Surprised not to see Erik Posegay somewhere in the interview frame – he’s never more than arm’s length from Bob, usually closer.

Do you think Bob will cut Texas Diving? He could get another swim coach and additional swimmers that will score more points than the divers.

Divers count as half of a roster spot for NCAAs, and with the facility and resources Texas has, they can score more than the 15th or 16th swimmer. For now at least.

Just heard Kulow, Ilya and Luca are all transferring to Texas. Good bye Cal, time to retire Marsh and Druden. We’re tired of your cheap shots

sweet karma that marsh is on deck to see desorbo tie women’s champ record and then a week later watch a coach he talked trash about for so long and so much, win his second title with a different team.

long road from being an assistant for marsh to now hunting the men’s record of championships. no stopping texas in racking up more to come.

eddie is smiling somewhere and marsh probably still doesn’t have a clue.
