Oregon Ducks Top 7?

No Rupp bashing in this thread. You haters finally respect the dude huh?

Gotta respect Rupp's running. People have a problem with what a giant flaming gay idiot (I mean that in the gross icky way) Rupp appears to be.

Sorry Rupp lovers, he's a freak.

Wetsch is healthy and training very well this summer. She had a minor injury during the spring that they didn't want to take a chance with. She should be their #3 this fall. Not good news for Sammons. She is out this summer with more injuries, so she likely won't be contributing. Also, there is another transfer coming this fall besides the GT girl. Her name is Lindsey Scherf :) Not sure about her condition, but if healthy and fit, the Ducks should not have a problem winning nationals.

Barbie, have you ever met Rupp? If you had, you must likely wouldn't be posting this regurgitation of someone else's vomit. Rupp is a nice, well-adjusted kid who dates young women and comes across as polite and ... well, a reasonable young man with a Christian education and caring parents. The asses who post your kind of crap probably can't handle that this kind of person enjoys athletic success (through hard work) that you couldn't accomplish.

Drug cheat?

She isn't a drug cheat...she missed a test..huge difference.

Dettman's had a 1/4 for the first year, were they not renewed for yr 2?

Didn't Rupp go pro again. He is going back to College running again? That doesn't seem right.

Seriously I was thinking the same thing. I thought Rupp was pro now. WTF?

Rupp is not a pro, has never been a pro, and until he is, is free to compete in the Ncaa, while giving up 100's of thousands of dollars every year he sacrifices for the sake of his team.

yeah but, yeah but, yeah but, but he's still under the Knight/Salazar/Nike/Oregon wing and gets to train with these world class runners and use some REALLY nice equipment so it's like he's a pro and we are going to go on hating him for it. Because he isn't good, he just was nurtured into being good.

Forget that he may or may not train with relentless ambition, focus and intensity year after year and that he is giving up riches to do it.

We are not going to like this guy because he sometimes makes awkward faces and statements and has been more fortunate than us in so many ways. We are NOT jealous, we just think there needs to be more balance. We also think that some of the billionaires who still work 80 hours every week need to lose some money to us while we work on taking anonymous jabs at elite runners over the internet while our moms cook up some spaghetti with meatballs.

To all the people saying Rupp will run, just because he did last year and he may have said he's planning on it doesn't mean it's gonna happen. I say it's 50/50. He's obviously capable of getting in really good shape in such a short time like last year but he's coming off training for the OLYMPICS. He's going to need a break.

If he doesn't run, I don't think they have a chance against a healthy Oklahoma State. If he does they're looking pretty tough (still overrated).

Rupp will be taking the fall semester off, from X-C, just like Pre did after the Olympics.

Rupp said he will come back to Oregon for his senior year. Was he talking about XC and Outdoor Track? Or was he only talking about the Spring Outdoor track season? Whatever, he has always been good to his word....so you can count on him running for the University of Oregon this year. He is a talent, who trains relentlessly and enjoys himself while running. Let's support him and knock off the jealousy posts.

German has to run well next fall for them to compete with Oregon. Otherwise, their 5 guy is going to be too far back.

Either way it is Oregon's title to loose. Saying they are overrated is ludicrous.

Found some interesting info on the Oregon athletic forum site about track and cross country. The Ducks will indeed have two very high level lady transfers this year using their last year that they can compete. In fact they are already on campus and training. Also hinted by a very honest poster that there might be yet a 3rd transfer. Oregon ladies could put 5 in the top 20 this year. Also on Dyestat, a team member posts that Rupp will indeed be running this fall. The poster has a reputation of being honest. As much as Oregon is disliked, it might be a sweep this fall in Indiana.

German Fernandez ftw!
