Stop posting about DIII, noboday cares

These trolls come out of their caves every year when there's a DIII championship. We'll see them again in June.

Don't feed the trolls.

One reminder. Joan Benoit-Bowdoin, D3. Olympic Gold Medal-Marathon.

Nuff' Said.

Damn right. She's also a trustee at Bowdoin. How many D1 schools have gold medalist trustees? :-)

The back of the pack at NCAA Regional in Boston looked pretty sketchy. LIU, Syracuse, Hofstra, Buffalo and the like. A decent D3 team could whipe these teams off the map.

Just because they run D1 doesn't make them great.

Josh Moen finished 4th at 10K nationals last week beating plenty of DI runners.

FEEEEED MEEEEE MOOOOREEEE D1 ANNNGRYYYYY PEEEEOOOOPLLLLEEEEE

oh wait, D1 ppl are skin & bones....on another more personal note, Id much rather find a smart, well-balanced, and easy going D3 girl who understands that there is more to life then running then some D1 fanatic who lives in a dream world thinking that they are going to go anywhere with that joke of a running career.

Get a life you D1 people. Don't end up living back with the parents. Keep studying. Make some Gs and raise a kid.

Then take that rugrat to the track once they turn about 4 or 5 or so and see how fast you can have them turn out a mile...and the cycle shall continue.

Actually I don't care at all about those coddled D1 athletes.

My beloved alma mater is D3, and always will be, and I care deeply about them. My Centre College team most likely took their laptops and books with them on the trip to Hendrix for the D3 South Regionals so that they could STUDY and work on their term papers.

GO COLONELS!!! KICK SOME ASS AT NATIONALS!!!

Btw, the 25th runner in the D3 South Regionals was 26:18 for 8km, or about 5:18 per mile. Not quite 6 minute pace.

let's relegate the trashing of divsions to NAIA, shall we?

DIII runners are not only talented, they also get an education.

i think most DI runners don't bash DIII, don't think they are going to have a career in running, and aren't "coddled". i doubt these DIII bashers even run DI

My son is getting an education, you can bet on that. He's studying to be a weed eater repairman and is getting straight Bs and some Cs and, well, a few Ds. Only one F but that was in large engine repair and he doesn't care about that. No As yet but just you wait -- now that he's a sub-32:00 8K guy he's on another level and his grades will follow suit. And when my son says Division III sucks you better listen up. My son knows a thing or two about running.

Negative posts come from self-loathing. If you like yourself, you cannot endure being so mean-spirited. But when being rotten to others matches up with your self-image, you can still sleep at night.

this thread is such a logical contradiction....If in fact nobody cared, then noone would be posting about D3. In which this thread would not exist. Therefor, people must care, and you must be wrong in your assumption. A better title would be "Stop posting about D3, I dont care" Or "Stop posting about D3, some people don't care."

Amby Burfoot, Wesleyan. Boston Marathon Champion.

Bill Rodgers, Wesleyan. Boston, NYC.

The List Goes On and On from D3...

the 25th runnner was 26:18, and the south region is by far the worst region to boot.
