In what was to be the celebration of the last in-conference battle in an old (if lopsided) rivalry, the Texas-Texas A&M men’s dual meet in College Station has been delayed by a tornado warning in the area.
The swimmers were cleared from the deck just before 7:00 PM Central Time, and teams have been moved to locker rooms to ensure safety. According to the National Weather Service, a Tornado has been spotted in the area by a trained observer and detected on radars. The weather system is very small and is expected to clear the area by 7:45.
With A&M set to move to the SEC next season, this is the final edition of the series dubbed the “Lone Star Showdown”. Last year’s meet, though it ended up being a sizable, 43-point Texas victory, started out as a nail-biter. A&M won four out of the first five events, before Texas reportedly changed suits at the first diving break. Refocused, the Longhorns would cruise to a victory.
Yeah sure, Texas suiting up for one dual meet must exhibit the same cowardice that Zona has shown all year by suiting up for EVERY dual meet, right? Also, I’m pretty sure that a loss to Zona in the dual meet column, no matter by how much, really didnt crush “all of Eddie’s hopes and dreams”. Unlike Eric, Ed knows that the only part of the season that counts is the end. We’ll see who’s number two at NCAA’s
Classic Longhorn Cowardice – remember last year when A&M swept the first 4 races and Eddie made the boys go into the locker room and suit up?
I’m glad Zona didn’t exhibition a single race and crushed all of Eddie’s/Texas’ hopes and dreams. They got 1,2,3’d in both relays against ZONA? Wasn’t Texas SUPPOSED to be #2 in the CSCAA rankings?
cacane went to a school with no pride symbol. sucks to suck

I know what you mean. Hookem? Bear Down?!? Fight on?!!? WAR EAGLE?!? ROLL ON YOU BEARS?!?! stuff makes me sick….
Idiot, you should change your name to Illiterate because you are clearly unable to read a post.
I never called anyone ( although now I am tempted) an idiot. Your problem is “assuming” I think that the guys suited up without Eddies OK. Nope, did not say that.
I also think Eddie is one of the greatest coaches walking the pool deck.,his greatness equaled by his humility.
Once you get your reading skills down ,you can start to work on comprehension.
hook that
But just ask all the Arizona fans/ swimmers….jammers don’t make that big of a difference anyway. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah right!
Yeah, they are idiots for doing exactly what Eddie Reese says. I’m glad that they decided not to go off on their own and make a decision about whether or not to wear suits without ed’s consent. Furthermore, the texas athletes are getting full of themselves? Sorry “don” they just rolled off of an embarrassing loss to Arizona and were trying to make a statement to the nation with the whole wearing suits thing. Texas is a force to be reckoned with and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Texas A&M didn’t mean anything to Texas as far as competing goes. They just used that meet as an excuse to race each other and put some times out for the nation to… Read more »
Love the Texas hate going on here…
