Last night, the US mens 4×100 Freestyle relay won gold by a fingertip, keeping alive Michael Phelps’ goal of winning a record 8 gold medals in one Olympic games. What you may not know is that the four-man team was mostly made up of guys who did not swim in the preliminaries. 4 “scrubs” swam the prelims (setting a new world record, broken by their own teammates a mere 15 hours later) and the one “scrub” with the fastest splits got to join the 3 big boys for the finals. I am tickled pink for Phelps and his teammates, but man does that suck for the 3 left-behinds. The finals team doesn’t get to compete if the prelims team doesn’t do well. So here is a post in their honor.
Nathan Adrian, 19 years old, 6’5, left the University of California to train for the Olympics
USA! USA! USA!
I kept getting photo results for Adrian Pasdar...
Matt Grevers, 23 years old, 6’7, swam for Northwestern
6'7 you say? Mmmm.
Look at his shoulders!
My newest crush Ben Wildman-Tobriner, almost 24 years old, swam for Stanford. Wildman indeed.
Look at his V muscles.
I mean... good God in heaven.
He's so pretty.
Call me. Please.
He's waving to me. Yes he is.
Ladies... 
Holy shit did anyone look at the nude wrestler photos linked from Deadspin?
Pam – That’s my school! Ahhh, Husker pride.
Also, Ben Wildman-Tobriner and his Vs should call me right about NOW. Wow.
Back off, Minda. I saw him first.
I want to send him a link to this on Facebook. Is that creepy? It’s pretty creepy, right?
Andrea, I think it might be creepy, as in “hey, check out this site where me and my friends ogle you!”
It would a be a little creepy. Although if you deleted a few of these comments, it would be creepy but wouldn’t inspire him to file a restraining order. I think.
*sigh*
I was kidding. But it’s scary that you both thought I meant I would actually do that.
Oh Andie, I figured you weren’t entirely serious. You’ve never struck me as creepy before :-)
Really? Not even that time you caught me hiding in the bushes with a camera?
Wait… what?
sorry guys but grevers is taken, by a fellow swimmer at arizona
