BDL Live Blog: Team USA vs. Australia, 8 a.m. EST

By J.E. Skeets

It's do or die. There's no tomorrow. Sports cliché, sports cliché, sports cliché. Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to today's USA-Australia quarterfinal match-up. This morning we'll be joined by the regs — Trey from The Blowtorch, Matt from Hardwood Paroxysm, and Bulgarian Quidditch Seeker, Tas Melas. We'll be here all game, so send us a comment. If the robots find it funny, insightful or awesome, they'll add it to the running commentary. The game starts at 8:00 a.m. EST. See you then, mate.

    Who gives a crap about the Dumb Team.
    It's pathetic the Olympics has turned into what it has. Now they are talking about having golf.

    I hope they get some refs that cheat the hell out of the Dumb Team. Nothing I'd like to see more than them lose.

    I got the popcorn, Fosters (to pour on the Aussie's graves after the game) and my Jason Kidd 4 Olympic MVP sign. Let's get this chat going!

    The only game I was worried about was against china. It seems
    like all the refs and so called non biased judges seem to lean
    toward the Chinese. Until they find a fair way to judge the games
    will be a joke!!! These judges need their bank accounts investigated.
