HaHaHaHaHa! You sure pwned that grammar n00b. Everyone with an IQ above freezing can see he should of wrote it like this: Stember never would of won a race. See how much better it sounds when you don't split the "would of" with "never"? A guy with grammar this bad could never of graduated. |

Ooooh. That and $5 will get you a latte at Starsucks. Sorry, not impressed by any of that, I've seen much brighter lights in my time. |

Yeah, sure, we all have. But funny thing - as a rule, it's the part-time recreational runners or non-runners who can't really appreciate the sport and wind up calling a "mere" All-American a "never was." Most truly elite runners view the "lowly" NCAA All-Americans and 4:01 milers as brothers in sport and pretty high achievers. |

You snotty Ivy Leaguers crack me up. Switch the names of the schools and the runners, and it sounds like one of those D2/GLVC catfights that crop up from time to time. It's nice to know you're just like the rest of us. Except you choose to DQ runners who show emotion and we commoners don't. |

Bruce Hyde may wiegh a duece, duece and a half, but he couldn't hold a candle to David Chalmers. Fact. |

Typical? i would hardly call me typical. I'd say I'm in the bottom 5% of the Ivy league, grammar wise anyway... |

Sure. |

None of my brothers who have achieved all that (and far more) go on message boards thumping their chests and declaring that they have such rare, special insights they've gained from the oh-so-lofty heights they've been to in their lifetimes. To a man, they at least have enough humility to not stoop to that type of behavior. And, yeah, we're talking at least a couple of levels above conference champion and All-American in college. They'd laugh Wyner off as a typical brat, I guarantee it. |

The term "old boy" usually refers to a graduate of the given school. Fred attended the University of Pennsylvania. If you simply mean that Fred is an old person--well, he's not *that* old. Is he 60 yet? Don't think so... In any case, Frenetic Fred Samara was an, ummm, "intense" competitor himself. He was highly emotional and used that to fuel his performances. When he was at Penn, they were probably the leading program in the Ivy League; and he was widely disliked for some of his "antics." He was also respected by most as a great athlete and a hell of a competitor. I guess, upon reflection, that I simply don't know whether the officials made the right call or not. Maybe--I wasn't there, and the officials certainly had a better grasp of the *entire* context of the incident than I. And it doesn't particularly bother me if the DQ process was started by F. Samara. (Has that even been established?) Coaches are within their rights to protest; it's up to the officials to approve or deny the protest. What I *do* think is that the Dartmouth team should be officially censured for their booing. There's no call for that. More: You don't want to establish the precedent of booing's having potentially influenced an official's decision. |

Censured...what is this, the US Senate. You guys are a real laugh. |

All you non-ivy guys are just jealous because your only job prospects are working retail at Gap or Nordstrom. |

Suck it, Bruce is one of the few people here who doesn't hide behind a clever name like Suck It, Dropout. When you give your real name and share your stellar resume I'll hold an AA and 4:00 guy with a little less esteem. |

After seeing the interviews with the officials on flotrack, I have to agree. |
| Suck It, Dropout. |

Really couldn't care less about YOUR feelings, I was only expressing my own. Have a nice day. |

Pathetic. You got owned and had a very sad comeback. |
| Suck It, Dropout. |

I'm sure you believe that. Thanks for confirming that a nerve was struck, I'll sleep better at night now. |

Oh yeah, and you're the pathetic one. |

There is a pretty good chance that Bruce Hyde has had sex with *Suck It, Dropout*'s girlfriend. |
| Once in Ithaca |

Purely taking into account his sample size it seems possible. If you add in the fact that she's probably overweight and has low self esteem it becomes likely. |
