Ousting Rupp from the University of Oregon

Just punish him by making him train with Michael Stember for a month.

Vin could probably arrange it.

Stop being so jealous of this kid, seriously. There's so much jealousy on these forums...it's sickening.

The behavior of Rupp, Saladbar, and everyone else currently on the Ducks crew is simply symptomatic of a deeper flaw at UO these days. That tradition died somewhere between Bowerman's retirement and Smith's "resignation". It's now all about style and flash and big money. There's no commitment to succeeding by doing things the right way, it's all about trying to get away with as much as possible without or before getting caught.

His behaviors during the Adam Goucher interview was embarrassing, to say the least.

is this interview on the internet somewhere? or on flocasts? i seemed to have missed it.

Just get over it and go for a run.

Like Salazar (years ago) berating a Frosh who had the temerity to outkick him in a workout?

Get over it. There are more important issues in the world, and life.

I'm so tired of hearing about how Rupp does this, rupp does that. Let's be honest here, Rupp is flat out GOOD. He's always been good and he's going to continue to perform well. I think it's been made pretty clear what his, and Gouchers intentions were during the Stanford Invite, so just drop it. It's obvious Salazar is a knowledgable coach and knows what his athletes need to perform at a high level. If that means he wants them to run moderately hard at stanford to get a solid effort in, they are going to do that, because they trust him, and his ability to get them to run fast. I don't understand why we still sit here and talk about why Rupp sucks and salazar sucks, it's bullshit.

Quit your crying!

Because Pre wasnt a show-boater? Oh wait he only told the AAU where to shove it, Ran sub-4 during a fire for sh$ts and giggles (couching blood), got drunk on a regular basis, and ran with the strategy of trying to demoralize the shit out of this opposition... lets look at the source of the byproduct before judgement.... is this the worst of your pathetic reason to bash the kid, because it's low even for letsrun... Last time I checked he was a good example of running fast, and working hard, more importantly showing other an example worth taking note of and following...

PS the only reason Pre has such a reputation is because of his show-boating... it's his unique characteristic, good or bad

I definitely agree with Gator, is this really something we should be worrying about? Rupp was put into an awkward situation in the first place by Salazar, who probably should have had Galen and Goucher run in Portland or Eugene, instead of at Stanford. If Galen hadn't been put in that awkward situation of trying to slow down in a race to stay pace with a sick Goucher, then this never would have even been an issue. The U of O track and cross country teams are going to be extremely, extremely good, and when that happens nobody on this board will be complaining about this race.

Can you post a link to the interview please?

is this supposed interview where Rupp is being disrespectful/showboating anywhere to viewed?

Go here and then click on the Adam Goucher interview.

He is a college kid talking on the phone whats the big deal. The kid picked up an auto Q for NCAA just leave it at that.

The first poster is a clear Troll. This topic is already being beaten to death in another thread.

what in the video leads you to say that he's being disrespectful. i don't know maybe you abide by the universal rule of courtesy and manners when talking on the phone by yourself but i don't really know about that. i really don't think it's fair to hold just another college student to this kind of standard. he didn't even know people would be watching him...

I suggest you train around 114 miles per week, do tons of intervals, work your butt off while everyone is watching their DVD or reading a good book, rise early and run when you would rather be sleeping, run in the afternoons when you would prefer taking a nap and miss some of your social life because to get to that level you have to sacrafice.

Do all of this and beat Galen Rupp!!! Once you have accomplished the goal of beating Rupp...maybe you will feel better about yourself and find your place in the world.

you know the old saying, just plug in the schools;

"if University of Oregon violates the rules, Portland State goes on probation"
