Proud UF alumni and an embarrassment to America

It really pains me that this guy is going to be our biggest male swimming star next Olympics as I am not sure I can cheer for him after watching 30 seconds of this. There is absolutely no way I will be watching this show as it will probably cause me to hate him and myself. After hearing interviews of him last year I was pretty confident in the fact he was borderline mentally retarded and a big douche, but this video pretty much clears it up and confirms it. Do the Gators on here like to claim him as a alumni or is it one of those cases where you just hope it does not get brought up? (Both of our school shave plenty of those people). Pretty sure this guy single handly devalues a degree from UF a couple of notches and I find some sick joy that he is a UF grad.

(View at your own risk)  Jeah.....

Wow! I hope they are proud of him. It would be more fun!

Oh no doubt he is a douche bag. A HUGE DB. But "devalues a degree from Florida", come on Nicky! He went to Florida to swim, that's all. I'm sure he'll never use, nor intended to use, his stellar degree in parks management or sociology or physical education or whatever useless degree that athletes usually receive.

That being said, I don't like him and I wouldn't use him as the standard "representative" for the UF (much like I assume you wouldn't use Chris Rix for FSU).

Remember, Lochte isn't repping the Gators anymore, he is member of the good ole' team USA. He is representing you and I now! And especially Alex! Jeah!!!!

His degree is in sports management. I see a guy cashing in on his 15 minutes and great American capitalism at work. I can't speak to his level of DBness specifically; but historically speaking, the more DB the more likely to receive a TV show.

Go Gators.
