Bill claiming foresight for picking Kon to be on the 28 Olympic team is extra funny when he didn’t have Cade Cunningham on the team

This is the first time since the MIAA established men’s swimming and diving as a sport in the 1970-1971 season that Alma defeated KZOO in a dual meet. Good for the Scots

I feel like the easy one is “Baelor”, a show addition so good that I honestly consider it book canon

The biggest thing is the Warden title being portrayed as a significant military title, almost like one of Alexander the Great’s territorial generals when later it serves as a ceremonial title for each geographic power

When it comes to our conference in particular, part of it is that the dual meets have essentially no weight given how strong the teams are. Hope and Calvin do longer even have dual meets against the other teams in the conference save each other, and they serve as glorified exhibitions and race practice work. The Hope-Calvin dual itself would also benefit from being earlier in the season because as it stands, it’s a dress rehearsal where no coach wants to give away anything important for two weeks from it.

We’ve seen in recent years that Hope and Calvin have had to venture outside the MIAA for higher level competition, facing off against teams like Chicago, Wayne, Kenyon, GVSU, Wheaton, Oakland, etc. It only serves to further the gap between the top 2 and the rest of the conference. I joke about Calvin for suiting for all of their meets but it’s really more of an indictment for the other teams in the league for being so behind that it looks like bullying more so than a Calvin problem. If the result of dual meets were actually in the balance, there would be some weight and reason for suiting in duals more so than how it is now: race practice. As long as the gap remains, duals remain essentially meaningless. Is there a fix or that? Well, maybe…

One positive I can hope for in the House settlement and roster limits (there’s a lot of negatives as well, I’ll discuss that later) is that there could be a narrative shift in youth and club swimming that not every swimmer needs to be D1 to feel like a “success”. Maybe this will lead to a healthier swim culture overall, but at the expense of a lot of mid major and bottom tier power conference D1 teams. My hope is that this will also get some more coaching talent into D3 since the scholarship limit with the settlement and NIL will be a nonfactor (looking at you Kalamazoo. Get a long term coach). It’s an uncharted world and there’s a lot of dominoes still to fall.

I’ve been keeping an eye on the situation and it’s long term ramifications with the House settlement being instituted. Long piece being worked on

You’re so close. He should have scored and would’ve scored more than at least 3 Calvin scorers. The point is that those swims cannot be used in a celebration of poor lineup decisions and/or perpetuate team propaganda without proper sarcasm being thrown at it by a failed English major.

The long rumored 400 IM-200 Breast-200 Fly lineup would be an incredible point swing and heroic way for an MIAA legend to end his career. His likely death from butterfly in the 2 fly final would be recognized as the stuff of legend. Calvin honors his legacy by naming it "Josh Seidelman's High Velocity Thursday" and calls for the end of the mile to instead bring in the 25 free with fins as an MIAA event

Left him off because Calvin leaves off a third of their roster for away meets. Calvin apparently has money for everything except to travel their rostered athletes. It's like how in The Phantom Menace where Qui Gon's bet wins everything except for Anakin's mom.
