Are we closing in on the end of the current Auburn dynasty of NCAA championships this year ? Will Stanford come through this time? I've heard that Texas had an extremely good recruiting year this year.

To me, Dr. Spann and others like him are the true heroes of sports. Competing at the highest levels in any sport while not neglecting an education is all too rare. Watching Unfiltered (Phelps/Crocker DVD), I was troubled by the producer's emphasis on bling and adoring fans with nary a mention of actual classes or plans for a life post swimming.
Let me stress that I mean no disrespect to Messr's Phelps and Crocker, who I assume had next to no control over Octagon Sport's production of the video. But the message, presumably directed at emerging age groupers, seemed to be that if you can swim at those levels, chicks will dig you and you will, despite being a college student, mysteriously live in a swank apartment and drive a fast car. As a parent, I'm incredibly tired of this kind of crap.
In my perfect world, Dr. Spann would have a hundred million dollar shoe contract and Shaq would be scratching out a living endorsing subwoofers for Escalades.
