Ole Miss Men at SEC Indoor.

1-2-3 in the 3000. 1-2-3 in the mile. The same guy that won the 3000, won the 5k. Then they won the DMR. Loaded with distance runners.

Where'd they all come from? And what's that goofy saying they say on camera?

Also, note the ESPN announcers; Stones and the horrific Larry Rawson were incredibly bad and clearly did not prepare ahead of the meet.

Winter in North Mississippi ain't that warm.

Yeah, it's all over the map. This morning is was around 50 when I ran in the woods; I passed the Ole Miss team, as I often do, and saw several of the 3K runners. It will be 70 this afternoon.

But when the Arctic Express dips down here, it gets very cold. It was 4 degrees one morning last January. I've been in tights, a shell, wool hat, and gloves for most of the past two months.

How/Why does Old Miss get so many guys to transfer there? Guys are leaving very good programs, places where they are running well to transfer here. Why?

Several Reasons Ole Miss is becoming relevant in its distance program:

let me preface by saying I ran there awhile ago, when we weren't as good and to see the level of talent currently there is unreal.

1. Ryan VanHoy: dude is a great young coach. Kids really relate and work hard for him and he is a big name guy in the future. Brian Oneal did numerous things wrong but brining him in was not one of them, obviously.

2. Ole Miss has always had some legit runners...just never this level of depth. (Brian Pope, Pablo Sierra, Bernard Kiruri, Kyle Lewis, Barnabas Kiruri). These runners have all one thing in common and that was coaching a good, young coach and not a coach off the "buddy system" who doesn't know what they were doing...read between the lines.

3. Oxford is a hidden gem for training. Whirlpool trails are a runners haven. Oxford also has two different soccer complexes for intervals./tempo runs..with one being the intramural fields. Also the IPF with turf field and "practice" track...they have access to h20 treadmill and a ALter G...so GOOD facilities.

4. New Athletic director has a high standards for all athletics. in years past it was just football.

5. The Coeds...yes, the coeds! the women at ole miss are worth all the hype they have ever received. Go to a game in the fall and venture anywhere, especially the grove and youll see.

Went to Ole Miss for the women. Southern women are hot! They always put forth effort to look good unlike the nasty New England skanks.

Did any of them qualify for ncaa this year?

The conference seems way down (in distance) this year.

5000m

Ryan Walling from Ole Miss and Gabe Gonzalez from Arkansas are in. Jacob Thomson from Kentucky should be on the bubble (13:49).

Ole Miss DMR is in, and Robert Domanic in the 3000m is on the bubble as well. While Walling did run 13:39, they aren't a star-studded up front (Campbell, Kebenei, Lelei) as they have been in recent history, but their depth is near an All-Time high (at least since 2000).

The link lost the filter for Mississippi but you can screen for each school.

Hello, Kettle? This is pot. You're black.

I moved from Michigan down to Horn lake for 3 years. One pair of tights and wind breaker was the most ever wore. Usually only needed a vest. Never wore a hat and light gloves.

I truly missed running in that summer heat out at Arkabtula Reservoir

By the way, Ole Miss is not Arkansas prior to Bucknam. Arkansas has gone 1-6 in the mile and 1-6 in the 3,000 m in the SEC with 1-2-3-5-6-7 in the 5,000 in the same meet. Ole Miss cannot win a meet with Distance only, so Arkansas is now a sprint jump school and doing it with probably with a second national title 4 x 100 M out doors. Indoor is just a season. If Ole Miss is so good, why did Arkansas beat their ass IN CROSS!!!

In 1994 Arkansas Scored 223 points in the Outdoor SEC meet, Ole Miss could not score 100, so grow a pair, this is a retarded thread, as 3:53 is the NCAA leading mile time so Ole Miss puts nobody in a scoring position in the NCAA Meet, grow up.

Somebody's feelings get hurt by the big bad Wascally Webels?

Has Ole Miss repaired it's outdoor track yet?

Thanks for nothing Ole Miss. sharecroppers. I had to look up what "hotty toddy" means because your athletes were saying it on camera and apparently it means nothing??

Fifth-dumbest state in America: Mississippi

The Magnolia State comes in virtually last place in two of the four factors we analyzed -- how many residents over 25 lack high-school educations and how many high-school students watch tons of TV.

Research shows that 44.9% of Mississippi high schoolers spend three hours a day or more in front of the boob tube -- the worst ranking of any state measured.

Similarly, the 19% of adult Mississippians who lack high-school degrees represent the second-highest rate nationally, besting only Texas and California (which tied for last place).

The Magnolia State also ranks ninth-worst for young people attending college, with just 52.7% of 18- to 24-year-olds enrolled in high education.

Hey "not troll", don't you have a race to drop out of?

75 distance points (in 4 open events + a relay) is quite a showing for Mississippi. Arkansas is a more well-rounded program and took the team title.

We don't have to put down one team to praise another.

We are going to talk about this in the WTW when it comes out. Ole Miss was great. And it's shocking to see Arkansas when without a dominant distance squad. But it does need to be remembered that Arkansas also won the SEC in cross country.

Heard a rumor that Alex George and the Ole Miss men came to blows during both the 3k and 5k. George was DQ'd from both events on the official results, can anyone confirm this?
