hey Jo bros...take the Terre Haute bashing off the front page

Both Johnsons, Grote, and Lear all grew up rich. Any surprise that they would have nothing but disdane for a town like Terre Haute? Post last week was nothing but positive- bunch of negative elitist's

who gives a sh it

I did not grow up rich but I have lived in NJ my whole life and I thought Terre Haute sucked ass. It was a great course and a great meet but you're only at the meet site for maybe 4 hours max. What was there to do for the other 36+ hours we were in town? I cant speak for the rest of my crew but I had more fun in Columbus on Saturday night. Drinking beer and watching half the campus of Ohio State walk around in #4 football jerseys and beat the shit out of each other was the high point of the trip. I'm sure there's a golf course in Columbus move the meet there.

Blame the meet organizers, not the city. You think a town like Terre Haute is going to have a huge night scene on Sunday & Monday nights? Puh-leeze.

So since the meet is in Terre Haute for the next two years maybe you can stay home. Don't think we will miss you.I heard tons of people said that they had fun. Maybe your group was like your high school days and you weren't invited to any of the fun parties.

Strange. I didn't think there was a city, town, village or hamlet in the midwest short on people getting drunk and beating each other up. Maybe I should move to Terre Haute!

who cares if the town sucks. the race was great as was the course where the race was held. as already mentioned, indianapolis or bloomington aren't that far if you are looking for a place to party. i know of a couple of teams that did stay in Indy and drove to the site that morning.

are you there for the party or for the race? if both, then make your own fun. God knows there are worse places in this country than Terre Haute.

we should be promoting and applauding ISU for putting on such a great championship race, not bashing the city. it's a great facility...be happy our sport has a dedicated facility of this type. i plan on being there again next year and can only hope to have half the fun that i did as well as seeing a great championship race.

the wayton bros who have nothing better to do....ugh what are you doing?.....you\'re posting on letsrun......just like me......nothin better to do....just like me...idiot.

dude- if you've lived in Jersey your whole life you should be able to sympathize with Jersey's many many ailing cities...that could profit from something like a Natioanl Championship, something, a source of pride, whatever the case- Trenton could use a championship- Camden could use an aquarium......oh wait.

Have to agree if you hated TH that mush stay home next year - we will not miss you, in fact the meet will eb better off without you Grote.

I'm with Waytonk on this one. For LetsRun to make sport of Terre Haute is strange for a site dedicated to distance running. 99% of the people who went to the races had a blast, and 99% of the people who visit this website would have liked to have been in Terre Haute last Monday.

The Terre Haute/ISU consortium that decided to build a fan-friendly, national caliber XC course in the middle of a Midwestern cornfield are visionaries on the same scale as the BroJos. The brothers should be identifying these pioneers by name and saluting them.

Instead of taking potshots at the town, why doesn't Grote regale us with stories from the race itself? Didn't he schmooze with the fans and competitors at the course and come away with a lot of good stories? Did he actually watch the races and notice a lot of cool stuff, or did he write his story by looking at the results?

If his buddy Brass Knuckles wants to have a good time on a football Saturday night, he can do that many places. On this site, though, we like XC, and the NCAA nats are one of our marquee events. Terre Haute, bland as it may be, has done a pretty good job putting on a fantastic event.

My old roommate grew up in Terre Haute. he went to high school there took top 8 in the mile in the state one year and ISU wanted him. He wanted to get the f*** out. He hated that town. He says that there is nothing to do, and its run down. He since has left the first college he went to, spent 3 months in Terre Haute, and got the f*** out of there again.

The race is great. the course is great

Terre Haute sucks ass as a town

well, we all know now that terre haute is BYOB! if i go watch next season i'll definitely go prepared.

Since you are in need of constant amusement and have so much spare time, drive your tired ass to Indy 40 minutes away. It was mentioned before you moron.

By the way, your Mom and I sure shared some quality time with each other last night.

Blow me.....

I havent posted on this subject since Nationals. We received nothing but positive marks from everyone involved with Nationals- the people who matter- coaches, athletes, officials, fans. Grote- I met your buddy who attented EMU- who said nothing but positive stuff up front, and just wanted to sell me T-shirts. You had my contact info if you wanted to be shown the town- its not Terre Haute's fault you hung out in the Knights Inn farting with other guys- and then sat shivering in your car at Nationals. The back of your T-Shirts said Clear a Path- for who? Clear a Path- we might just come to your town and stay in our motel and fart then sit in our car and fart at Nationals, that is, if you dont get out of the way. Even on your soap box, you come off as kind short? Next year- please find me and introduce yourself, because Ill give you the benefit of my doubts- please introduce yourself- and Ill in turn introduce you to the people here in Terre Haute who actually try and advance our DYING(!) sport. Say what you want about Terre Haute- it does a lot more to further XC than our beloved Garden State. I would think that'd be clear, but I guess not? Where did the proceeds from your T-Shirt sales go to? Are you donating that to USATF? Thanks for all you do man! We will install a parking spot near the finish next year so you can watch the whole race with the heat on, k?

The Nationals are business, people go there to watch business being handled....partying goes on in every other town every other place...Partying? Piss on that. I was there to watch runnin and talk runnin'

You can go anywhere and wear your lampshade...dumbass young people.

Grote's a punk ass pussy, he loves to talk shit with out having the balls to back it up. He's nothing but a short dick albino. His lame attempt at writing humor is a weak as the brojo's attempt at spelling.

The back of your T-Shirts said Clear a Path- for who? Clear a Path- we might just come to your town and stay in our motel and fart then sit in our car and fart at Nationals, that is, if you dont get out of the way.

Hahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahhahahahha
