not trying to be mean, but reading "Schmucker" first thing this morning cracked me up...

 

[Spun Silver]

Toni, that IS mean. Go to the doghouse!

What an enticing lineup! I hope lots of people will watch!

 

[Trewyn]

Emily and Evan back to back performances with their new partners! Love it! Too bad I can't watch. Have fun guys!

 

[Pikachuusb]

I can't wait to watch!! The lineup looks great I'm bubbling over with excitement

I can't wait to see Emily & Todd's new and improved programs since Cup of China. I wish them the best of luck I also wish the Shibutanis and Charlie & Meryl luck as well

 

[tulosai]

Is there anywhere to watch other than IceNetwork? None of Nationals this year is on TV is it?

 

[Spun Silver]

It's limited but not nonexistent. TV schedule:

Thanks so so much! That's actually better than I had hoped

 

[dorispulaski]

Can't wait for tomorrow!

 

[BackStage Barbie]

I'l be doing my Live play-by-play right here http://backstagebarbie.blogspot.com/2012/01/1-carina-glastris-kevin-allison-tes-pcs.html

 

[colleen o'neill]

Good luck to everyone's favs

I can see nothing until NBC's coverage tomorrow. I don't expect we'll see anything of the SD. Will there be hope for YouTubes at some point , or is that likely to be nailed right down ?

 

[icemusings]

I'm doing live coverage and analysis over at http://icemusings.blogspot.com/2012/01/us-nationals-senior-short-dance.html

 

[Spun Silver]

Doris, if you have time, could you possibly post a link to that tutorial thread you did recently about Ice Dance levels? I can't find it. Thanks!

 

[Spun Silver]

Schmucker and Munday were fun to watch! Quite a nice Latin feeling. She'd look so much better without the leg warmers though!

 

[dorispulaski]

NBC has been broadcasting the SD of the winner in the weekend coverage of GP's--if they do, I hope there will be a youtube of that; there generally is.

I believe the commentator is Kim Navarro?

I'm still laughing about someone dancing to a song about salt cod & potatoes (first couple)

 

[Spun Silver]

Finally, some nice hip action! (Hoptmann)

 

[dorispulaski]

Good crowd respones for Hoptmann & Filchenkov
Kim says she has had a lot of injuries

46.27 into 1st for 3 couples skated.

Barbie, are you there or watching on line?

 

[dorispulaski]

Wish I was there!

Olson & Cowan did really well at Lake Placid. They were 2nd at Pacific Sectionals

This was a good outing.

The lift was creative, good twizzles, and I liked their timing.

I wasn't crazy about the first rhumba sequence.

heart drawing action in the KnC.

53.44 into first

Next group warming up
Shibutanis are in the next group

*Ahem* Christian Schmucker came to the United States from Switzerland in 1752. His great-great-grandson J.M. Smucker founded the Smucker's Jams and Jellies company, today one of the major sponsors of figure skating in the U.S.
