The Swim Aids 10: You Might be a CW Whore…

Posted May 26, 2007 at 10:35 pm by Suz in Because we are funny, Club Wolverine owns us, Top Ten

Club Wolverine LogoNow before any nasty rumors start spreading, we ask that you not take the title of this post the wrong way. There is no hanky panky going on between ANY of the Swim Aids and the CWers. Referring to someone as a “CW Whore” is a figure of speech, and not something to take literally, ok?

Isn’t it sad that we had to give that little disclaimer? Because some people have seriously defective “sarcasm radars”, it became a matter of necessity.

And because this list was basically never-ending, there are a bonus 10 items, effectively making this a Top 20 List.

ENJOY!

  • You’ve successsfully turned observing Coach Bob’s on deck coaching antics into a kickass drinking game
  • Meet officials ask you if you’re “with” Club Wolverine
  • Your telephoto lens rebels when you focus on swimmers that aren’t part of Club Wolverine
  • You start viewing meets as more opportunities to try and convince Mama VDK to go drinking with you
  • You question your loyalty since Klete left
  • You are genuinely concerned that another CW swimmer will impress you and inspire yet another CW network site on SwimStars.org
  • You circulate an online petition to try and get CW to switch back to the old, non-fug logo
  • You lose your voice at big meets cheering for CW; they thank you personally later on
  • You make it your mission to give gag gifts to as many CW swimmers as possible
  • You can single out Coach Bob’s whistle during meets
  • You create nicknames for some of the swimmers that they may or may not know of…
  • You have a category on your blog titled “Club Wolverine Owns Us”
  • You get invited to buy tickets in the CW block for Olympic Trials
  • You know the names and stats of most of Michigan’s recruits
  • People who are (or used to) be associated with CW read your blog and love it
  • You place bets on who will be the next elite swimmer to join CW
  • You think Coach Bob is way hot & would totally let him hit it…just kidding?
  • You immediately know when CWers swim best times during competition
  • You don’t usually consider attending meets where there are no CW swimmers entered
  • You dread the day, after the Beijing Games, when some of your favorite CWers retire, and your world then crumbles
