"NCAA Division I Men's Championships Psych Sheet "As If" -- March 11, 2009
PHOENIX, Arizona, March 11. ONCE again, Swimming World superfan John Bremer comes through with another quick turnaround on scoring the psych sheet of the NCAA Division I Men's Championships. Last week, Bremer provided us with the early "on paper" favorite for the women's meet – Georgia. Today, he scored the men's psych sheet.
Not counting diving, which will begin to be determined with Zone Diving this weekend, Auburn is the favorite with 434 points. Stanford takes a close second with 429.5 points, while Texas has 407 points. California (383) and defending champ Arizona (261.5) round out the top five in the "as if" scoring. Florida (256), Michigan (243), Virginia (177), Tennessee (143) and Georgia (94) make up the top 10."

I say Texas takes it.
Actually, Furburglar, I was gonna ask if you had ever heard of this "University of California San Bumfiglio?" I have limited knowledge of the California community college system and am not aware of any quality institutions of higher learning west of the Mississippi.

That's right. All the so-called colleges west of the Mississippi are located based on proximity to either quality surfing, skiing or golf. Attending what passes as classes is strictly optional. It's actually good training because we try to lead a life of leisure here on the left coast. We leave all the real work to you Easterners.
There was a guy named Jason Lezak who swam there...perhaps you have heard of him :agree:
It is a part of the California University system, like UC-San Diego, UC-Irvine, etc.
Geek has never heard of it because:
A) It doesn't have a Future Farmers of America program
B) He wouldn't have made the team...not for lack of swimming ability but simply because none of us would have liked him.
C) He asked a gal out one time who had gone to school there who told him she didn't have any interest in adults who rode tricycles.
A few other notables:
Sandy Nielson Bell
Richard Schroeder
Ken Neff
Pat Cary
All in all for a school that has a pool that was built in 1950 and has to recruit with a total budget of 3 scholarships not to bad...of...and hands down the most beautiful college campus on the planet.
Even with that rousing endorsement of Hanna Barbera University, it's still not ringing a bell with me. Is it possible it is a satellite campus of the University of Phoenix?
The invited time means if you swim that time, you're invited. The reason for the others "below the line" is these people made it in other events or relays, so they get to swim other events they made the B cut in. Looking at the Big West results, I see UCSB's fastest 50 freestyler swam a 19.68 in prelims. This is below the line (19.48). If UCSB had qualified a relay he'd get to swim the individual event, too.
Thanks for the explanation. I used to swim with the guy that posted the 19.68, so I was just wondering how the "invited" system works.

Geek,
I like to poke fun at things as much as the next guy and your initial comment was kind of funny, but this is now getting to the point of bad form. Paul contributes a lot to this forum including tips and workouts.
