Tuesday’s Video Mash-up

Despite the now illegal suit, there are several things to be observed in this video.  What can you pick out that sets this swim apart from your technique (or things that you’ve heard your coaches talk about when drilling or discussing your swim at a meet)?  Can you find at least three things?

And how EXCITED are those announcers?  I wish I knew what they were saying.

And here’s a quick video of the same swimmer (Kosuke Kitajima) from a different angle:

And here’s Soni

Auburn trip re-visited

Meet the 100-year-old Auburn fan who got to Toomer’s Corner before sunrise to say goodbye to the Toomer’s Oaks

Edna Christmas, Auburn fan.

Edna Christmas, Auburn fan.

It’s not a new view for Edna Fellows Christmas. Edna is 100 years old. She has the Toomer’s Oaks beat by 25 years. She’s seen the corner oak-less before. She hated to see it become that way again. But she wanted to be there when it happened. She insisted.

On Removal Tuesday, Christmas and her daughter Mary arrived at Toomer’s Corner before sunrise.

Christmas woke her daughter up at 5 a.m. and made her take her to Toomer’s Corner. She put on her Aubie sweatshirt and her oak tree pendant necklace. They got there 40 minutes later. Her daughter rolled her to a spot near Biggin Hall. She watched.

“I hated it for the trees to stay, as bad as they look. But I hated to see them cut down, too,” said Christmas, whose been an Auburn fan for 50 years. “I hope it’s going to be fixed where it’s pretty again.”

A few hours later, Gary Keever came over and gave her a leaf from one of the oaks’ branches that had sprouted new growth a few weeks back.

“War Eagle,” Edna said.
