Hey mrr82 were you there, how the hell do you know what Rupp was thinking during his race and how he ran?
You seem to think you know alot about all the big guns, how is that so?
You go to Northeastern right? They are as bad as any Div. 1 program out there when it comes to distance running, why is that?
I'm more than ready for a white dude with dreds.Mineau's the man!!!

I'm quite impressed with Mineau's progession since HS. The world isn't ready for white men with dreds, but this guy has unlimited upside. Tear it up, brother! Who is this Rupp?
Rupp is the guy who is 21 and will run sub 13:30 outdoors, how can people criticize him. What time dose he have to run before he is considered a accomplished runner by half of the people on this board. Ryan Hall was getting spanked in nats. at his age and now he is one of the fastest xc runners in the U.S., and for the record Rupp would smoke McDougal in any race from 3k and up.

If Oregon wasn't getting any good recruits next year though, it seems like it would make more sense for Rupp to turn pro after this season, especially if it is a breakout season where maybe he runs low 13:20, sub 28, etc. He could then change his traning schedule to suit his desires and not have to conform to a rigid NCAA schedule
Does this sound a lot like something that's already happened once to anyone else?
Yeah, I do think after all the hoops Oregon's administration and coaches have had to jump through for Rupp, it would be the right thing for him to do to stick around. It's not like he has no competition in the NCAA, and it's not like he's stopped improving, so I really don't see any compelling reason for him to leave (unless he gets offered Webb/Ritz money).
If Rupp doesn't trash himself by competing collegiately, Nike will carry him all the way through, and he will be set for life. However, that's a big "IF." Didn't Salazar pretty much peak around the age of 23, with nothing left to give after that? Distance runners have only so many years of being in top form, and then the body shuts down. So it needs to be managed wisely.
i just wanna know why you can say shit but not bull$hit?

Hey f***ing moron. They had a video up of the race. So you see it had nothing to do with his thoughts, it's what actually happened. Mrr82 presented the facts, and you presented that you're an asshole and a complete idiot. Good job typtical letsrun loser.

I'd also like to see him stick around, but i don't thikn it wuold be a jerk move if he left. He's already done more for Oregon in the sense of distance running then anyone has in the history of the program, even pre. Rupp comes aboard and then wall comes, Vin Comes, Andy Powell comes, Kiptoo comes, Mcgrath comes, and now every HS runner in the world is coming trying to make Oregon a distance power again. All started with Rupp...and of course Salazar pushing things. So i don't thikn he owes the oregon administration anything. If he leaves tommorow they will still have what they wanted. A distance team that will be ready to compete on the national level very soon.
Also we also have to want what's best for American Distance running, not just the ncaa. Rupp could be one of our best, and i don't think the college system is bad, but i do think there is better.

For athletes yes. But as far as anyone I would have to say that Bill Bowerman coaching NCAA champions in 15 diffrent events did more than Galen Rupp has.
