A Faster Pool than Fort Lauderdale

First of all, just because I know that the name of grain on the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" was called QUADROTRITICALY..... does not mean I am a Treky or that my scientific information is either flawed or outdated. posted by Mr. GoodSmith I hate to burst your Treky bubble there Mr. GoodSmith....but I'm afraid you've already given "flawed" Scientific Info.....(sorry ...I know...I'm overly picky perhaps ...please forgive!) When you said that matter and antimatter should never be mixed under any circumstances.......Actually you are technically wrong from "both" a Scientific standpoint as well as a fictional (Treky) standpoint.......Starting with the Treky standpoint: If your statement were in fact true, then how did the Enterprise ever reach warp speeds? From a Scientific Standpoint: Small amounts of antimatter have already been created "and" mixed with small amounts of matter in a controlled laboratory setting (Check with Phil Arcuni...or Mattson to back me up on this one)......I know that I am being a little unreasonable to call you on this one.....but when I think of the fact that you're JS ...a U.T. alum....and you like to dish a little flack out every once in a while....well then I guess my complaint is reasonably justified then.....sorry....please don't take any offense! newmastersswimmer

I always heard you went to A&M or UT if you couldn't get into SMU.

Dude, We need to have a Texas 101 class on rivalries. Texas.... the real Univ. of Texas Texas A&M..... the jealous maroon headed step child SMU....... little spoiled rich school in Dallas Many moons ago, Texas and SMU had a huge rivalry in swimming. The Southwest conference was ruled by the two schools for decades. Lundquist = SMU = Dallas Texas = UT = Austin It's like matter and antimatter. You don't want to mix the two together........... ever.

Yea, yea. yea. but they are all Texans!:)

I strongly suggest you don't confuse the issue while you are in the state of Texas.... :-) John Smith

I lived in texas for over 15 years...and that alone confused the issue.....;)

dear jim, allow me to address the points you made in your Tennessee list. ande 1) Leaves that turn another color (other than brown) during Autumn. www.tpwd.state.tx.us/.../ 2) Many varieties of flowering trees in the Spring (such as White and Pink Dogwoods, Tulip Magnolias, Redbuds, Bradford Pear Trees, and Cherry Trees just to name a few). ~~~~> Texas has many blooming trees 3) "Real" mountains....and covered in wild flowers of every kind during the Spring. http://www.nps.gov/bibe/ http://www.nps.gov/gumo/ www.tpwd.state.tx.us/.../ www.tpwd.state.tx.us/.../ 4) Just about anything that one normally associates to any one of the 3 "supposedly separate" non-summer seasons. ~~~> I think the problem might be that you lived near Houston 5) A decent College football team (such as the "real" U.T.....i.e. The Proud Volunteers!) ~~~> UT Austin won the ROSE BOWL last year how'd things go for for the VOLS texas also has a pretty decent swimming pool in austin and some pretty OK swimmers as well. Ande Originally posted by newmastersswimmer You can see a little bit of everything in the greatest state god ever made. posted by Ande Hmm??....I didn't know that Mr. GoodSmith actually "made" Texas??....(j/k of course!!) Actually there is a whole lot of things that you "CAN'T" see in the woderful state of Texas (which I know b/c I lived there most of my life and then moved to the beatiful State of Tennessee afterwards!!)....Like: 1) Leaves that turn another color (other than brown) during Autumn. 2) Many varieties of flowering trees in the Spring (such as White and Pink Dogwoods, Tulip Magnolias, Redbuds, Bradford Pear Trees, and Cherry Trees just to name a few). 3) "Real" mountains....and covered in wild flowers of every kind during the Spring. 4) Just about anything that one normally associates to any one of the 3 "supposedly separate" non-summer seasons. 5) A decent College football team (such as the "real" U.T.....i.e. The Proud Volunteers!) and the list goes on and on...... I guess you have to actually travel outside the state of Texas to find these things out?? Newmastersswimmer

You know, I am not a total ignoramous when it comes to Texas. I once visited UT. It was god awful hot, flatter than a skillet, and surrounded by rusted oil rigs. The people were hard to understand, and ate steak on butcher paper with nothing but sharp knives. Or maybe that was Lubbock . . . ? (It is hard to keep these places straight) I did not see a pool.

a win is a win but let's write a little about swimming before this thread gets closed What's the U. Tennessee's NCAA swimming record versus UT Austin's? need I write more? Ande Originally posted by newmastersswimmer Moose Man (MM for short) O.k. so there may be a "few" sort of mountains in Texas.....Couldn't produce a larger list to support your point eh?? Ande, I thought I pointed out the absolute beating the Vols laid on the supposedly tough Texas A&M team in the Cotton Bowl last year.....Who did Texas "barely" beat in the Rose Bowl?....I can't remember off hand...but it was probably one of those severely overrated Big 10 schools? newmastersswimmer

well this is a swimming board Unfortunately for Steve and by some miracle, UT won all the conference meets in all the years that Steve Lundquist attended SMU. Though Steve owned the breastrokes, did great in the IM, made the Olympic team in the 100 fly and swam a heck of a 100 free leg on SMU's 4 x 100 free relay. I think we scored higher at NCAA's at than SMU did each of those years. Though there was quite a long stretch when SMU beat UT at conference but SMU's streak ended when Eddie came to Texas and a few of his transfers gained eligibility in 1980. I think 1979 was Eddies first year at UT and SMU's last year to win conference. When SMU won, they'd scream out each previous year they had won then add the new year to the list. Now I'm not sure if SMU could out party UT, but SMU was famous for their annual L.A.G.N.A.F. party. Ande Originally posted by newmastersswimmer What's the U. Tennessee's NCAA swimming record versus UT Austin's? posted by Ande Razzzzz It always comes back to swimming for you Texicans doesn't it?.....Well that's one issue I can't argue with I suppose....but how bout those SMU Mustangs back in the Lundquist days eh??.....Thos spoiled little rich kids had UT's number didn't they??
