Did Rupp actually try?

On that basis, I give this thread a 10/10. Perfectly executed trolling attempt based on an otherwise obvious picture.

Saw the vid.

Rupp = toolbag

Jealous? I thought so.

Dislike is NOT jealousy. I guess you wouldn't know though, being a simpleton fanboy toolbag n'all. I can see how someone might be jealous og Rupp because of his talent, success, monetary and academic courtesies extended to him by Nike and the U of O. I can also see why anyone would simply dislike him as he comes off as a mugging, preening, prancing toolbag.

I don't see many people poking fun at Ryan Hall, probably because demonstrates some level of humility. Hall even has the "born again" thing going, he just doesn't make himself out to be such an easy and obvious target.

I think Rupp should wear a bluetooth earpiece, maybe color coordinate it with his breath-rite strip. This way he could stick to prancing and dispence with the gang signage.

Look on the bright side, maybe someday Rupp will mature, even a little would help.

Rupp yelled at Oregon assistant coach Andy Powell to confirm they had two laps left.

That happened right in front of me.

End of story.

Quit hating before I dump some DMSO on you.

thanks, I'm actually dumber for having read this thread

I'm sure nobody will notice.

who cares i wish i could give the peace sign and run that fast. if i could run that fast i would be doing cartwheels to the finish!

thank you. I couldn't have said it better myself.

is it just me, or could you all not stand those dumb long tights some of the runners are wearing.

What the hell are you talking about, nimrod?

He will never win a major race wrote:

If that's what he was doing then I have to question his competitive intensity and focus. It means he doesn't have the mental makeup to be completely 'in the game' with a sufficient focus to win when it really counts.

Bekele sucks at counting laps, he has done okay in "major races." Idiot...

Sure, like you would know, genius gamer.

What the hell are you talking about? Have you never heard of World Cross or Boston Indoor Games?

I think the best way to sum it up is...you make my brain hurt

What's any of this have to do with Rupp, jerkoff? Why the hell would you EVER compare Bekele to Rupp??

what now for CU?? wrote:

HA HA HA look at the background of that video and you see this screaming kid slap his mom at around 32 seconds!!!

Yea I saw that...that kid looks like a little bastard..

Yea... Rupp will never win any big races. Pre nats and National Qualifier are pretty easy to win. Geeez who hasn't won those. What are his chances at the National meet? Place your bets. Anyone that passes judgement because of that picture is a complete d-bag.

Were you born yesterday? Rupp has been acting like a nitwit since he came into the pro, and then college scene. Yes, in that order. I doubt I'm the only one to remember the flowtrack interview with ???(maybe Goucher) where GR danced around in the background while simultaneously talking on a cel phone and mugging for the camera, all the while being very careful to remain within the camera's view. It was as if he was a four year old dancing for his mommy at Xmas.

Rupp is destined to become one of the fastest American distance runners of all time. It is entirely up to GR how he wants to be remembered. Being in the spotlight can be a bit too much for some, remember Gerry Lindgren?

Time will tell.

Dancing around and acting goofy.. awww man that sounds like a kid having fun. Shame on him. You are right he should act like.. act like.. OK how should he act again?
