Happened to see a Stanford swimmer in the rec center front squatting. Interesting rest strategy
Interesting…I remember hearing that David Nolan used to go to the gym before big meets
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for ’em.
If true that is quite insane
That guy did not qualify NCAA
Stanford didn’t taper for Pac 12s. They’re not even tapering for NCAAs! 2019 watch out!
Dean Farris might be a God, but what about the Stanford guy max front-squatting before the start of the meet???
Couldnt be more proud
Blake Pieroni for the 2 free. The man swam a 1:31.1 with a full beard.
Bro what about DEAN?
Is the pre-limb us and Wednesday finals big 10 network a pay to view ?
Ony if you want the audio.
Yeah I’m worried this big 10 network link is going to be a problem. Do we need to download the app? Or will the link take us right to it? Asking because right now an error note comes up when I click on it.
just wait for the finals to be uploaded …..like me lol
It is asking for credit card info for this app but no cost on app? Anyone have any info?
I downloaded the app, it didn’t ask me for credit card info. It looks like you need a cable provider in order to watch though. I have Infinity so it works for me
Will there be race videos anywhere? I’m in the UK and will be catching my beauty sleep while finals are on
KyB – there might be replays on ESPN3.com or the Minnesota host app after-the-fact, but nothing formal or announced.
Where is the men’s Pick ’em
https://swimswam.com/2018-mens-ncaa-championship-pick-em-contest-is-live/
Will we be treated to the gopher going off the high dive again?
Q #1: Is swimswam going to follow Dean Farris 24 hours a day during this meet?
Q #2: If not, what is wrong with you?
By the time his senior year rolls around there should be a dedicated Dean Correspondent.
I’m getting my application ready.
I was able to sign on to the Big Ten Network app through my DirecTV account.
Too bad the doofuses at the PAC-12 and PAC-12 network can’t do the same thing and come to terms with DirecTV. Oh, that’s right, they’re led by the incompetent commissioner Larry Scott.
