Since we have some rivalries going on in other threads already, I was just curious, where'd you go to college? degree? swim?

From 1983 - 1987 I swam for the proud Southwest Missouri State University Bears (SMSU for short).....I never made the NCAA's unfortunately (which was my goal)....I did win conference MVP my senior year for winning all my individual events at the Midwest Independent Swimmming Championships (100 fly, 200 fly, and 200 I.M.).....I was still unhappy though for not qualifying for NCAA's...(While at SMSU I majored in partying 101!!).....After that I was nothin but a bum for about 5 years...(But I did meet my eventual wife at a Dominos pizza joint in Huntsville Texas in 1989 where we both delivered pizzas....the highlight of my pathetic life thus far!).....I decided to go back and get my bachelors degree in Math from the University of Houston from 1993 - 1994....I then moved to Knoxville TN to go to graduate school at the "Real" UT (The University of Tennessee...Sorry John!!) in Math in 1995........I eventually washed out as a doctoral student when I could never get my Ph.D. Thesis to work....(and I spent some unbelievable amount of time on that sorry ### thing!!) ....I did manage to get a Masters Degree before I left though....(My Doctoral Thesis has since been temporarily shelved and is now stamped as "a work in progress").
