GO GAUCHOS !..... is an independent and "inclusive" news gathering and alumni based voice for ALL THINGS GAUCHO (UCSB) INTERCOLLEGIATE AQUATICS !
Swimming & Diving
and
Water Polo
are our core constituencies and focus. We are bound and determined to be inclusive. A Gaucho is a Gaucho. We promise not to engage in exclusionary practices that would be divisive of the Gaucho Great spirit. We include. We will never exclude or play favorites. In fact, we welcome your support and hope you will contribute content, text and photos, etc.
So let's get right to it ! We shall begin with some photos of Gaucho Greats from these core groups just to get the celebration started.
Photo below: "Two Beers" himself, the man who started it all, Gregg Wilson, with his better half (aka, lovely wife, Carol), together the "Original Gaucho Greats":

An entire collection of Alumni Water Polo Players, Oct. 2005, for the Annual Alumni Weekend. Can you name all of these Gaucho Greats ?

One of UCSB's most formidable scoring threats, the charismatic and lethal Russ Hafferkamp (right), shown here with Beijing Silver Medalist, Water Polo, Brenda Villa, in Beijing where Russ was an analyst for NBC's coverage of Water Polo. Way to go Russ !
