Seriously this thread is an embarassment. Honestly guys, just check results on your own and stop bumping it up to the front page. The entire thread has maybe 10 different posters all trying to secretly give credit to their team, and nine of those posters are from UMASS, who apparently haven't tried in races yet. When did UMASS become Wisconsin? Looking at A-10 results over the last say 10 years or so it looks like not trying hard in races might just be who they are.

I didn't know that lets run was for Wisco talk only...
why not let the kids who bust their ass 365 days a year talk smack to each other...
they aren't allowed to party it up, stay up late, live a traditional college life and NOW you want to take their posting priveldges away, I never ran in the A-10 but just b/c it isn't the Big 10 doesn't mean they don't deserve the right to give themselves some shout outs.
The A-10 is good and getting better, plus all the bad blood between everyone makes it a conference meet that matters.
If you don't like seeing it on the front page start up your own thread on stuff that you want to talk about, maybe how you wack off to old videos of Solinsky winning NCAA's in the 5k...
A-10 gets athletes to the NCAA's so they are as credible as any another conference, making it to the dance isn't easy by any means, so blow me and everyone else that gives a hoot about the A-10...

Thanx Count
Okay A-10ers, lets hear it!!!
6 days remaining til the Belmont Plateau Summit
TOO close to call, hope everyone brings their A game
La Salle knows it will be close this year. This is why they have incorporated a secret weapon: Torpey's hair.
Although this news has been kept quiet in the La Salle camp, he has purchased Just for Men and gone completely brown in attempt to throw off the competition and evade Glavin.
A-10 athletes, don't let this foolish trick affect your concentration. Just run and ignore those guys on the side of the course trying to poke you with dirty needles.
Good luck to all, esp. St. Bonnies. Go get 'em.
The forecast going into A10s is forcasted for rain everyday for the rest of the week, and
Friday- Cloudy, periods of rain. Highs in the upper 60s and lows in the low 60s,
Saturday- Highs in the low 70s and lows in the upper 40s chance of precip 70% humidity around 80%
What effect will this have on the course and what teams will benfit from it?
belmont isn't too bad in the rain.
The Wisconsin reference was a joke relating to the fact that UMASS doesn't "try" in races which I can see was confusing. It had nothing to do with only discussing Wisconsin on the message boards. And giving yourself shout outs is lame whether you run in the Big 10, the SEC, the A-10, or the Southern Conference....
But what about the high humidity doesn't that atleast play in the favor of the 49ers?
it's pretty humid in st. louis from my understanding. Richmond also. Advantages? Or maybe the course being in Philly proves as an advantage. I'm thinking this one kind of trumps the rest...
No wait. Whoever is fittest and most ready to race. I'm guessing they have the biggest advantage.
if LaSalle's men don't win, the season was a failure. Duquesne is good, but they lost to LaSalle by fifty points at Lehigh this year and LaSalle has done nothing but improve since that time. Don't even joke that the humidity will help Charlotte...they are a joke (on the men's side), they stand no chance whatsoever. Chase Eckard had a fabulous track season last spring, but no event was over 1500 meters...this is 8k....he just doesn't cut it. LaSalle doesnt' appear to have a front runner like they have in the past, but a great spread from 1-5. The fact that UMass is being considered....laughable. Sorry, not this year...maybe the future is bright, it very well maybe, but this year...no way. You were spanked by both LaSalle and the Dukes at Lehigh this year, and I don't want to hear that you haven't run hard yet....that is a load of bull.
I can taste it
You talk about lehigh like its the be all and end all, but its not...It was how many weeks ago? It like belmont how? Are the same team gonna be there? ...........NO. Previous results help but to put Mass off as laughable is a big mistake. I agree that Lasalle is the favorite and should win but your making a big mistake discounting Mass and Duquesne(who has shown up pretty big at a10s the last couple of years)looking at this confrence you over 40 guys that have a legit chance to be top 15 its gonna be one hell of a race---

That was then, this is NOW
LETS DO IT Great Race to All
So what individuals are favored to win this year on both sides? Stay True Slosky, Big MIKE, Bend it like Benford, LALALALAL Llano, Fat Matt else? on the ladies side never mind papin is still there
Slosky will walk away with it. No one within 20 seconds of him. He will pull our Dukes to the title and Lasalle will be sencond. No team will be within 40 points of those two teams.
Go UMASS!
