How to watch the Texas vs Indiana swim meet?
Bob will have these guys ready for this important match up!
IU at UT and UF at UGA should be barn burners! So excited there are great dual meets in Oct/Nov. Many of the tri-meets also hold spectator appeal. NCAA swimming is the best.

Book it!
Texas is so overrated without Elendt, Jacoby, Pash, Sullivan.
Calling my shot now, IU’s going to win the meet on the men’s side but then CSCAA will still rank UT above them in the November poll
Does anybody understand the Texas-Indiana format? There’s a reference (via the Texas men’s swimming page) to a morning start to the meet, but then a “finals schedule” with no 100 or 200 free and no stroke 200s.

The morning session will be scored and the afternoon session will not be scored. AM session will determine who wins the meet pretty much
