Is that really the best counter-point that you can muster, kid? Fake shock-and-awe? Amusing! My apologies, but simply proving that I am right and another ignorant, self-righteous poster is wrong is one of my hobbies.

As far as YOU are concerned, no hard feelings. When I was a 20-year-old college kid like you, I had an over-inflated ego too. You will eventually mature and evolve past that condescending attitude. You are a classic example of the type of college student that coach Matt Centrowitz was referencing when he said "That’s what I find interesting about these f***ing guys these days. They’re know-it-alls.”

Enjoy your holiday weekend, kid.

What a fabulous team of all stars this Adams State bunch was. Did Jesus Solis, Derek Yorek, Aaron Braun, Acensio Martinez and Jake Raines later make the Olympic team?

Other than a dinged up Stephen Pifer how was this a heyday team for Colorado? You are a joke.

adams state not competing at the dellinger meet has nothing to do with lananna and powell being afraid to run against them. the truth is that, dellinger is a division I meet designed to give division I teams a chance to compete in a pre-nationals quality race and earn points to qualify for nationals, and not about how a DII team can stack up against quality DI programs. Secondly, it is not wise for the coaches to let adams state compete because, although i dont think they could beat oregon, they very well could beat some of the other teams in the race and thus make those other DI teams less likely to want to come back to the dellinger meet in the future. The meet is simply not intended for a team like adams state, and no one gains anything from them being there.

More Oregon Bullshit!!

You might check the results for Stanford, who just raced at U Nevada in a meet that included unattached athletes and also Shasta Community Coillege. And BTW, the Stanford women didn't win. Gee, wasn't Navada afraid that by letting in a JC team, one of those quality D1 teams like Stanford wouldn't show up?

Pure and simple, Adams State would have put the lie to the 2009-1010 version of Oregon bullshit. And it shows the quality level of Vin and the others in Eugene, compared to Johnny Mac.

Way to be a complete douche-bag, for lack a better word. Nothing V6 posted deserved this type of response. I agree with him/(her?), do you really have nothing else to do?

He's had enough embarassment for one week.

-WHISTLE- TIME OUT!

Hey, "Kid:"

What do you want, my credentials, kid? Want a copy of my resume, kid? If I start listing off the reasons I'm more intelligent than you, I just end up looking like a tool.

I don't think I'm always right, kid, but once again let's refer back to critical thinking for a bit: the clear and obvious point of the post I replied to was to say that there was no way a defending national champion would be afraid of racing a D2 team. However, that argument is clearly flawed. What if Oregon had lost all of their top seven? What if they had NCAA infractions and everyone jumped ship? Then they'd definitely be justified in being afraid of losing to Adams State. So by me making the point that Adams State has, in the past, been able to beat some of the best D1 teams in the nation in the YEAR IN WHICH THEY WERE CHAMPIONS, I am getting at the essential aspects of his argument. Not just the superficial ones that he specifically addresses.

Your "reading comprehension" is pretty elementary, bud. I don't care how old you are.

TIME IN (Don't worry, your erection will return when you find another poster you think you can correct)

IF Oregon is not letting Adams State run at their invitational simply because they are afraid of the damage to their or other D1 schools reputations, if ASU beat any of them...then THAT is shameful.

Yeah, your argument makes much more sense, but since it apparently doesn't address the other argument (ya know, the one that doesn't make sense for all the reasons you described), then obviously you lack intelligence. I see the rationale there.

Adams State owns Oregon

Haha, do you Adams State guys sit around at practice thinking that if you make enough childish posts on Letsrun that Oregon will suddenly let you into the Dellinger Invite?

I have always been curious as to why you think misspelling both names of a TV character is clever or funny?

In EARLY OCTOBER! Means JACK SQUAT!

If Adam St. really wants respect then move to D1 and prove yourself in the NCAA champs. You may be the best in DII or whatever you want to claim, but saying "well we beat the DI national champion at that one meet that one year so that makes us good and the we're the major shit"...blah, blah, blah, blah" doesn't hold water.

You may be good in DII, but until you move up to DI and compete at the major meets and beat some quality DI teams, you won't get any respect around here. You're DII for crying out loud!!!! You're a second tier division, cry all you want, but until you move up with the big boys you're not even woth mentioning. Sorry..Move up or shut up!!!

Ditto!! End of thread.

by not letting adams run, oregon (lanana) is screwing adams chance to compete at the US center for distance running. is this how the people controlling our running scene should act? no, vin lanana you are a tool, with adams there it doesnt hurt your d1 bids or whatever your lame excuses are. oh and some guys dont have a choice of d1 or d2 because of money and education and other stuff. so once again, Oregon=Tools. way to not keep Bill Bowerman's legacy, way to not have any integrity. i hope your program fails.

you are a friggin idiot. any runner, any team should be ready to compete against anyone, anytime. trying to protect your rep from good teams from any division is chickenshit. kind of like you.

Not a valid comparison. Completely different meets. One is a rust buster in early September, with a mix of varsity guys and the "B" squad running an organized time trial. The other is a meet in the beginning of the competitive racing season, where you'll see teams run close to "A" squads hopint to pick up points for the NCAA meet. No one is picking up any points at the Nevada meet you referenced. You're comparing apples and oranges.

1. adams cant move to d1

2. the adams runners are not posting on this thread, most of them are probably out getting faster right now and they don't talk much shit

3. d1 runners are most likely tools, at least the ones on letsrun

4. now that rupps gone oregon sucks anyway, adams should race someone better and with more class, like osu and arkansas

Vin is chicken Sh*#. Vin told Coach Martin they don'y like to run against DII teams. Why you ask? Well because they know Adams will clean house.

Oregon can't win without Rupp (who they never coached but took credit for)

grow some balls Oregon and coach your own athletes

I used to visit this message board using my registered screen name every day, trying to help other people within the sport whenever possible. Over the last year or so, my job has kept me far too busy to do too much recreational web surfing. With a three-day weekend upon us, I thought this might be a good opportunity to catch up with LetsRun crowd.

Overall, I see that things haven't changed too much. An occasional beneficial thread on the front page, but typically it's just the same anonymous trolls bashing one another. Classy.

no sir that's a true story. on multiple occasions. oh wait, not if you want to get technical about, at the shootout they won't score all the teams together. only d1 together. so yeah, they dominate ALL those other d1 teams (all two or three others that show up...) now if you stack everyone up it would be a different story.
