Really interesting article re: the cost for college teams to try and stay even w/other teams that can afford to supply their swimmers w/the new suits.

    Hey Lefty Frankly I believe all the people that are spending big $$$ on expensive suits are actually experiencing "CSD" (compulsive spending disorder) and they aren't exactly mentally healthy either. However instead of seeing a shrink, they should be seeking the advice of a debt counselor. After reading the previous post, I have the hilarious thought of hearing people standing in line at a soup kitchen and one of person asks the other "Are you in debt because you were ripped off by a sub-prime mortgage broker?" -and the he then replies "No, I'm in debt because I took out a loan from Speedo over my swim suit". :confused: Dolphin 2 An interesting glimpse into your neurosis. Let me sum this up for everyone: The reason that Dolphin is so passionate about the suit issue is because his kids (sister maybe?) have made poor spending choices and he feels guilty about it. I cannot (yet) see the bridge between the two issues but I am sure that it is there.
