Sochi Viewing Guide Day 13

H/T @corkgaines 

I decided to change the format. It makes no sense to drop this in the middle of Sochi time. Why not do it around midnight, and make it run through the day until First Taste happens at 8:30 am. That's what we are going with here, and if you do not like it, I do not care. The format is changing basically giving you a timeline of what will be on television. I also will not post everything, just the marquee stuff.

What's on today?  
Happening Now:
We have a curling tie-breaker with Norway and Great Britain with the men and I have no idea what that means. I am a curling novice making me a bad Wisconsinite. Where can I find it: Stream

1:15 am - Men's Snowboarding - Snowboard cross where there are four Americans competing in this one. Two guys to keep an eye on... Nate Holland and Trevor Jacob. Also if you are wondering, yes this was here yesterday. They could not do it with the fog.  Where can I find it: Stream

2:00 am - Men's Hockey - Austria takes on Slovenia in the first classification game of the day, I would favor the Slovenians.  Where can I find it: NBCSN

3:00 am - Women's Skiing - We have the giant slalom featuring three Americans with Megan McJames, Juila Mancuso and 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin. I doubt they will get a sweep but a medal is not out of the question.  Where can I find it: Stream

Snowboard, biathlon delayed. Not a good idea to shoot at targets you can't see. RT @N8Holland: little foggy in Sochi pic.twitter.com/DGL0D9fb0l

This is why we did not get a snowboard cross today.

Someone is not happy about my ice dancing tweets. 

Canada thinks the Ice Dancing competition is fixed. Aww that's cute.  

Gus Kenworthy is styaing in Sochi for awhile to take care of his puppies. This guy will get laid for the rest of entirety.

Bobsled uniforms are a wee bit too tight.

Sochi Viewing Guide Day 9

First of all, I would like to extend an apology for not getting a viewer guide up. I straight up fell asleep after coming home from the bar, but I decided to change the format. It makes no sense to drop this in the middle of Sochi time. Why not do it around midnight, and make it run through the day until First Taste happens at 8:30 am. That's what we are going with here, and if you do not like it, I do not care. The format is changing basically giving you a timeline of what will be on television. I also will not post everything, just the marquee stuff.
