You are so funny (and wise, heheh) Carla. =)<BR/><BR/>I missed the comps. on Sat. but I caught the second part on Sunday.

Carla, that story is hilarious!<BR/><BR/>I told everyone I knew to watch the Duel on TV, so hopefully every little bit will help. It was just great to see swimming on tv again.

Carla NICE job, that totally made my day.<BR/>I'm so sad because I thought that the Duel was being covered by some tricky channel that I didn't have. But alas, I have it, and have now missed it completely. Oh please let there be videos online!

I was able to watch Part 2 today and tape it - I'm so happy that a swimming event was finally shown on TV - hopefully the ratings were good enough that NBC or other sports channels will start broadcasting more swimming stuff - seriously, I think we'd all rather see swimming on ESPN rather than poker or food eating contests, when last I checked weren't even sports. ;)

I updated Texas Trio with some screencaps from Duel in the Pool, including caps of Brendan. I've got more to add later, but I thought those were a nice start.

mrs. h, you would be so proud of me today...<BR/><BR/>i came on here this morning and read what you wrote..then around noon-ish when the Duel was showing (don't worry i got it taped), i went shopping and went with my brother into Sears, Circuit City, and Best Buy...and between 12:30 to 2pm, i turned EVERY SINGLE one of their TVs onto NBC for the Duel...<BR/><BR/>hope that helped a little bit heh

Mrs. H, Is there anything we can do to help swimming become more visible? Would an email (sports@msnbc.com)or a letter to NBC Sports be helpful? I don't quite understand how it all works. If you have any info that'd be great. I'd really love to see swimming televised more often. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, <BR/>-Donna- <BR/><BR/>p.s. Congrats to Brendan! It was lovely to see you detailed on Duel in

haha..i came here to vent about NBC skipping the mens 200 breast but it looks like a few beat me to the punch..<BR/><BR/>but like lala said..they did air the meet in the first place which is a step in the right direction. i watched it both days and it was so exciting. <BR/><BR/>as usual Bren and the rest of the trio did great as did Phelps and the rest of team USA!

Man, I miss it yesterday (*crosses fingers for eventual video*), but I'm watching today and they skip his event! What is that?! <BR/><BR/>*sigh* Still watching in hopes for another sighting in an interview...commercial....anything....

What?? They just skipped the 200m Breast events! <BR/>I am not going to curse them.. at least they are showing the meet. But why Bren's race?! They skipped the women's too and their 400IM. Grrrr.... But I saw B-Dogg in a commercial. Weee!

I definitely watched it yesterday and will be today. It's been great to see swimming on TV again. Who knows when the next time will be? Helps my withdrawl from Montreal be just a wee bit easier!

Shoot girl. My sister's wedding shower is today, but I wouldn't miss it for the world, I already set my DVR.

I really hope everyone can make an effort to watch it today on TV. Mutual of Omaha finally got the network to televise the meet. NBC will see how many people are interested in swimming and will take a poll to see if it is worth it to do something like this again. If they feel they are not going to get the viewers, it will be the last time they air the meet. This is why the World meet is not

It seems quite a few people are waiting for a tape being put online. Will there be a chance of that? Anyone? Pretty please?

haha yeah, lala I *think* you may have kinda given too big of a hint to the second showing ;) I totally didn't see him on our side of the bleachers. ha. shameful. but somehow, I'll live.

Dangit! I didn't know there were two parts, and I missed it today. I thought they were just replaying it on Sunday. Phooey. <BR/>Hopefully we can at least see parts somewhere on the internet.

I wasn't home today, so I asked my dad to tape it and he forgot! Is there any way I can watch the first part online?
