Video? Yea, We Got Video!

Published by Suz under Club Wolverine owns us, Video

I took video of the final event of the Big Ten quad-meet over the weekend; the 200y Free Relay. Michigan’s ‘A’ squad — comprised of captains Jamie Martone and Matt Patton as well as Chris Brady and Charlie Houchin — took first in 1:19.41. Second place was claimed by Ohio State’s ‘A’ team while 3rd went to Penn State.

Watch the video below:

I’m enjoying my jailbroken iPhone entirely too much!

And I do have a small sampling of photos that I will eventually share here. I would have put this on MGoSwim, but the powers that be at RegFly, saw fit to charge my card for the domain renewal and then take the domain away from me. Bastards…

When Hip-Hop and Swimming Collide

Published by Suz under Video

And now for the latest news in the “Did You Know” files:

I was watching BET — as “The Handbook” requires me to do as an African-American — Young Jeezy’s verse in Akon’s song, “I’m So Paid”, includes a Phelpsy reference. You know Mike loved that. I’m not going to lie, though. I did roll my eyes. Add in the fact Akon’s voice is equivalent to nails on a chalkboard to me and we have a wonderfully memorable moment…for me to poop on!

On a serious tip, though. It’s great to have a swimmer receive a shout-out in any mainstream song. It’s a big deal. Immortalized in pop culture. Having said that, I would have preferred a Lochtenator shout-out instead. Maybe next time.

Watch the video below. The reference about 2 minutes in.

The Belated Lezak Ellen Video

Published by Suz under Doing the right thing, Video

I know, I know. I suck. That’s already been established many a time ’round here. Ask anyone.

Here’s the Jason Lezak video from his interview on the Ellen Degeneres Show back in September. I just know I capped it, but I can’t find it for the life of me! But, in my defense, I have over 300 GB of captured video from my TV card, so things sometimes get lost. It just sucks that it was Jason’s interview because he almost never gets tv airtime.

I’d apologize for the quality, but #1, it’s not my video (I found it on YouTube) and #2, any video is better than none, right? So enjoy!

I’ll have you all know that I do still have the Tara “What Not To Wear” video, and I know where it is! It’ll just take a little more effort to cut out the commercials because I have the attention span of a flea.

Now what was I saying again?

Guitar Hero Reaches Out to Phelps, Provides LOLZ

Published by Suz under Keepin' It Real, Oh Snap!, Video

The marketers of Guitar Hero went and signed the US sports world’s heavyweights for their new TV spot. You won’t get it if you haven’t heard of or seen the old Tom Cruise movie “Risky Business”.

It was nice of them to include Phelpsi in the ad with Kobe, Tony Hawk, and A-Rod. Also glad to see MP is letting his hair grow…

Regardless of the inclusion of swimming’s biggest name, it’s still Kobe Bryant FTW. Just keepin’ it real. It’s what I do.

LOL at Ricky Berens

Published by Suz under Caption This!, Olympics, Out n' About, Video

Ricky Berens poses with the USA gymnasts at the Today Show
Photo by Getty Images…please don’t come after us, kthnx

I saw this pic on the USA Swimming website and definitely let out a hearty laugh. Not just because Ricky dwarfs the US gymnasts, but also because of how hard he is cheesin’. Nice look, “Tricky Ricky”.

ETA: The video from the Today Show
