Michigan will beat Wisconsin CC

I will go so far as to say that Minnesota has a better chance of beating Michigan than Michigan does of beating Wisconsin!

Indiana, OSU, and Illinois for 4,5,6.

MSU, Penn State, and Iowa 7,8,9.

Purdue must be last.

That whore Ann Arbor will likely tire out the Michigan boys the week of the meet.

The mens stading are this concrete:

1. Wisconsin

2. Michigan

3. Minnesota

4. Indiana

5. Illinois

6. Michigan State

7. OSU

8. Penn State

9. Iowa

10. Purdue

Does Lex Williams really have mono? If so, how could he possibly come back at all? The Michigan Daily listed him as competing at EMU this week, but if he has mono, isn't he toast for the season?

Who are the four guys not running?

Will Lex Williams even run...I hear he's in pretty bad shape with his mono. I think Wisconsin should sit Eagon and cruise past a weakened Michigan team.

Williams won't run well even if he does run big 10's. He hasn't raced at all yet.

Can Lex apply for redshirt, then?

So you have Indiana, 5th in the GL higher than Ohio State (4th GL), Ill (5th MW), and MSU (8th GL) above Ohio St (4th GL),Penn St (6th MA), and Iowa (8th MW).

Not that it could not happen, but 'concrete' - I do not think so. Note that only Purdue has more than 5 non-Big10 teams above then in their region despite people referring to this year as not too strong for the Big 10 (for Men - women are more impressive).

the team that does the most night runs should win it all next weekend one would imagine.

You are expecting an unscheduled eclipse of the sun? If Purdue runs 27 night runs they will win Big Tens?

The biggest question I have is will Eagon be able to beat Withrow -- I am guess he will not at Big Tens because 4-6 weeks of general training and 4 weeks of hard training will not be enough to get into that kind of shape and rest up as well -- thus he will not rest up that much for Big Tens because he needs the high mileage for the 10K distance of NCAAs.

It's concrete that Wisconsin will completely dominate (as usual). Michigan has had this hype before and not come close. I am serious when I say that Wisconsin could very easily have all 5 of their top guys in the top 8 overall. Woods, Hoerr, and Rombough the only possible break-ups.

Minnesota could pick off Michigan.

Williams had mono in the spring cutting short his track season. It has not been "announced" what his medical problem is at this point. He ran unattached at the first Michigan meet finishing near the front but has not run since. Will be interesting to see if they run him at Big Tens and Regionals---he has not previously redshirted cross. Off topic, Forys ran well at Michigan's last meet--he ran unattached.

Forys will be a jersey devil next year. hes fast as hell

It has been report a few times that he has had poison oak.

I'd love to see it, but with fourth and fifth runners likely to score 70 points, it ain't gonna happen.

Jerry up there trying to pretend he's got this underdog squad because they're all so you. Withrow is in his 3rd year along with Stuart. Wagner in his 4th and even the freshman and sophomores are sophomores and juniors as far as years training up there.

Jerry should say, we have twice as many talented runners out of high school than any other team in the Big 10 and will dominate this Sunday as such.
