When I was in college therte was quite a rivalry between the women's and men's team. The idea of having to swim at Nats with the women would have been appalling. Thank goodness I have grown up since then.

The "mid drift" area was a breeze, seeing how I have no waist or chest. It was the thigh area that took three separate occassions, blood, sweat, and tears to conquer. But thanks for bringing it up again. I appreciate it.

Speaking malformed bodyparts...... How long did it take for you to get that new suit on over your mid drift? I suggest initiating the process this week week. USMS nationals are coming up shortly. Perhaps to speed it up your Evil half can hold the suit open while you jump from the roof ..... :-) John Smith

P.S. I don't know why you chose to drag Paul into this. No, he never made the Olympic Team. However, his fins are much, much larger than yours.

Dear Woman Fearing People Hater, I do not have a need to swim with the men. I just couldn't stand to sit idly by while you negligently spewed hatred toward my gender. I would be lead to believe that a thread titled "The He Man Woman Haters Club" would have actually been initiated by, in fact, a He Man. Do you have a ghost writer that might fit the bill? (John, are those your legs or are you sitting on the back of a chicken?) I never made NCAA's, so I don't even know what the time line, the warm up traffic, etc is like. I do, however, take a deep personal satisfaction ruffling your feathers and watching your blood pressure rise to dangerous levels. You know...now that I think about it, yes. I do think the men's and women's meet should be held together. The men would be great timers and could hold the womens' towels for them during the races. Who luvs ya, Baby?;)

Dear Amazon Man Hater, I made the same number of Olympic teams as your husband. Now respond to the discussion. Why do you feel the need to swim with the men? John Smith

I think that John started this entire discussion because he secretly fears that one of his Longhorn buddies will actually get his ass kicked by a girl at NCAA's. Your wife made the '84 Olympic Team....I forgot which one you made. Refresh my memory. This is a candidate for "Best Post Ever on the USMS Forums"... :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I think it's the comraderie that men only or women only have at meets like this. When you put men and women together - it changes things!!! It's not a bad thing, but there's tons of wonderful tradition (currently)... don't fix it if it ain't broken. Good call on banning the suits for another year - the suits are too darn expensive.

Yeah, I don't really see a reason why men would be for a combined meet and women against it, or vice versa.

SCYfreestyler, We shall see if the cuts trim the meet by 4%. My hunch is that most teams will have very few "A" cuts without a full taper and shave. Entire teams may end up with nothing but "B" cuts. I don't know much about it so I'll take your word for it.

Excuse my ignorance but how do the A and B cuts work? Is it like the Olympic A and B standards? Since you asked... no it is not like Olympic A & B times. The NCAA follows the simple process below to determine who is invited. Number of Participants. The number of participants in the 2008 Division I championships cannot exceed the following limits: Men—270 participants; and women—322 participants. All swimmers and divers that are invited to the meet will be counted toward the total number of participants allowed. Selection of Participants: Step 1: A total of 35 divers for men and 41 divers for women will be entered in to the championships. Step 2: All individual swimmers and all relays that have achieved “A’’ time standards will be entered in the meet. Step 3: All events will be filled, one entry time per event, until each event has the same number of competitors up to 16 places. Any events that already exceed this number of places due to “A” qualifiers will not receive additional entrants at this time.. Step 4: One entry will be added to each individual swimming event in event order. No entrants will be added to an event that exceeds this number of places because of “A” qualifiers until all individual events even out. This process will be repeated as long as each individual event in the entire order of events can receive an additional entry and the number of total competitors will remain below the cap (270 for the men’s meet and 322 for the women’s meet). No relays will be added during this, or subsequent, steps. Step 5: At some point, the addition of one competitor per event to the entire order of individual events will put the field over the total number of competitors cap. At this point, the remaining spaces will be allocated by comparing each events percentage (Division I championships record time for that event divided by entry time). The competitor who has the highest percentage (closest to the record) will be taken first Step 6: If we are in compliance with the formula below (we are into the listed individual row or greater) then go on to Step 7. If we are not in compliance with the formula, then subtract 1 relay (used in Step 3) and redo the entire process. We will not accept less than 12 relays for the men’s meet or 13 relays for the women’s meet. Men 16 relays - 26 individual rows 15 relays - 24 individual rows 14 relays - 22 individual rows 13 relays - 20 individual rows 12 relays - guaranteed Women 16 relays - 32 individual rows 15 relays - 30 individual rows 14 relays - 28 individual rows 13 relays - guaranteed Step 7: Enter optional entries for those individuals who are invited to the meet. Step 8 An alternate list of qualifiers will be created by individual event row. This list will be in row order and then by percentages (calculated in Step 5) within each row. This list will be used in case a swimmer who has been invited to the championships has become ineligible or unavailable

Interesting. Out of 33 replies, 2 women (not including myself) responded. As a Director of Legal Affairs friend of mine used to say, "No response is the response." Fine, without having thought about it overly much, I agree with wookiee. And I'm not even a woman hater. But if there were some demonstrable benefit to combining them, I wouldn't object. Not going to pull my hair out and go bald over it.
