Official Notice

Let's Run World Famous Message Board

11/2/2018

Re: Notice to Cease and Desist for Fake D1 Team Members

Deer current and former Fake D1 team members,

You are receiving this letter because your team has been identified as having a D1 XC Team ranking higher than 135 at this time. (“Fake D1 XC Team”) Further, this letter is served upon due to the flagrant use of the term "D1 Runner" in reference to oneself. (“Activity”).

If you do not cease the aforementioned Activity a lawsuit will be commenced against you. The aforementioned Activity is causing irreparable harm to the brand "D1 Runner". Suggested alternatives include "D1 Jogger" and "Former D1 Jogger".

If the Activity continues we will immediately seek a temporary restraining order against you and any accomplices in this matter. We will also seek monetary damages to be proved at trial. Hopefully this recourse is not necessary, we have our own interests to protect and will vigorously do so.

You will not receive another warning letter. If you do not confirm in writing to us by the 15th day of November, 2018 that you will cease violating our Agreement a lawsuit will be commenced immediately.

Sincerely,

Let's Run World Famous Message Board

It is about time. These teams are an embarrassment to the d1 brand.

What were your accomplishments again? As programs, sure these may not be the cream of the crop, but I've known some very good individuals from schools on this list.

re: former d1 bag

Nobody cares about former D1 runners, whether your team was ranked in top 135 or not. Most people barley even recognize the world's most elite runners.

On a side note, the OP of this thread wears these shoes and also yells at fast food workers when they mess up his order.

Clearly this matters. We can't have fake teams dragging down the prestige of the real runners. The term "d1 runner" isn't to be used lightly. How will I know if I'm getting the real story on what a d1 runner eats in a day if the video is really from some d1 jogger?

Glad you took the joke in stride haha. Seriously, i get what you're saying. That someone who was the seventh man on a bottom feeder d1 shouldn't be bragging about being a former d1 runner. I get it. But, its a tough concept for a sport where success for the teams outside the top 50 is cyclical and finishing results depend heavily on statistical variance.

Doesn’t Centrowitz Sr. coach at Manhattan? Why aren’t they a better team?

Blah blah blah, yeah I'm a former D1 dbag but didn't really contribute

Maybe the rule is you can't post as a former D1 unless you actually contributed. Many former D1 dbaggies never scored varsity for their dbag team of other dbags.

re: former d1 bag

The NCAA calls them d1 so take it up with them.

Also, people from these schools qualify for the Olympic trials in some cases while people at the best d1 schools quit running after college anyway. So who cares dude?

You listed Southern Illinois and also SIUE. You need to clarify your position.

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS (Salukis) - Missouri Valley, DI Midwest Region

SIUE - SIU EDWARDSVILLE (Cougars) - Ohio Valley, DI Midwest Region

I know there are a lot of fake d1 xc teams. It is hard to keep them all straight.

SIU-C (Salukis) used to have a pretty good XC and T&F program back in the 80's and early 90's.
