He wears the Brooks Green Silence, which is being talked about in another thread!

I wondered what he was wearing at NYC Half when he ran 1:04.

HAHAHA, there are maybe 10 people who get this reference.

Is this from back in his Virginia days when coach asked him to leave because he told a teammate that he was sexually attracted to him?

Eggleston, plus Gotcher, plus Vega equals another era where a lot of tremendous American runners are forgotten because there were so damn many of them.

As a native Rochester runner and friend of the smaller Jeffery, I appreciate the joke

Rochester Michigan? or Rochester New York?

I've been around long enough to have been a UVA alumnus twice and I can't say I have ever heard this.

I'm not sure what your problem is with Jeff, but slandering him here is cowardly and childish, and hiding behind the name UVA Alumni makes a lot of others look bad. So thanks in advance for shutting up.

Anyway, nice race Jeff, a number of us were glad to hear about it.

Phenomenal race Jeff. Figured you would run a fast marathon one day but didnt expect it in your first try . . . amazing.

btw, I think he got kicked off of UVa's team because he wanted to spend a semester in Europe - I never heard anything about the teammate thing and it sounds like BS because I remember him having a girlfriend

Yeah, semester in europe...coach didn't like it.

Funny guy though -- glad to see him do so well.
