None of these issues will ever be agreed upon between swimmers and none swimmers. When you have a football team, baseball team, etc. like we have, its easy to overshadow a small sport like swimming. It can't hurt however to bring up a valid point about poor coaching when its out there. I will always pull for our teams no matter who is coaching, even if they are keeping the team from reaching their full potential. As a former swimmer myself, I love seeing the sport even be part of Tiger Rant. Hopefully this thread will bring swimming into the spotlight, even if it is a small one. I know there are a lot of other Louisiana swimmers and coaches out there thinking the same thing that RUKidding is saying. Me included.
"An unhealthy hatred toward the coaches"? There is nothing unhealthy about wanting any team of any college you have supported all your life to do well. Especially in the sport you have competed in all your life. There is no hatred toward anyone on that pool deck. It is just known that there is a better leader out there for this swim program. The team is doing great as far as LSU swimming goes. However, there could be a better head coach with better people skills than the one they have now. Everyone says the biggest problem is recruiting. Well, facilities aside, it's hard to get recruits when the head coach of your team is almost impossible to connect with on a social level.
That being said, I hope the Tigers do well at NCAAs!
As a former collegiate swimmer, I have been following the tigers season on social media. With all the school records being broken I would have expected them to be ranked much higher in the SEC! It seems like every week there was a new school record being set. Are you sure these statistics are correct?

I thought I heard around 10k as well. It looked like a bigger crowd to me.

It will be very evenly matched. There isn't any reason we couldn't pull it off though!
