Going to the swimming and diving event tomorrow morning. Never been to one - anyone have any advice? Open seating? Parking in WCG I assume? good/bad for kids? etc etc etc

Tomorrow is another Ring Day so just note there will be more traffic than a normal non-home football Saturday. Open seating at the Natatorium, it's a fairly kid friendly environment, although meets can be longer than you think and it's indoor pool so it can be warmer than would expect.

Women lost 94-197
Men lost 78-222

Time to pull the plug on Blaire Anderson

Trev and his discounted first year head coach hires… what matters is saving money for Elko and paying his inexperienced coordinators and paying Marcel's buddy at qb coach

I actually disagree with this take with Blaire personally. For one, at the meet they had like 15 swimmers sitting out, but also their team is recruiting phenomenally, but high school swimmers commit at the beginning of junior year so it takes a while to build up a program. That is just my take; I was a swimmer, and I have multiple friends competing at schools like SMU, Georgetown, Texas, and UCLA, so I have a rough idea of what makes up a swim program. It is not like basketball or football that you can rebuild in a year or two.

Why were the 15 athletes sitting out?

Is fielding a full squad not the responsibility of the head coach all of a sudden?

Recruiting phenomenally? No.

Swimming is not the same as football, so for the first dual meet of the season in November, not everyone will be competing.

Not all 2028 commits are on SwimCloud yet since it takes time to populate, but the ones that are listed are already showing multiple top 100 national recruits, and the 2027 class has several as well including number one state ranked swimmers from multiple states. The full picture will be even clearer once all commits are listed.

I understand this, but compare this to Texas, Indiana, ASU, Virginia Florida, NC State, Georgia, Alabama, Etc

Appreciate the insight, it's more anger at Trev! I want to see her succeed

This is the first full recruiting class for this coaching staff to get to campus. The recruiting has been dramatically improved, especially on the women's side compared to the 4 years prior to their arrival. The true freshman swam really well at this meet especially for a first college dual meet. In fact two freshman won events.
