Greg Metcalf opens his mouth again, BS comes out

See, there you go, throwing shit at UW when I didn't even say anything bad about your school in the first place. There's a reason that UO was ranked as the most rude fans in the Pac-10 with twice as many votes as any other school:

And it's not just a UW thing. WSU even found UO fans nearly twice as rude as UW fans.

Now, I'm not a UofW or UofO or UofP grad - but I've met Metcalf; and spoken to him a few times.

Frankly, I'm not a fan. Seems to me he wants to be bigger than he truly is. Acts like a "guru" but isn't. And with Kelly Strong leaving, sort of confirms my opinion of him that he's difficult to get along with unless you do things his way. I'm a little disappointed about the whole Jason Drake thing as well; that seemed to be a bit too "convenient" in my book.

Now, with the UofW getting rid of the track at Husky Stadium, and no new track ready to go, it will be a test for Metcalf to see what he can get done both with the University, and with recruiting.

He has a laissez faire attitude with athletes - seems to not care too much about them outside of what he wants to get out of them.

I'm not sure what point "uw" is trying to make here, but he doesn't come across as wanting to address their problems, but rather trying to re-direct it to some football fans from Oregon. What is that all about? This paranoia that UW people here always seem to have about Oregon is strange. Maybe it has to do with Oregon being the top football team in their Conference, but it has no relevance to the UW cross country/track issues. I certainly don't feel that track fans are anything resembling football fans at any school. Just my two cents.

I had to laugh at that SI.com poll. The question was who are the "rudest fans to opposing teams". Was it strange that the Oregon Ducks had the highest score and that Southern Cal had the second highest? These are the two school who regularly lead the Pac 10 and win most of their games. I guess when you get beat by someone, you feel they are being rude to you (lol). The strangest score was Washington's. They rated third most rude, yet they rarely win a football game...what does that say to you?
