Dave Geyer tried his best to be farsighted, to look ahead and think positively despite a summer filled with obstacles.
The focus remained on February, otherwise known as championship season for SEC Swimming and Diving. With LSU gearing up for its first meet on Friday, that road to February begins at the Natatorium in 24 hours against Alabama.
Geyer anticipated a difficult eight months to get to this point. There were tons of unknowns and a lot of hurdles to jump over. But, admittedly, he didn't think it would be as difficult as it's been.
