It'll be interesting to see how things go at the Terrier meet at BU this weekend. It is a great meet and has been for years. We are hoping for some fast early-season performances there.
However ... in talking to a few coaches at the Gotham meet last week, budgets are tight. One coach told me his budget was slashed 10 percent and that he was to expect another 10 percent slice in the summer at the beginning of the new fiscal year. As a result, he is foregoing both Terrier and Valentine, meets that he has brought his team to in the past.
Some schools are traveling less and staying closer to home. The Great Dane (UAlbany) meet at the Armory, which has been an excellent meet the past few years, could be really hot this year as powerful local teams stay home and do not venture to BU.
We have been on a tight budget for years, so I cannot anticipate too much being trimmed from us. But you never know. We'll keep doing what we are doing until told otherwise.
In the meantime ... be sure to vote on my Super Bowl poll over to the right of this post. I will give you my Super Bowl prediction next week.
