Thanks NCAA.
I think I read that everything is ESPN3, and I’m trying to figure out how to get a subscription to that, but would love actually know what I need a subscription to. Usually in prior years, the host school streams prelims and then ESPN does finals.
The women’s prelims and finals were both streamed on espn3. I imagine it will be the same for the men’s meet
American records?
A dark-horse team to win NCAA’s this year would have to be the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. The panthers are a team to look out for disrupting the meet. Texas and Cal better be ready to race if they have a chance of beating these guys.
UW Eau Claire to take it all 😤
Maybe Michigan State or Iowa as revenge
There’s a lot of hoping, wishing, & praying here out of everybody except fans of the team from Berkeley & Central Texas (that’s about all that it is (sorry NC State fans, Ohio State fans, & everybody else)). Ya gotta come back to the world of reality every now & then. I do believe that the team I support, root for, yell for, etc. will finish a bit better than the Swim Swam power rankings indicate (I.e. as I’ve mentioned before, ya better watch out for those A&M relays 👁 They will perform better than what is expected👍👍)
OSU wins
Might consider adding a couple of Texas divers to that list…
I think NC State has a shot at winning the whole thing if Texas and Cal don’t swim their A game.
Yeah yeah Wolfpack and all that
There is literally no chance of that happening.
You’re a few years too early
Yeah – might be coming with the recruiting they’re doing – but today is not that day.
I’m all for the Pack winning it all but not sure if I have the optimism of Coach Bob.
Wondering if you went off your meds this week ? Cal and Texas will swim like they always do and it’s those two teams fighting it out in the end .
If you cut the last three words off that sentence it sounds less crazy.
Not this year, but we gonna make some serious noise the next few years. 🐺
In like 2023?
