We love a good upset.
Congrats to Texas A&M and IU/Florida in their respective wins against UT. That said, call me a cynic, but I believe A&M and IU definitely appeared to “prepare” for these in-season dual meets by making sure they had more rest than the Longhorns putting them in a position to potential post an early headline. Tough question whether a team should rest at all for in-season duals, guess some do and some don’t. Different styles, but I don’t think Eddie Reese is too worried about any of these teams presenting a serious challenge to the Longhorns at NCAA’s.
A&M wasn’t rested.
Dang, USA swimming even throwin’ shade in their Rio collage. Twice!
I don’t get it…
