Fantasy Olympics creates a conflict between patriotic loyalty to Team USA and rotting for my USA-excluded Fantasy Team.

But now my alma mater, Clemson University, has given me another conflict.  I found out that Figure Skater Evan Lysacek, who stands 2nd after the short program, is a cousin to Cole Chason, a former Clemson Punter.

So should I root for Evan because he’s related to a former Clemson Tiger Football alum?  Or should I root against Evan because Cole Chason was a horrible punter?  Ah, the conflict!

TEAM RUSSIA’S THEME SONG:

Swedish teammate Yngwie Malmsteen’s “Evil Eye.”

OK guys, I couldn’t resist. GO TEAM USA!

(Miley Cyrus Party in the USA + BIG Party and Bullshit= Party and Bullshit in the USA!)

Theme Songs

In my opinion every team should choose a theme song originating from one of the countries on their team.  For my team I chose Ecossaise in G by Ludwig Van Beethoven, one of Germany’s all-time best selling artist.

Here are some suggestions for the other teams:

Ra& Elijah:

In The Shadows - The Rasmus (Finland)

Be My Yoko Ono - Barenaked Ladies (Canada)

Stacey:

Truly Madly Deeply - Savage Garden (Australia)

Por Una Cabeza - Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera (Argentina)

Lee:

Fernando - ABBA (Sweden)

Mouse Loves Rice - Xiang Xiang (China)

Alright, Here’s a simple score update now that Lee and I are back from $3 32oz beer night at the mexican restaurant where we had them change the TV to watch men’s figure skating. (Russia was doing quite well for once)

USA- 37

Germany- 36

Canada- 31

Russia- 29

It’s starting out as a pretty close game!
