Tell me why...

I guarantee someone was about to say "but what about Webb?!?!?!?!?!" until I posted this.

And I guarantee at least someone else will still post something to that effect just for the hell of it now.

Kathy Kroeger is from Tennessee. Is that in the South? I guess she didn't do too well...

Great proof... One person on both sides. The south consistantly has the worst team at Footlocker, on the men's side and has the weakest collegiate runners (who originally came from the south in high school).

except for the Texas runners. Texas has made the south our bitch, and we screw it every year. Name one good runner (male because females don't matter) who has come out of the South besides Allan Webb who wasn't from Texas. Texas rules, and if you don't like it, suck it.

I would be willing to bet that Kroeger could outrun you, and your sweeping generalizations and sexism are amusing. Go dream about running in Footlocker. I'm sure you aren't even close to capable.

where's the sexism? Now I know that the women don't really matter, but he didn't even say anything about them.

Also, what if he'd rather dream about boning a chick than running in Footlocker? That's what most normal people would dream about. Hell, I would too if I was normal.

Have you noticed how early alot of the South Team's State's meets are (camparitavely (sp))? Plus, I implore you, run down here all summer, and "Fall" (if it can even be classified as that wher I live), maintain mileage, not burn out (literally, from the heat), and then go to FL fresh. Kinda hard--just a little bit.

To stick with the name theme... Why are you so sure I couldn't beat Kroeger? My running ability has nothting to do with the fact that the south produces less runners than every other region in high school.

How was anything I said, in any way, sexist?

Remember, it is easy to just sling insults. Next time try to use a well thought out and tactful arguement.

Rather than throw out insults, why don't you explain why the South region gets last at boys' footlocker every year?

It's not a 'sweeping generalization' if you have solid evidence. Go to footlockercc.com then go to 'history' and you will see that the south boys have lost a disproportionate number of times.

Southerners are fat and dumb? That's not a sweeping generalization?

Okey, dokey...

Imagine running your state meet in mid-October... Now, you are trainning in 10 to -20 degree weather for six weeks before running footlocker west in 90+ degree heat. Seven days late, you have to run back in that heat that you have not trainned for.

You can beat the heat by trainning in the morning, I have done that. Just wake up at 6 AM. Not hard. If you want to be good it takes sacrifice. Maybe southerners just aren't willing to sacrifice...

Good try.

I never said I didn't use sweeping over-generalizations. I said I was not sexist and that my running ability doesn't matter in this arguement. I just want to know why southerners are not any good at running. PLease tell me.

Consensus, South sucks... But why people? Why?
