just lost to a child at pool at a bar time for a #careerchange

Legacy swim! Senior Kai van Westering finishes fourth in the final swim of his collegiate career.

@_brendanburns @Braden_Keith very good analysis and very true. i’ve just been looking through results and even in 2018 teams were throwing together random quads and going 6:06 i’m surprised that through swimflation we aren’t seeing more guys step up

@Brroccoli @Braden_Keith Having 4 guys sub 1:32 / true 200 freestylers is exceedingly difficult in the age of roster caps 200/400 Free relays much easier to plug and play for a 50/100

@Braden_Keith i know Cal and texas have been lowering the bar the last few years, but is there any reason you think the 8fr relay is kinda just hovering at 6:05-6:08

@Braden_Keith it’ll be great for viewership!!

@Brroccoli To make them more visible for TV!

Last year's NCAA D1 women's day 2 wrapped at 8:05PM This year's, with all the changes, is 7:52.

i know the buy in really comes during finals. But finals isn’t the only product that needs boosting

I know it’s “lame” but so far we are seeing a faster prelims. Prelims are notoriously long and kind of hard to get through, but if the stakes are higher in the morning… we might be on to something

@andy_ross4 Andy, let’s get a brainstorm going of how to make the most ideal way to broadcast swimming to a wider audience.

One of the problems with swimming as a TV product is that there’s so much relevant information for each heat that we have no idea how to present that to a wider audience. Specifically, a running list of accumulated times on the bottom line would be a good addition.

However Sinners performs at Academy Awards, Ryan Coogler already won by negotiating back the film IP rights in 25 years and releasing this incredible educational promo bit on different screen aspect ratios and film formats.

A half-decade of dominance.

if they nuke us can they make sure to do it in the morning i don’t wanna work all fucking day just to come home and get nuked

just barted (burp and fart)

@Kenny_Hammer_ congrats on the sobriety kenny

Just caught myself saying, “damn this NyQuil is hitting” Sober life really does change a man

This New York Times story is not paywalled, and it shows a second-by-second breakdown of what happened. Please scroll through it. This is not what America, or anywhere, should be nytimes.com/interactive/20…

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

@JDVance Real leadership would address what went wrong here with their agents and work to correct it rather than complain about others who were not involved. Yet another tragic example of this administration's incredibly weak leadership and terrible policies.

yeah but wait until Indiana plays someone serious next week

“LETS FUCKING GO”
