What kind of results do you expect from our Ags in the dual meet?

They should be faster than at SMU...this is the last tune up meet before big 12's.

I expect near greatness

The Longhorns fastest times last weekend against Arizona are eye-opening close to some of the times that A&M put up against SMU...I also heard they aren't swimming the 1,000 (an event A&M would get creamed in)...

I'm not saying the Ags are going to win, but this meet could be MUCH MUCH closer than most people think if Texas swims like they did last week...I hope A&M suits up again and tries to see how close it can be...I don't think it's a stretch to say that A&M could win more events than Texas, shocking as that proposition might sound at first...

It was not close.

The 100 fly and 200 free relay was a gift to A&M.

The score would have been entirely different without all the exhibition swims by tu.

Is this the same A&M team that raced SMU?

True, it wouldnt've mattered, because t.u. would've just not exhibitioned the last half of the meet and creamed us anyways.

But still, the times were not looking very good, at all. Did they drop the fast skins?

Just eyeballing it, Balazs added 4 seconds in the 200 and 2 seconds in the 100.
Loney added 9 in the 500.
Shawn Clarke added 2 in the 100.
Boris added 2.5 off his relay split from SMU in the fly. Call it 1.5 after a relay adjustment.
Kyle Holland added 4 seconds to his relay split in the 100 back.
Andres added .5 seconds to his 100 back time from the LSU meet.
Casey Strange had a good split in the medley (19.68) but not as good in the 200Fr. (29.94).
Even Grant Nel lost 50 points off of his 3m score.
On a positive note, Eric and Cam's scores both looked good.

What happened, no skins? Can't get up for the TEXAS meet like they do for SMU??? Fastskins shouldn't account for some of these time differences.

Did the guys have a hard week of practice or something? One final buildup before starting the final ascent to NCAA's?

Hope the last 2 meets look a lot more like the SMU meet than the Texas meet. Gotta find a way to get themselves going even when they're overmatched, because that's how Big XII's are going to be.

I watched some of it online and I didn't see anybody suited up.

Did the guys have a hard week as a continued buildup to the Big 12 and or NCAA Championships?

The sips must have known the Aggies would be off. Their big guns swam off events. No Walters in freestyle. Klueh in the 200 free relay. Etc.

Where is Denisyako?

Sounds like it wasn't even competitive.
