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

No one ever ripped on the course or the meet, which were obviously superb. But come on, can any of you really claim that Terre Haute isn't a complete waste land? I mean, any time I mention something about Terre Haute to anyone who's ever been there before or lived in Indiana, they ask why the hell anyone would voluntarily go to that shit hole. Personally, I don't care one way or the other, like many have said, I go for the race and don't expect anything out of the city anyway. But even the Waytons have been known to rip on it. And who are they to be soapboxing someone else for talking shit?

Hahahahah. That made no sense. I need some shoes, so Brother Kurt and I will head to Bedminster to straighten Grote out over the holidays- he can take me out on the town- over to the Country Club. Or maybe we can all share a bowl of cereal. Terre Haute will come to you.

We'll have a holiday 'Grote catch'? Toss the Grote? Spin the Grote? Do you have Size 12's? Need two pairs, Brooks Beast.

I love it when all of you Jersey-ass punks rip on the South and the Mid-West.

If you don't like these parts of the Nation, why not go back to your cities and shut up. No one cares how you feel about their town.

Besides, if you were in Indiana last week and you were not running, you are a freaking loser.

Well, that's just it. No one ever said "come to Terre Haute for the night life and culture", did they? I was under the impression folks came for a cross country meet. And, as other posters have indicated, the NCAA doesn't do the city any favors by scheduling the meet on a Monday, which means those who want to go out and have a good time are looking to do so on two of the slowest nights of the week -- Sunday and Monday.

TH is indeed not a great town but if you actually try to look for something to do instead of waiting for it to come get on its knees in front of you youll make the best of it,

ive been to TH more times than i can count and never has it been as bad as grote makes it out to be. he talked all this bs about going on a bender and scaring the folks in TH but it ended up being him sniveling in the knights in while those people he complained about were living it up the way he talked he was going to do. grote comes across as old, stuffy and stuck up.

Geoff you actually dont wear the Beast do you? thats nuts. Did sluder grow a mustache again for the trip down?

Size 12.5 2E, Passat Grey- Grote order it NOW

I grew up in a small town...and I couldn't wait to get the heck out of there. I am guessing most people are that way. Doesn't mean the town sucks.I was born in Terre Haute....which might explain a lot about me..sigh. Most midwest towns are slower pace and are as good as you make it. Terre Haute is the same way.I think Hall can set people up with the MC Stabil or did they discontinue that???

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.

Terre Haute is fine- at least it tries. Grote reminds me of why Im glad to be in the Midwest. I hate North Jersey.

Wayton...you got it. If you're just f-ing with me, there will be lines of people out the door to be that same exact shoe, anyway.

I would stay in Jersey, if they had the damn meet there...they don't, so I went to Terre Haute. I'll stop complaining. No regrets about the trip. I'm overly critical I guess. Whatever. I'll be back next year.

Anybody who wasn't running is a loser? Ummm...I'm out of eligibility. How about guys like Torres and Ritzenhein? Are they losers, too?

As for the bender, whatever. I enjoyed myself enough on Sunday, as did everybody else I was with. I was not the champ of my group, that goes to the guy who completed "Case Day" and then some, but I had my fair share and some things got bent.

Grote

Only took me 12 hours to change your mind- hold those 12.5's

wow- a Terre Hautian that doesn't like the town, a real rarity...I grew up in NJ and spent 5 asmazing years in the Haute- I don't know of many people who had a better college experience than I did- my guess is that your buddy just wanted a great change of pace- good for him- doesn't mean TH is horrible.

hey man- there are surely better places than the Haute- but when people start suggesting that the meet be moved because the town's so bad- then I speak up- if you're a good time you'll have good times- and one can have a ball in Terre Haute if you can 1. laugh, 2. talk to people, and 3. dance like Wayton- of course there's better options in other cities- but it's tough to blame the Haute for your poor way with the ladies or your overall booradliness.

Are most runners in Western society better at drinking than running

completely due to size problems, but I really don't want to talk about that.

OK Ryan you hated the Knights Inn so much well then get off your butt and make your room plans NOW. I did last night and have a great place with a HUGE free breakfast, free LONG DISTANCE, and high speed internet. The place is clean, calm and lots of fun.

Oh and so you know you can avoid your loooong drive and another reason to complain by simply flying from Newark to Indy then taking the 55 minute drive.

So get off your boney butt and get working on next years trip
