Same rules as in football if one team wins by just kicking field goals.

I knew there had to be a reason no one really gives a fuck about swimming.

That must be why they make the swimmers swim in the morning so that the events can be televised in prime time in the States. Check the TV ratings and see how many people care. 37 million people can't be wrong. Say, how are the synchronized swimmers doing?

I know how the real swimmers are doing. 1-3 in the 200 free.

Really, despite what you may read here, no on really gives a shit that these guys train at UM. If anyone isn't cheering for MP to win the 8 golds simply because he's a Michigan guy, then they need their head examined.

It's swimming. There's no Ohio State-Michigan rivalry there. (at least as far as I know or care). So you don't really need to get so defensive.

I do get a bit twitchy around here sometimes :tongue2:

My being defensive here actually stems a little bit from people bashing swimming itself. Once upon a time I was a high school swimmer. Granted, it's true: the world really isn't watching it except for once every four years. Once the Olympics roll around though it's really one of the biggest of all, and it's the summer sport I look forward to the most.

I want him to win because he's an American but yes, it does bother me he's a scUMer.

Also, there is an OSU-scUM rivalry in everything, you can't pick and choose.

Swimming is the most physically demanding sport I've ever tried. And I doubt anyone here is going to argue that it's a sport unworthy of respect. But yes, there simply isn't a stage for it outside of the Olympics.

In anticpation of such a question, this was mentioned in post #1. :wink2:

This vBet will be permanently settled after the award ceremony for his last swimming event.
