Scheduling update: I saw on a few different sites last night that the two Women's Beach Volleyball teams would be facing each other today, but checking schedules for tomorrow it appears there... So I'm guessing it's happening tomorrow instead of today.

Haha that was probably my fault GS. I was behind for all the swimming yesterday so I never got to partake in the Friedman Phelps hilarity last night. My post this morning on it probably bumped it above today's thread at the time. Heaven forbid CP doesn't know my thoughts on that..
