Had two interesting battle with Ohio St. this weekend. Losing at #16 Ohio State Friday by only 0.200 points. Came home Sunday and found the 0.200 points plus some but watched Ohio St. score 197.500 to beat them by a full point. Judging from the Ohio St. reaction that might have been their highest score ever. It was the best team score I ever saw at Kent. Boy those fans were obnoxious. Got there early and made sure they had all the prime seats. Crowd was around 2000 with at least 500 Buckeye fans. Weird year. Kent doing well enough that they would be number 25 in the country any of the last five years. For some reason that score is only good for 41 this year. With only 2 meets left it’s going to be tough to get to 36th and get an NCAA bid. Hard to believe the whole collegiate scene got that much better in one year. Might be time to modify the scoring system when the 41st team in the country is averaging almost 9.8 out of 10. Kent used to toss a T-shirt into the crowd for any score above 9.5. They changed it to 9.7 this year because the cost of T-shirts was out of control.
