Wow: When I envisioned a new reality TV show to replace the lost diamond of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, I came up with 800 U: Winner Take All. Now I can really imagine the series come to life on ESPN 8: The Ocho. The first episode aired in my mind last night. Imagine a really slick opening sequence like this one from Dodgeball: A True American Underdog Story.

A heck of a marker was laid down in Episode One: A 600 Is Like A Really Fast 800!
Penn State's multiple Record Holder Casimir Loxsom added another American Record to his quiver, taking away Eric Sowinski's Indoor mark in the 600 M with a stellar opening 1:15.58. This was done at altitude in Albuquerque.*
*And don't any of you idiots tell me how altitude actually helps you in a 600M race. I know a little physics and a little physiology. And go ahead and make the argument of "a soft record". Cas actually acknowledged that in his interview. His interview after AN AMERICAN RECORD!
