Dear NCAA People - please let our DMR in

Why in the hell didn't you run your best guy?

Intelligence at a premium up there in Ithaca?

Hahaha. Funny. Most people on here are to dense to get the humor, though.

Haha, Rojo just trolled.

10/10! Had me going until the "we promise.." bit.

I will put in a good word for you if you take that commercial in the upper left hand corner off the front page because it keeps crashing my computer. Besides that, it is beyond annoying to have to click it off every time I go to the front page.

Is his name Adam Goucher?

At the moment I am surfing through LetsRun using a 7-year-old desktop that is definitely past its prime, and it isn't having any problems with that advertisement. It sounds like something isn't configured properly on your machine.

Mine is having problems too -- the video is taking forever to load.

They said they didn't run Jimmy because he was injured.

Please confirm this is a joke, because I can almost see rojo being serious about something like this.

It's mostly a joke. Everybody agreed to shut down Wyner's indoor season when he was unable to run in this meet, so he wouldn't be running at NCAAs even if they did take 18 teams.

But then again, if they did accept 18 teams, at least we could say we made Nationals ...

Goes to show how insane college running is this year. We think we could scare 9:30 with everybody healthy and running their best, but damn if 9:30 suddenly isn't all that awesome anymore.

Still, PR splits for Kimple, Levy and Miller. Can't ask for much more than having everybody PR in the same race, so good job guys. And of course super job to the buttload of teams who autoed ahead of us. Unreal.

Hey stupid asshole "coach": he's injured. Not rocket science.

I'll save evryone some time:

Deer NCAA People

yada, yada, yada

I don't freaking care if you let in Rojo's team or not just webcast your freaking meet OK.

The NCAA funds 284 plane tickets for NCAA I males @ the championship. All those DMR auto's just knocked a ton of individual provo's off the list. The field sizes will be significantly smaller than in years past.

It just happened in DII as well. Many field sizes are 12 at DII's this year. Look for many field sizes to be 14 or so.

I know you were joking rojo...but there no way c

To whom it may concern,

We are well aware that you have a problem on your hands as there are 17 auto qualifiers for the men's DMR. An obvious solution would be to run two heats. But if run two heats of 9 and 8 then the heat of 8 would have an unfair advantage as all of the teams hit the auto time.

As a result, we kindly ask that you let our team in at 9:35.13. Two heats of 9 would only be fair and 9:35.13 has always made the meet in years past. Plus we promise to break 9:30 as we didn't run our best guy and think we can break 9:30 if he'd run.

Sincerely yours,

Rojo

sorry, your not NIKE, you lose

Is Cornell sponsored by Nike? Qualifying times don't matter if your sponsored by Nike.

uhhh.. good idea we will run two heats but there are already 18 teams. Arkansas, Oregon, California plus the 15 that beat you last night.

Going to cost Mr. NCAA some bucks, will be minimum field sizes in all the other events.

And I bet not one of the teams runs as fast at nationals. Thanks for letting them run short, ND!

That all depends on how many people are doubled up on.

Letsrun has a DMR team? Whose on it??

I can't believe Rojo forgot this. Once he starts a Luchini petition and puts the Nike bit in, his team will be in for sure.

I was impressed with how they did especially without Jimmy. I saw the results and knew there was doubt on whether Jimmy would run but I figured he ran for them to run 9:35.

I watched the video and they lost a lot of time at a couple of the handoffs. But the DMR can't have 25 teams in it so I wonder what will happen at NCAAs.
