Season Heats Up

The first few post were obviously made by the same person(Chris can likely verify this through IP). Log in or reveal yourself if you want to have any credibility. If you want to be a wiseass go to the Sailing Anarchy forums.

Thank you Chris/Erik for another good discussion.

Prediction: URI wins the first Fall Moody Intersectional(moved from spring).

Let's just clear this all up. At the time of the Chalk Talk, the list of teams did not include ODU. That was simply a typo. ODU will be there and from what I understand with their top team. Chris and Erik cannot be faulted for that and people need to ease up.

I am sure they would have had some mentioning of the pre-regatta report was accurate. Can we now go back to sailing. The lady monarchs seemed to do pretty well last season flying under the radar. I don't think the misinformation is going to affect them.

If people want to disagree with chris and John's predictions then make your own, this whole site and video is for everyone''s benefit, to promote our sport, to help us learn about other teams.
Chris and John are doing an excelant job with their coverage and chalk talks, but here are my predictions, and something usefull in this post.
1. ODU for the win, they were ranked number 1 by a lot (13 of 16 first place votes) and with 2 of their top 3 skippers qualified for singles they are also fighting for a spot at acc's. They have 3 great sailors who ALL coud do well in FJ's or lasers.
for second I am going to agree with eric and say that SMC is going to pull through with their strong established womens A and B teams, along with the addition of Mimi in a radial also doing very well.
Third I am going to go with Yale, tough decision between Yale and Charlestown, but I think that Yale is going to pull it together here to round out the top 3 with their new freshman talent in the laser radial, going along with the theory of freshman doing well in lasers, I am expecting Lihan to finish top 5 in A, and for one of the new freshman laser sailors to do very well in c division, as far as B division I do not know the team well enough to say who that would be or how she will do.

Everyone is so quick to complain about Sailgroove's coverage, but you guys forget that only 2 years ago there was NO coverage of college sailing (outside of rankings). Chris, and all of the contributors, have done a great job creating a place for people to not only watch but discuss college sailing. Just the fact that you are here posting comments right after his video is added is proof of this. You just need to learn to zip it, if you don't agree with what Chris and Eric have to say then don't watch the video. On another note, Chris and all of the Sailgroove contributors I know many people that routinely check out Sailgroove for your coverage of college sailing. Keep up the good work and ignore those clowns with nothing good to say.

What are you people angry about? They picked the teams they think will do well, and if you're not one of those teams too freaking bad. If you want to be talked about during chalk talk then win the regatta. Shut up and sail.

I think it's pretty close to impossible for Chris and Erik to recognize every deserving sailor and program each week. In the end, they're doing a great job and should be praised for it. If you're not happy with the predictions, show them they were wrong on the water with performance.

Every sport has teams and competitors that always seem to be underappreciated. So what. By the end of the season, it will all work itself out.

Yeah, those whiners below are just mad they didn't get mentioned in the weekly report. Look, not everyone is going to get a shoutout. Think they're soooo off base, and they missed you? Why don't you show up and smoke the Navy Women's and give them something to talk about? And to help you do that, why don't you go practice instead of throwing a tantrum like a baby on sailgroove? (ok, I'm going sailing now)

Jeez- tough crowd. Maybe some of you guys should go sailing to blow of some steam instead of ripping on Chris and Erik.

previous comment was excessive...Ex Sailgroover should replace camel piss with the word bogus...something less offensive

This idea of chalk talks would be good if you used credible information. Do some research it is not that hard. I believe everyone that listens to your analysis of the womens events will agree that it is total crap.
