Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Michigan crusssshheed the meet record. Ohio State also under the record with an all freshman relay. Big Ten always gets caught in the wash because they start after ACC/SEC but big things are happening in Columbus. 021
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Been listening to a lot of Bliss N Esso and @tophousetheband lately and so my Spotify weekly served up this band on my Discover Weekly. A bit on the nose but I’m here for it. (Exactly what it sounds like, bluegrass band with a rapper). 020
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 26/01/2025SJSU Coach roasting Nevada for pulling out of their dual meet this weekend. Do we love it or hate it? X loves it, Facebook hates it. 031
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 26/01/2025First offense: beating Alabama in football ($100k) Second offense: beating Tennessee in basketball ($250k) Third offense: beating Kentucky in basketball ($500k) Vanderbilt is gonna spend a men's swim team's annual budget on storming the court. 041

Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 20/01/2025$130 for an all-session pass (7 sessions). Not a bad deal. Average College Football playoff ticket is $2500. So that means CFP is roughly 140x the value of NCAA swimming championships, per session. I didn't invent math don't @ me. 020
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 17/01/2025These were the two names I was hearing most loudly in the rumor mill. If anybody else shows up this season, it would be a surprise to me. 020
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 17/01/2025When I was at A&M, they built a new indoor track that was one of the best of the country. Pat Henry, A&M's track coach at the time (one of the GOATs) had them install a sprint straightaway separate from the rest of the track, right up against the spectator seating so they'd get a front row view. 020
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Bruh. Starting to wonder if the comments section is actually THE oracle. 040
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Everyone remembers Jimmy Carter's Olympic boycott. But he also signed the Ted Stevens Amateur Sports Act into law. Two years apart, one of the highest and one of the lowest moments in American Olympic history. 000
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 27/12/2024There's a college in New York where they keep track of the individual all-time scorers in program history and I think that's awesome. athletics.baruch.cuny.edu/news/2024/12...athletics.baruch.cuny.eduYoussef Elkhouly Becomes Baruch Men's Swimming All-Time Scorer! - Baruch College AthleticsThe Baruch College Swimming Team is proud to announce that a major all-time school record has been broken by senior star Youssef Elkhouly. 000
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 26/12/2024I formally demand that the US Olympic Team and Ralph Lauren use these as the LA2028 Olympic team uniforms. #beyoncebowl 030
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 13/12/2024He’s 17!! Only Jordan Crooks has been faster this year at any age, and only by .09! I’m cackling! This is the same time Tom Shields went in 2016 when he became the first man under 44 seconds in the 100 fly. 020
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Name a World Record that Gretchen Walsh would break if she swam it right now. I'll go first: 100 back. 121
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 13/12/2024What do you notice about these splits? One really interesting thing stands out to me... 100
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Gretchen Walsh 55.1??? Hosszu's record two months ago was 56.5. So 1.4 seconds off a 100m World Record in less than two months? And a second World Record in 30 minutes? That's crazy talk. 100
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Americans win the 100, Canadians win the 2 fly and Chinese win the 100 breast, which is really helping keep this shared podium thing chill. Imagine if like...Russia and Ukraine had to share a podium step. 100
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 12/12/2024The top 4 in the men's 100 free at SC Worlds are all NCAA swimmers. Could this be the podium at the NCAA Championships in March? 001
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Okay, I don't like the flag-planting either, but whichever commissioner said it said it best: Coaches just need to handle this by teaching their athletes to be better. We don't need all kind of rules regulating it, and sure as shit don't need it to be A FRIGGIN' FELONY. 000
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Pretty good flinch by Zhigalov. Should this be a DQ? 201
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Oh now there's a double crown, which is a triple crown from the World Cup + a win in the same event at SC Worlds. AKA a Quad? #SCWorlds 101
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Even the swimmers don't like going to swim meets. 010
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 08/12/2024I'm in a Hawaiian barbecue restaurant and Silent Night has been playing on a loop for like an hour and I can't tell if I'm the only one that has noticed. 020
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 07/12/2024This is good data, and shows that athletes are being tested. That being said, some athletes are really skating by and not being tested very much at all. Russians, especially, are not being tested very often by World Aquatics. 020

Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Say what you will about Michael Andrew...but he always shows up, always says 'yes' to another race, always competes. That's a quality that I appreciate in an athlete. swimswam.com/hunter-armst...swimswam.comHunter Armstrong Withdraws From SC Worlds, Michael Andrew Adds To Event LineupArmstrong has dropped out of the meet, while Andrew is now entered in the men's 50 back and 100 IM after initially only entering the sprint breaststrokes. 010
Braden Keith @braden-keith.bsky.social · 02/12/2024In swimming, nobody ever wants to talk about money. That's too gauche for civilized sports. Yet in the sports that are growing, all they talk about is money. In swimming, not only do they not want to talk about money - the governing bodies threaten you when you do.
