career ending move wrote:
That is one sure way to end his career. If he hits a teenage competitor, he will never be invited to another meet again. They may overlook past drug bans (Houlihan) or even altercations with police (Kerley), but I think hitting a kid would end it for anybody. He ought to thank the guy who held him back.
Even Justin Gatlin couldnt return as a villian on that one, yeesh
Does anybody have the full list of track commits for UGA this year? I've heard Maurice Gleaton, Brayden Williams, and Sidi Njie. Pair the short sprinters with Brody Buffington and Jehlani Gordan and that 4x1 could be special. Njie joining a young talented cast for the 4x4 could get them under 3:00 easily as well.

I was thinking the same thing.
Georgia has only had one "great" sprinter, that was Mel Lattany back in the day.
Ah........so far.
Guess you've never heard of Hershell Walker, huh?
Well with that type of agressive behavior, he is about to get serioualy drug tested. The problem with track and field is when we have untested athletes running against athletes who are tested frequently. What these youngsters don't understand is that there are business interests involved where spomsors are paying athletes like Coleman. So when you show up and embarrass their athlete that they are spending money on, you are then going to get tested to the hilt. There was no need for that type of behavior after the race. I hope the kid and his coach are clean

What does aggressive behavior have to do with getting drug tested? And when did sponsors have an influence on drug testing?
You're talking out of your A$$!!!...Youngster!
While in HS sprinter Mike Farmer would stand a good two feet out in front of his blocks (yep, look at me only) he also wore one black sock pulled up to his knee. He would totally ignore everyone pre race and after the race, no skaking hands no nothing. He won most the time.
He ended up at San Jose State. there he was quickly humbled.
Only saw him once as a Spartan, no more sock no more standing out front. now he blended in.
Sprinters are high strung a bit surprised we don't see more confrontations than we do.

"High strung"?...there's other words I might use.
