The Return of the NC State Juggernaut!

One of the interesting things learned from that podcast was her saying the Katelyn Tuohy aura was what drew her to NC State.

Interesting factoid…Bethany Michalak joined her first cross country club in 3rd grade:

They aren’t this year’s favorite. BYU still is. It’s close.

Well there you have it friends, the guy above stole my handle. He not only is a thief, but he is obviously of lower intelligence.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but on this forum, in the case of the430miler troll that lies, steals handles, even registers them to try and prevent others from using them, it’s just a validation that these thieves are childish, if not possessed, lunatics

Split personality much?

After going back and listening to that podcast, I couldn’t find where she said Tuohy is what attracted her to NC State. Maybe she said that in her first podcast with him? Except, I don’t think I listened to that episode.😳

We can see the return of the still devastated Tuohy-ites lingers here, 😆

what made you think this post needed a separate thread instead of just posting in any of the other threads that are dominated by talk about nc state?

I did belabor it a bit. I understand where you are coming from, because back in the Tuohy era, there were trolls starting NC State threads practically every day, sometimes just to purposely trigger.

The thread specific to the simulation exercise was specifically to attempt Natty’s predictions. But it started going off the rails yesterday, when others were bringing up interesting side topics. This thread can be a place for those.

The 21 page rebuild gives a history of the rebuild, that I didn’t follow early on. But I’ve concluded this season that NC State is not only the favorite, but this thing could roll on. It’s not the rebuild phase anymore. although there certainly might be more reload going forward.

I think several things happened at Nuttycombe, and discussion on any of those can happen here.

I thought the recent trackallaccess workout raises some interesting points of discussion that are welcome here.

Why they NC State is so good again, and the favorite for the trophy, even when not everyone is seeing it, or is afraid to see it due to the pressure that comes with it, is fair game here.

I kicked it off with Michalak, because I didn’t know anything about her until this season. It was the Nuttycombe performance that prompted me to dig deeper. Maybe others will find it interesting, too.

But if this thread dies because I get bored and distracted with other stuff, and discussion reverts back to the “NC State rebuild” thread, it’s all good.👍

Because it’s obvious that Dominic Schlueter has made this thread as a way to gain some more views/traction for his “The Running Effect” podcast. A random cherry picked podcast from over a year ago that no one is interested in having a discussion about. The language is verbatim what the guy sounds like on his podcast. Odd move as things seemingly are going well for the podcast, but maybe just bored and wants some more attention. Little embarrassing. Anyways, hi Dominic!

I also don’t have a lot going on in my life so figured I’d just post for a little more attention 😊

Are we all now convinced NC State is the solid favorite?

Or is it possible that a team getting little attention is lurking in the grass waiting to pull off a devastating upset? 👀

NC State is not the solid favorite. I would say they're a slight favorite. BYU can beat them on any given day. That is why they race.

Right now, as it stands on paper, NC State is the overwhelming indisputable favorite over BYU, at least for anyone unbiasedly looking at the available evidence.

Keep in mind that no one is putting in true race effort for regular season meets. We are talking about NC State as the favorite just because they had better training, but many things may change as the race day comes. So NC State’s chance of winning the title is as good as anyone, I would put it that way.
