This is my Godson. He's not an Aggie, but his dad is. Going to go watch him in Paris.

I will be in Paris as well for the Olympics! I don't know any of the athletes personally, this is just a lifelong dream of mine to go!

Frag, will you be there on Day 1 of the Decathlon program the morning/afternoon track session on August 2nd?

Yes, I'll be there for both, as well as both the next day. I spent a fortune just to get in the stadium. Oh well, once in a lifetime.

My Godson, Harrison Williams, ended up 7th in the decathlon. Watching in person was an amazing and emotional experience. LA 2028.

Personally, I was completely disappointed by the 2024 Olympics. There is no longer the same competitive spirit as before

Been meaning to post this. My wife and I were in Italy during the first week of the Olympics. They had this big screen set up on the Tiber river with seating and a full service bar so stopped here dang near every night to watch the last events of the day.

Here are some pics during the Men's 10k with Grant Fisher grabbing bronze.
