I am nervous too, and I think it's because THIS IS IT. There is no more building, no more improving, no more chances to lose, learn, and get better. This team deserves a gold medal, and they have more than everything to get one, and I just really, really, really, for them, want them to see this through. Most importantly, I just couldn't handle seeing them hand this to Brazil (not to say that I think they might). Whatever happens, happens, and I hope to have a big fat smile on my face in a few hours.

Just to throw in another random variable, the NBC streaming video listing page www.nbcolympics.com/online-listings/day=august-11/index.htmlsays 10:20am (Pacific). I guess that's when the pre-match show starts. The ohana watching from the Islands can watch it during breakfast (three hours before that). Six days ago, I came home from downtown Vegas, where I was staying at Main Street Station for a poker tournament... that and the California are ohana central in Vegas. I did manage to limit myself to just one package of beef jerky at the Cal's "Vegas 808" shop... tied for my low.

Falling asleep here waiting for it to start. Disadvantage of being in Shanghai. Can catch the match live, but at times in the wee hours.

I'm nervous. Ever since Brazil's bad play in the early part of the prelims they have played well, and they just might play their best match of the last 3 years today.... I want USA to win but I'm soooo nervous. They haven't played better since losing to USA, it's just that they haven't been playing USA. Today will just be further proof of how much better team USA is than the rest of the world right now.

Honolulu (Hawai'i-Aleutian Standard Timr) is 3 hours behind Pacific Daylight Time. I checked. That was 1 hour till it started.

I'm drinking San Pellegrino Limonata. If Brazil starts winning, then I might switch to Stoli Limonaya.

Nothing preps you for a gold medal volleyball match like watching someone get judged on how well they toss a hula hoop in the air. Thanks, NBC.

Don't disagree. That's why Cirque du Soleil is so popular.
Now let's see some pregame.

i just don't understand NBC. They could show it live AND show it prime-time. 2 different audiences. or show Russia vs. Australia .....or race-walking.
just don't get it.
