The game is going to be shown on Bravo at 7pm tonight along with the pseudo-sport of rhythmic gymnastics. It just says Men's volleyball, it doesn't specify USA vs Brazil, but I would hope that is what they are going to show. They also have it listed in primetime on NBC, which means they won't show very much of it  Bravo 7pm Men’s Volleyball – Semifinal Gymnastics - Rhythmic Competition NBC 8pm Men's Volleyball - Semifinals: USA vs. Brazil |

I assumed since the specifically mentioned USA vs Brazil, means that they would "show it" on NBC, and Bravo would carry the other semi.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm hoping they are showing it on both, but you're right, they probably are not. What is more likely is we will get to see nearly an entire match of the non-USA semi on Bravo and about 10 or 15 points of the USA vs Brazil match.

I was really looking forward to the rythmic gymnastics! NOT . . . I hope they give the indoor volleyball some much needed airtime - especially the USA match. I don't see any volleyball on Bravo anymore. Could this mean more airtime in prime time? Oh wait, synchronized swimming is included in the time slot. Bumped again. Looks like less than 1/2 hour of the match will be shown over a two hour time frame shared with track, diving, and "swimming". Boo hoo . . .  |

"Pseudo" stands for? Where is the line between real and pseudo? I said pseudo because, while it certainly takes strength and agility to perform, it is more like dancing than an athletic contest such as volleyball. It makes me slightly insane that rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming get WAY more air time than volleyball. I just don't get it. Don't get me wrong, I love gymnastics, it is beautiful to watch and the way they can tumble and flip and vault is just amazing. However, IMHO, rhythmic gymnastics is just one step too far away from a sport to be included in the Olympics and to get so much air time. |

There are several things that Pierre de Coubertin and the Greek gods never intended to be a part of the Olympic Games: hair ornaments, makeup, costuming, and artistic impression. All the crap belongs in a Vegas show.
