Olympic medalists Luke Hobson and Hubi Kos both notched wins in the Texas men’s win over Indiana on Friday. For Hobson, this is his senior season at Texas but his first under Director of Swimming Bob Bowman. Conversely, for Kos, this is his 3rd season with Bowman but just his first at Texas, having trained under Bowman at Arizona State for the last two seasons.
Someone needs to show up for the male contingent of USA Swimming at the 2024 Short Course World Championships:
Foster, C.
Hobson, L.
Bob is on the hot seat.
If you think any aspect of Bob’s job security is determined by short course world’s performance, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Given the summer his athletes just had and the contract he just signed, I don’t think there’s many HCs of power 4 teams in more secure positions than him.
Who is on the pro squad (Casas, Foster) with Bob Bowman at the University of Texas? Lost track of the comings and goings.
Probably Drew Kibler and Lindsay Looney?
Regan Smith, Marchand will be there in the new year, Will Licon (maybe?)
Is Will Licon still swimming post Trials?
Leave it to Texas to peak in October/November and come up hilariously short when it matters
Choked 2022 NCAAs with a superteam and they’ll choke again
That’s Texas, NC State and Cal now. Is there any team you like?
I’d bet ND
I’m pretty sure it’s Michigan
I place my bet on SMU.
McKendree, GCU, SMU, and the UVA men
The UVA men? Lie better.
Obvious troll attempt is obvious
I mean, Arizona State swam fast all last year and then won NCAA’s so….
Eddie Reese is still the college swimming GOAT and I have the utmost respect for him. However, it’s fair to say that he should’ve retired a little bit sooner. Bob Bowman is breathing fresh life into this program!
Maybe Bob wasn’t available? How can you say anything negative about Eddie? He’s the GOAT.
Did Hubert Kos grow up in the US? He has a very very very slight accent.
No. He attended a bilingual (English/Hungarian) high school in Hungary, and his father is half Irish, so they allegedly spoke English at home as well. Hungarians who speak English well generally speak with something akin to an American accent because of its overwhelming presence in media (movies, video games, shows, social media etc.).
Cool. snailSpace now in the running for the all time most useful, not obvious, comment in SwimSwam. Thank for real insights into an Olympic Champion.
Ah, thanks. I have only known a few Hungarian people who were a bit older (40s) and they had thicker accents. Made me curious. I was in Italy over the summer and a server at a restaurant I was at had a perfect American accent because of growing up watching American TV. It’s really impressive that people can pick up the accent that well.
I should have specified that it’s mostly the younger generations. There wasn’t much emphasis on pronunciation in foreign language education until about 10-15 years ago, to the point where even the older English teachers have a pretty recognizable Hungarian accent.
Swimming so fast that damn hairline has retreated 3 inches since the Olympics
Damn, that’s quite the accusation there
Would you like to qualify that statement or just continue to look like a total a$$?
I’m curious to know what drugs you think they are using? The undetectable ones are, you know, expensive and swimmers, you know, don’t make shit for money. Your comment about hair loss makes indicates you think they are using test, but that is so easily detectable its insane. Are you aware of other steroids that are know to cause some people to lose hair? You can can firmly believe a lot of things without evidence, but that just makes you a fool, not necessarily correct.
Luke my guy, it’s time to embrace the bald look
