But somewhere out there our own little bird Timmay found this scoop. Let's not squee prematurely but...

Texas coach Eddie Reese has been chosen to lead his third U.S. Olympic men's team. The coaches will be introduced Friday in Washington D.C.

This is looking fantastic for our Olympic hopes. Tune into the live for the official announcement to see if we can run amok.

Reese, Bauerle Named U.S. Olympic Coaches

"Eddie Reese is without a doubt the best coach in America, if not the world," Schubert said. "No coach in recent memory has had three world record holders and three Olympic gold medalists in the same program. His job at the 2004 Olympics in Athens as the men's team head coach, and the success he's had since, made him the hands-down choice to lead our men's team in Beijing."

So Squeee!! Amok Amok Amok! Congratulations to Coaches Bauerle and Reese on their appointment. And Congrats to Team USA as well. You are in great hands!
