I'm not sure what happened, but Sprockets stopped pulling in my stylesheets.  This manually compiles them in using SASS.

Probably just as good of a way to do it anyway, but I'm worried that this stopped working suddenly.
Trying various things to get TDD working. None successful.
Got routing by sport name (slug) working!
Created Gemfile based on the Tutorial's due to the issues that have arisen.

Hopefully things will work alright now and I won't run into the issues that I've been facing.  I've found that the actual programming part of Rails isn't too hard –- it's dealing with RVM and Gems and dependencies and installations and all of that that causes the most issues.
