An effort to rally the sympathy vote, from today's Oregonian:

QUOTE

Oregon sophomore pole vaulter Tommy Skipper probably will miss four to six weeks of the early season after undergoing knee surgery last week.

The Sandy native underwent the arthroscopic procedure on March 21 to repair a small tear in the medial meniscus in his left knee, and doctors reported the procedure went well.

The injury occurred in mid-February, and Skipper opted to compete in three more meets, and won the NCAA indoor championships (18 feet, 41/2 inches).

FOUL! FOUL! eek!

PurdueFan obviously thinks Tommy can't compete looks-for-looks with sweet Alexandre and he is resorting to dirty pool. You won't see *any* such underhanded tactics from the sweet and innocent Alexandre camp.

He is sweet enough and cute enough and *ahem* big enough to win this whole King of the Hardwood competition. Tommy is just a little bump on the road to greatness!

One vote. That's all that is needed to break the 41-41 Despatie/Skipper tie. Chances are, you can make the difference!

Someone vote!!!

Andy Roddick is only 5 votes ahead of Adam Vinatieri. The boy vs. the man! A couple of races too close to call and I won't know who wins until tomorrow morning! How will I sleep tonight? wink :p

Wanna know something really pathetic, even more pathetic than NOT getting the Hard Wood joke: A little part of me was quite worried last night when I went to bed that I would wake up and Joey would have lost to Drew. Ugh, I need to get a grip.

BUT, the sun did rise on a day where Joey pulled through. A big thumbs-up to Illini for being such a good sport. He took the bashing of Drew with grace and aplomb.

Yeah! The adorable Alexandre won! Hardly a decisive victory, winning by one, but one is all it takes.

Yes, two snaps to Illini for being a sport!

However now, ML, we have a much bigger task.

How do we topple that behemoth known as Javy Lopez :confused:

You mean that toad-licking, non-recycling, crack-stepping, momma-back breaking evil-doer?

Well, we'll think of something. Maybe mention the fact that Joey doesn't have a serious girlfriend and therefore is still quite fair game for either your *team* or my *team*.

That was the most shocking comeback in the history of the KOTH competitions. I mean, at the beginning of day 2, down double digits, Despatie was dead in the water. I thought no way in hell was he going to pull out a victory. BOy, was I wrong on that one. Never underestimate The power of the bulge and in Despatie's case WHAT A BULGE!

I've been away for a bit but I'm back. It was my last minute vote that took Despatie over the top! Woo hoo!

What about Tommy's pole though? Have you seen the size of that thing?
