At the Women’s Big Ten Champs tonight, I wasn’t expecting to see the wonderful Peter Bick. So imagine my surprise to see him — knee pads and all — strolling around the pool deck of the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion! I’ll have to flag him down tomorrow or Saturday to catch up!

P.S. I think this means that we may see Mr. Bick covering the men’s meet next week at his alma mater. *crosses fingers*

2008 University of Michigan women’s diving recruit, Amanda Lohman, said the following about Sir Phelps after meeting him during her official visit to the school.

He’s really big. He’s not my type. He’s really into himself, but he should be after all he’s an eight-time gold medalist. I’d like to get one myself.

HAHAHAHA!

As you can see, the bolded portion of the quote is what amuses us. Don’t act like you didn’t laugh too! Not to mention her bit of backpeddling with the whole “he should be” bit. Good stuff. She’d likely have been crucified if she ended the quote there. Phelpsi fangirls don’t play!

We’re also going to overlook the 8 gold medals thing. If she’s referring to the Olympics, she’s a little off with her numbers. It happens A LOT. 8 overall medals, with 6 of them being gold. For all we know, she could be clairvoyant and letting us in on Phelps’ final gold medal haul for next summer.

In any case, Amanda Lohman FTW.

Tonight, I give thanks to the lord for giving us Miss Carrie Moore. It is through her that we get so many classic moments; all due to her lack of thinking before she speaks.

If you’ve been keeping up with the hilarity in the comments of our latest “What Not To Wear” post, then you know why we give thanks for her.

We discuss a lot of swimmers on this site. And 90% of the ones we talk about do actually visit and see what we’re saying. They don’t think we know, but we do. But it wasn’t until today that one of them actually joined in the conversation and registered. I also think that post broke the Swim Aids record for most comments ever!

So, the first induction in the Swim Aids Hall of Fame is none other than Rhi Jeffrey. Thanks for being the highlight of our day today!

Oh, and we’ll mail your airfare to South Dakota directly to you. A camera crew will meet you at the airport.
