March 25, 20187 yr Did I miss a post about the swimming and diving championship? If so, I apologize, but it's worth a repeat. Great way to start the Shaggy reincarnation. http://texassports.com/news/2018/3/24/mens-swimming-and-diving-wins-fourth-consecutive-ncaa-title.aspx
March 25, 20187 yr This is the second 4 peat in Eddie's career in which he has won 14 national championships and 39 consecutive conference championships. Just amazing what he has built and maintained here in Austin.
March 25, 20187 yr We are a swimming and diving school. Congrats to Reese and the boys. May he outlive Bill Snyder.

Just amazing what he has built and maintained here in Austin. Closest margin of victory in this series of NCs. But domination is total, and routinely expected.
March 25, 20187 yr Texas has a good chance for a 5 peat. A lot of returning points and a loaded recruiting class coming in.

March 26, 20187 yr Had a chance to meet Coach Reese in 1980. You could tell then he was building to something special. Well done.

March 26, 20187 yr It's nice having a program that is clutch, especially with so many others under-performing.
March 26, 20187 yr This is amazing. Great job Eddie! That being said, this swim by Dressel deserves some mention, only the 2nd time that a sub 18 has been done in the 50Y free, and Dressel did it earlier in the meet.
March 26, 20187 yr 14 Championships. Is there a coach in all of sports anywhere that has 14? NBA? MLB? NCAA? etc? Dressel is unbelievable. Can't wait to see what he does on the international stage.
March 26, 20187 yr ^ Yeah, well, my roommate from my freshman year spent several years in an Alabama prison for strong-arm rape of a 15-year-old girl he was coaching, so there's that.
March 26, 20187 yr And yes, this was one of the most exciting championships yet as it required the team to truly rally on the last day and far exceed expectations in order to secure the win. It must have been very exciting to be a part of.

Can't wait to see what he does on the international stage. The 3 that came to mind for me all have less. Geno Auriemma (11 and counting), Wooden (10), and Auerbach (9).
March 27, 20187 yr https://swimswam.com/top-20-recruiting-roundup-mens-class-2018-first-edition/ Texas is about to be loaded for a few more years. 4 top 20 recruits in this next recruiting class.
May 18, 20187 yr https://swimswam.com/eddie-reeses-recipe-for-creating-a-winning-culture/ Nice article on Eddie Reese and the culture he's created.
February 8, 20196 yr Why would swim/dive want an outdoor pool?What is there now-parking?Anyone think about just extending Littlefield fountain?
February 8, 20196 yr Grass is there now. Swimming same lane same place everyday is a drag. Let’s extend the facility that’s hosted nationals numerous times to include an outdoor pool at least on par with what’s at Gregory. Eddie wants an outdoor pool build the man an outdoor pool. Consecutive conference titles since before I was born, won’t someone build the man his pool!Ps Can we name something the Reese-Robertson, already?
February 8, 20196 yr Yeah, at this point I think you just do what Reese asks for as long as it's at all feasible. The man just graduated a senior class who won the national championship every year of their college career.

March 12, 20196 yr https://swimswam.com/projecting-the-cutline-2019-mens-ncaa-championships/ Without divers, Texas already has 20 swimmers qualified for the championships. Unfortunately a school can only bring 18 athletes to the championship meet. Since divers count 0.5 spots and Texas qualified 3 divers yesterday, Texas will have to cut 4 swimmers (tough). Additionally, Reed Merritt might qualify an additional diving spot today or tomorrow.
March 27, 20196 yr It’s a damn shame that not having the best facilities in the country has hindered Eddie Reese from winning any hardware Imagine what he could’ve done with really really nice and expensive lockers Edited March 27, 20196 yr by Lobo
