COLLEGE STATION - After breaking into the latest polls yesterday, the No. 25 SMU men's swimming and diving team toppled No. 24 Texas A&M tonight, 143-98. In a hotly contested rivalry that dates back to 1934, the Mustangs came out on top winning nine events as three Mustangs took two individual first-place finishes apiece

Gots to love beating a higher ranked team

Olympic sports rule! Man without them we would be at the very bottom of the barrel. Basketball is going to be on the rise. Here is hoping Football can do the same...soon. Given our great non-revenue sports, if we can get the revenue sports running on all eight cylinders, we will definitely be in the run for top 25 as a whole athletic department...wouldn't that be sweet. I just hope I live that long.

Add in the country club sport of Golf (has it been made an Olympic sport?) We have a legitimate shot at a top 10 finish in men's golf if we get decent weather. Last year, we played in terrible weather while many other teams with later tee times got better conditions.

Excellence in all sports, while inspiring young men and women to be future leaders? What a concept.

Why didn't colleges think of this before?
