chef, he more than turned heads. He’s even been quoted as saying, “they’ve been some of my best investments ever.” When it comes to business, it's good to have someone like Warren in your corner.
And he’s not the only one.
I am a huge Super Bowl fan. I was so disgusted to hear that Bruce Springsteen will be performing at the half. Why must they foist this phony upon us? He started out with the farcical notion that he was just an every day, "blue collar" kind of guy. He wore those sleeveless wife-beater shirts and torn jeans jackets and made a tough face. That was about the extent of it. He is still trying to push that image. In the meantime he has gone through some notable changes.
Besides plugging in a guitar, he plugs in his hair. You know, millions of years from now some alien will dig him up and deduce that we were somehow able to bring life to dolls. Instead of pumping up the crowd he pumps up his face with botox. Instead of lifting weights, he lifts his face. He makes exaggerated grimmaces while strumming a simple three chord song. I don't know if it is a prostate problem or if his fingers are just sore. It is so odd to see someone grimmace and not see a wrinkle in their face. He is a sad cliche in black(like nobody...
For some reason my chickens are laying eggs like there's no tomorrow - production is up about 70%. Do you think they're gearing up for winter, or is it a sign of something more ominous?
what a pathetic display vs kansas state....special teams, penalties,talent-wise, coaching wise...etc etc...it could have been 100-0....easy....almost at half time
what in the world but for money talks are these idiots trying to play division I football....they should be NCAA II....that is where they are competitive.... to me ... no matter what the cats do the remainder of the season that game and score leave a lasting scar on what the program really is about... a lack of talent, discipline and coaching from top to bottom
Is anyone watching the daily broadcastes of the Olympic
competitions? It's nice to see young people in top form working so hard at what they are good at. They will be the future world leaders, I hope. They are good examples to us all right now.
We live up Bridger canyon road. we have to pass bicyclers daily. Most of them if riding with another biker, do NOT care about vehicle traffic, they figure we will go around them! It is not only dangerous but very madning too see there lack of concern of vehicle traffic. We have to abide by the laws on road ways, but still are expected to give them the right of way. This is a bunch of bull. The speed limit on that road is 70 miles an hour, but once again we are expected to slow way down till they get out of the main traffic lane. They need to stay on the right side of the white line, or pick a road that is not so heavily traveled, or the city needs to build them a bike lane!!
I wasn't able to watch any of the main Rodeo, but the Head to Head machup between MSU and U of M - West was great! It was a great show and a great opertunity for family's at a very affordable price. I hope they keep doing it. I normaly just like to watch the Bull riding, but I have to say I enjoyed all of it.
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on why this community doesn't get behind and support high school athletics more than it does? This thought occured or renewed itself when they had the Class C basketball state finals in Belgrade about a month ago. Some communities had half their towns here, it seemed. We have a lot of other things going on here with college sports, and other recreational opportunities. But the high school generally has a good "product" for most sports, and the Legion baseball team has a great facility. These are kids playing for the love of the sport. They aren't playing for tuition or money. Yet it seems like it's parents and relatives that are the only ones in the stands.
A pass or a family pass is the best value around. In Billings, with 4 high schools, high school sports are huge. The local paper sponsors a website just for prep sports. What gives with Bozeman?
It is time to gear up for spring. So for all your cycling needs visit the Bike Swap on April 19 at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds. The Gallatin Valley Bike Club sponsors an annual bike swap which is open to the general public on Saturday, April 19 from 11am to 1pm. If you are hoping to sell stuff, it must be at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds between 8 to 10am that morning. Swap organizers note that a variety of items are generally brought in for consignment including kid bikes, bike trailers, mountain bikes, and competitive racers. A percentage of the sales supports the Gallatin Valley Bike Club, a non-profit organization that provides recreational and competitive activities for area cyclists.
Is the Ultimate Warrior really from Bozeman? Are rumors true that he played Bobcat Football in the early 80's before joinging the WWF?
