Will there be a Pick Em contest this year?
Can’t remember. Has swimswam been making predictions on the winners of the entire meet in previous years?
Yup
Yes. And we’re almost always right.
Do I sense a tad bit of sarcasm Braden?
Nope. We’ve picked the NCAA Champions correctly either all 6 times we’ve done it, or 5 out of 6. I can’t remember.
Did you guys pick the winner this year?
Our picks will be up shortly. Morgan is putting the finishing touches on them now. I will say – the women’s picks this year were much harder than they’ve been….with so many superstars absent, we really had to hone in on what matters and what doesn’t.
Except that one time, where the Tennessee Lady Vols took everyone for a loop with all those relay wins.
Are finals 6:00 or 7:00?
Hy-Tek and Championship Central say 6:00.
6:00 for men and women…they made the change when they put relays early….i think prelims might be at 10 for men too or just earlier than before?
Any Australian girls competing there?
Anyone else think the live stream is pretty horrible?
I can’t even get a connection.. any suggestions?
I can’t connect with the live stream for the 800 free relay? Does anyone have a link for this?
