What more could you ask for? Records broken in nearly every final and a team battle that could very well come down to the final event....

I've always heard black people have denser bone structures and thats why they've never succeeded as a whole in swimming. The whole cultural and socio-class variables may also play a factor, but with these new floatation suits the bone structure theory, if it is indeed true, may not be as big of a factor.

And Bradly Aly sure as heck looks like he can jump off the walls like only a black man could :p
And yes I know that post was sarcasm....

Mad props for this ALL AMERICAN team always stepping up and putting it all on the line.

Yeah lets not forget texas is also down scott spann who would have scored them mad points in breaststroke. I don't know his prospects for next year, or what happend to him this year for that matter, but texas will for sure be in the hunt next year.

For as much hype was given to stanford's freshmen class, Texas's has stomped on it at this meet.
Spann hurt himself really bad, and then was really sick. They did lose major points for not having him, but im pretty sure he will be back next year.

Reese said in his interview with Garret that he really prepared Klueh for the mile this NCAAs, so maybe he'll have a shot to win. But even so, it is going to be tough for Texas to comeback from this morning (especially with Berens's crippling 200 fly, where I'm sure they were banking on him to make the top 8)
