Monday News and Notes

Afternoon update: The New FEI Banned Drugs Database was just launched.

Duke fans handled our joking last week with poise, and a 'let's see if the hillbillies can walk the walk' attitude, and, at the end of this weekend, they are still standing and UK isn't, so I give them all the credit in the World.  Don't worry though, UK will be back next year after buying recruiting another stacked group of young players.

British equestrian team has set its goal for between 1 and 3 medals at the WEGs.  GBR won two (individual Gold and team Silver) in 2006 and hopes to repeat that and pick up a dressage medal as well.

3D3W: Gina Miles, 3D3W has a new url now so be sure to adjust your bookmarks and readers.  The new site looks awesome, great job Courtney!

Gal and Totilas win the FEI World Cup.  I'm not sure who the eventing favorite is for the WEGs, but I do know the dressage favorite.

16 Pennsylvania farms are having a parade of horse farms.

Judging Grand Prix dressage tests? There's an app for that

Zebra pizzas now offered in England.  That's pizzas made from Zebra, not pizzas made for Zebras.  "Hello...yes, I'm fine thanks...I was wondering, do you deliver to Virginia?"  Go eventing.

Oh look another ugly Duke player... and he seems to be almost whiter than his jersey... maybe Duke should make an outdoor basketball court for their team to practice on...

OneMore, I'm with you. That pic makes me nauseous. As if I wasn't sick enough over the weekend. I'm still in mourning. I can't stand to look at that.

Give me one good reason (or even a bad one) and I'll edit this post and remove the pasty Dukie. John, you should know better...!

Hey, John said it .. Duke fans handled last weeks comments well. You KY fans need to do the same! Look at the graduation rate of Duke players (one of the highest in the country!)and a coach that has been chosen twice to lead our olympic basketball team. They are a dedicated cohesive group of young men that are trying their hearts out to attain one their lifelong dreams. For the large percentage this is their "ROLEX" chance of a lifetime. We could only hope to attain something like this. Proud DUKE fan for life!

Along with many of my Big Blue Nation comrades, after UK lost on Saturday I went into a 24 hour sports media hibernation (except for EN of course), so I only learned that Duke had won their game this morning. Visionaire is one of the biggest UK fans I know, and truly bleeds blue, so she will probably not speak to me for days. But, as always, we try to evenly spread the love along with the joking here on EN.
