Personally, I believe diving would be better tied in with gymnastics. The only commonality between diving and swimming is contact with the water but you probably wouldn't want to end a 3 meter springboard or 10 meter platform dive onto a mat. Splat!:eek:

I really don't want diving meet with swimming meet unless I get to hang around the female divers...

So should track be separated from the field events as well?

Swiiming is to diving as football is to the marching band at half time.

And to the 17 girls on the Auburn squad, that all scored that night, as well. Jeff, does this mean Eddie Reese indebted to the Texas divers for the margin they provided over Stanford a few years back?:D

Separate the two. Everyone clears out during diving and only the divers stay to watch the divers. Let's face it, swimmers are the only ones that care about swimming and divers are the only ones that care about diving. John Smith

Dave Marsh is indebted to Frank Busch and the four girls on the 400 free relay for the rest of his life. If Georgia won the relay, Georgia would have won the meet.

The Wookie Are you implying that the meet is not the "Swimming and Diving" Championships? ... or that Texas should not have won based solely on their swimming points? There are teams that win due to their clear dominance as Auburn men have done in recent years, and there are teams that win because the other team implodes and hands over the trophy, and there are teams that win with that classic all out dual for the final relay.

Originally posted by Frank Thompson Mr Wookiee: Actually yes Eddie would be indebted to the Dumais brothers back in 2002 when Texas won by 11 points. The Dumais brothers were so good that their points were assumed. I think in many, many cases, wins come from points given by unexpected swimmers who aren't expected to score but end up winning the consolation finals or even make finals.

However, Stanford got wise and recruited the youngest Dumais last year and this will be the first year in many years that Stanford has potential to score in diving and not get wipped out by Auburn. Auburn had 2 divers last year score 84 points and won the meet by 77 points. This year they lost 1 of the divers and so the scoring with Dumais this year will not be that spread out because of Stanford's lack of diving. This should make the swimming portion more important between the two schools.

Congratulations to Auburn. What an exciting finals it was last night!! It came down to the last relay and UGA needed to get first and Aubun third for UGA to win....they almost did it! Kara Lynn Joyce split an AMAZING 46.9 on her anchor leg!! She was smokin'. Talk about heart! I'm so proud of my bulldogs!!
