Alabama Men's Swimming closing the gap with Auburn.

Alabama men's swimming recently had a two-day meet with Auburn. Apparently, the meet was quite close with the two teams leading at different points in the meet. Auburn won with a late surge in the meet. Nonetheless, Alabama appears to be closing the gap on Auburn's dominance. Alabama clearly dominated the middle-distance events, taking first and second in the 200 free, 400 free, and 400 I.M. The Tide also took first in the 200 I.M and 200 ***. The middle distance dominance by Alabama showed up on the Tide's impressive victory in the 800 free relay. The Tide also won the 400 medley relay. auburntigers.cstv.com/.../ua-au-final.html

  • You must not read post to clearly. Or you must imply that refences made on this forum about swimming topics, somehow are actually talking about things outside of the world of swimming, that we use special lingo to hide those meanings. I said " I hope Auburn stays on top" in reference to the AU/little bama duel meet. This is a swimming forum, my references are to swimming on this forum. Auburn is still the only good thing to come out of that state. But thanks for your smug, better than you, reply. Dude, relax. Nobody is saying anybody is better than the other. Just enjoying a little SEC rivalry with you. You live close enough to the state to understand the rivalry between Alabama and Auburn. I admire your support of Auburn and don't deny that it is a fine program with some outstanding coaches who also happen to be outstanding people. We fans of the University of Alabama and its swim program are simply thrilled that the team isn't getting as crushed as much as it used to. Lighten up and don't take things so personally or I shall believe what my husband says is true - that you are just mad that Alabama kicks Tennessee's butt in football.
