I dislike the Hokies immensely in football, but there are local swimmers on the H2Okies team. So, I'll have to root for them now. Did you notice that Kaan Tayla went .02 seconds faster than the winner of the Big 12 meet. I think there were 82 Longhorn swimmers competing in the 50 free, 3 Aggies and 1 guy from Missouri.:laugh2: Just kidding of course, but Texas has an awfully impressive team.
