See just proves the point more. In no way do I think any of the programs, not WWU not AAU are bad programs and to get on the internet and start posting things like this is wrong, thats the whole point of it, yah people are pissed off but you dont go blame other people. See that when people need to shut up. I never said the whole WWU team was going out dumb, I said that going out in front of someone who has proved time after time after time he is fast is dumb. I'm sorry if the made you mad but the fact is I believe Bauhs is a whole lot better, and on a really unforgiving cross country course, I love to see other teams go out hard on this course because if you have watched ANY of the other races ran on this 10k course you'd realize that they can hold on for about 6k and then they start coming back fast. Any runner should know that. I dont think he should of turned around and let Bauhs pass him I just think that he was digging himself into a hole that would of made him not have as good of a race as he is capable of. And on that it was much closer the first race then it was the second race and if he didnt preform as well as he should of that it would leave WWU open.All that is being said is that it was obvious that WWU race alot different tacitly the first time then they did the second time and I think the tactics they where using was not smart ones on this course and they saw that obviously that if they approached it differently that theyd do better and then they went and did that in the second race. I think WWU is talented and given everything deserve to go to nationals but I'm saying I think things would of been alot different if the first race never had stopped.
And second this is what Im getting at, everyone saying all this bs about people running the meet wrong, insulting people and just being rude is wrong. Its one thing to get on the internet and say someone was running a dumb race, because everyone has and it isnt saying that they are a bad runner or that their program bad. But to go on there and insult coaches runners and staff is wrong. Alot of schools handled it nicely and the right way, but alot of school showed unsportsmen like conduct by insulting San Diego runners, stuff and fans. Both on the day of the race and now still on the internet. Its dumb that people got lost and it is even dumber that people kept going the wrong way after they realized they went to wrong way. In addition to all the maps signs and chalk out there, there was a video showing you the course and even showing you that turn on the UCSD website.
But still probably even after this post explaining even more what I am saying there will still be disrespectful rude insults at UCSD. I just cant see how that is good sportsmanship and is allowed. I hope something like this happens to all the programs that have been saying all this stuff so that they can take a step back and realize that shit happens and theres no need to go and disrespect people.
ps Im not saying that every single post has been bad but Im saying that theres alot of stuff that has been said that should of.
