Yea, how dare Auburn be good at something without cheating.

We must be damn good at it to have been so fricking incredible for so long...




Honestly, do you know anything about the swimming and diving program and/or olympic sports programs?

And you're an expert on swimming & diving? Auburn has achieved success by recruiting international swimmers, not by cheating.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Brett Hawke, but we've been spoiled with David Marsh and Richard Quick.

Yes yall do, will definitely make the top of the SEC a lot more competitive

same with both tennis programs

I wonder if Missouri will add a men's tennis team or be the only team in the SEC without one?

Is Auburn Swimming recruiting like Baylor tennis?

I'm still unfamiliar with Olympic sport recruiting outside the B12. I only followed the major sports recruiting in the SEC in the past.

I dont think A&M has a wrestling team

but that is a good point, I am assuming Mizzou's will just become independent

They all do it, but they don't do it as successfully as Auburn swimming has recently. Auburn swimmers have represented 20 countries at the Olympics and 4 out of Auburn's 6 medalists at the Beijing Olympics were from outside the US. Cielo and Coventry in particular are known as world-class swimmers.

I went down to Auburn for a USC game with one of my tiger buddies, we ended up staying with most of the swim team. Nice guys, and threw a great party after the game. The only problem was the party was about 50 dudes and no chicks

You all like the Speedo action over there. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Please expand on this accusation. What does Auburn do that you feel is shady?
