SOME NEWS FROM THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE... BECAUSE FOLKS WE ARE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE RETURN OF RMAC FOOTBALL.. JUST 29 DAYS UNTIL COLORADO MESA OPENS UP THEIR SEASON IN TEXAS... AND THE RMAC HAS ANNOUNCED IT'S PRESEASON COACHES POLL FOR THE 2024 SEASON... VOTED ON BY ALL 10 COACHES IN THE CONFERENCE.... COLORADO MESA HAS BEEN RANKED 4TH IN THE RMAC... NOW IN YEAR 3 UNDER HEAD COACH MILES KOCHEVAR.... THE MAVSVS ARE LOOKING TO BUILD OFF OF LAST YEAR'S 6 AND 5 RECORD IN WHICH CMU FINISHED TIED FOR 4TH IN THE RMAC IN BOTH TOTAL RECORD AND CONFERENCE RECORD AT 5 AND 4... LAST SEASON WAS A 2-WIN IMPROVEMENT FROM YEAR 1 UNDER KOCHEVAR SO IF THE TREND CONTINUES THE MAVS COULD BE RIGHT UP THERE AT THE TOP THIS SEASON... AND NO SURPRISE ON WHO COMES IN AT NUMBER 1 ON THE PRESEASON COACHES POLL.... IT'S THE DEFENDING RMAC CHAMPS AND DIVISION 2 RUNNERS UP FROM LAST YEAR.... THE OREDIGGERS OF COLORADO MINES COMING OFF A 14-1 SEASON... AND NO SHOCK AT NUMBER 2... FROM GUNNISON.. IT'S THE MOUNTAINERS OF WESTERN COLORADO WHO FINISHED 10 AND 2 LAST SEASON.. MINES WILL BE AT STOCKER STADIUM TO BATTLE CMU ON OCTOBER 5TH... AND IT'S A RIVALRY SHOWDOWN IN GRAND JUNCTION ON NOVEMBER 16TH WHEN WESTERN IS IN TOWN TO TAKE ON THE MAVS... CAN'T WAIT FOR THOSE BATTLES... BUT LETS SWITCH GEARS TO THE GAMES OF THE 33RD OLYMPIAD... BECAUSE IT WAS A DAY IN PARIS... A DAY THAT SAW THE US MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM HAVE NO ISSUE WITH SOUTH SUDAN.... CRUISING TO A 17- POINT WIN THE GROUP STAGE... AND ON THE PITCH.... TEAM USA WOMEN'S SOCCER PUNCHED THEIR TICKET TO THE QUARTERFINAL WITH A 2-1 WIN OVER AUSTRAILIA..... THEY'RE A PERFECT 3 AND 0 TO START THE OLYMPICS.. AND HISTORY WAS MADE FOR FRANCE.... AS SUPERSTAR SWIMMER AND ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVIL... LEON MARCHAND BECAME THE FIRST SWIMMER SINCE 1900 TO WIN TWO GOLD MEDALS IN ONE DAY... BUT THE BEST THING I SAW TODAY WAS FROM A LIVING LEGEND... THE GREATEST FEMALE SWIMMER THIS EARTH HAS EVER SEEN... THE MACHINE... KATY LEDECKY TOOK HOME HER 8TH CAREER GOLD MEDAL IN THE 15-HUNDRED METER FREESTYLE... AND FOLKS LEDECKY DIDN'T JUST WIN... SHE WON BY A WHOLE 10 SECONDS... I DON'T THINK YOU REALIZE HOW LONG 10 SECONDS IS IN THE SPORT OF SWIMMING.. COUNT TO 10 IN YOUR HEAD... NOT A FAST 10... I'M TALKING LIKE 10 MISSISSIPPI... THAT'S HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR THE SILVER WINNER.... WHO'S NAME I WILL NOT TRY TO PRONOUNCE... TO FINISH AFTER LEDECKY WAS DONE.. BUT THE CRAZIEST PART ABOUT IT TO ME IS THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AN OLYMPIC RECORD... IT WAS JUST THE 8TH BEST MARK ALL TIME... THE OTHER 7? WELL OF COURSE... THEY'RE ALL LEDECKY... ACTUALLY THE TOP 20.... YES 20 BEST TIMES IN THIS EVENT ALL TIME ARE ALL FROM THE AMERICAN KATY LEDECKY... AN ABSOLUTE MACHINE.... LEDECKY HAS NEVER LOST IN THIS EVENT... I MEAN SHE'S PLAYING A WHOLE DIFFERENT SPORT THAN EVERYONE ELSE... SIMPLY A LEGEND... AND BACK TO BASKETBALL NUGGETS STAR AND NBA MVP NIKOLA JOKIC BECAME THE FIRST OLYMPIC BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER TO SCORE 10 PLUS POINTS, GRAB 15 OR MORE BOARDS AND TACK ON 5 OR MORE ASSISTS IN A GAME... AS THE JOKER LEADS SERBIA TO A 41 POINT WIN OVER PUERTO RICO... AND AFTER 5 DAYS OF OLYMPIC ACTION... TEAM USA HAS THE LEAD IN TOTAL MEDALS AS THEY'RE THE FIRST NATION TO 30.... BUT IT'S CHINA WHO HOLDS THE LEAD IN GOLD MEDALS RIGHT NOW WITH 9 GOLD.... THE US MEANWHILE RANKS 7TH WITH JUST 5 GOLD MEDALS THUS FAR.. BOY IT HAS BEEN A TRULY EXCITING OLYMPICS SO FAR AND WE STILL GOT 11 DAYS TO GO.. BUT THATS ALL MY TIME FOR SPORTS I'M BIG WIL LEVENSON.. TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRIPLE DIGITS TOMORROW AND FRIDAY WITH CALMER WIND SPEEDS. FIRE DANGER WILL DECREASE JUST A LITTLE BIT EVEN THOUGH THE TEMPS ARE INCREASING. THEN,
