Brian Sell is back. He will be running RNR Seattle. This race was won in 1:o5 last year so this will be the Brian Sell show this year. Step one for a fall marathon.

I guess he got a look at a Brit style mouth and decided that running was easier than dentistry?
Have you ever heard this guy speak? He is not very bright. His chances of making it through dental school are not good. Has he found a school that will aalow him in yet?
Yea he got accepted to Penn State and starts in the Fall.
I wasn't aware that you could tell how smart somebody is from hearing them speak a few times. That would be like saying somebody is an idiot for making uninformed statements, or not being able to spell allow correctly. Brian is very intelligent, and will do great in grad school/ dental school and anything else he decides to do. Unless it's a pizza eating contest...then I simply cannot back him.
On a similar note, I had a dream that Brian Sell and his team were training in a department store near my home

Penn State Dental School? or was that BS too?
Watch this interview you dumb shit.
Brian has NOT been accepted into any Dental School in the country. He will be going to Grad School (not Dental) at Penn State in the fall.
I've heard Brian speak on a number of occasions. He's quite articulate and appears to be intelligent.

yeppers. specially on that one springer episode.
You know your a redneck when........
You unretire one more time than Brett Favre.
You call yourself "blue collar" but you tell people you are going to be a doctor.
Brian has never claimed to be BLUE COLLAR. That was a publicity stunt created by Brooks and the Hanson Bros. Brian owns a house in one of the most yuppyville cities in Michigan. He wants to be a Dentist. He drives a Toyota Corrola. His wife is the primary earner. He is a stay home dad.
I always thought the BLUE COLLAR image came because Brian was a hardworking runner that was socially a retard. This enabled them to market Brian without him having to speak and Brian could let his running speak for itself. Brilliant, if you ask me.
Hermie wants to be a dentist, just the the Brian Sell!
Cut the guy a break, already. I'm sure there's immense pressure on the guy right now. When he started running well, there were no expecations. That whole Olympic thing may have changed things. If telling himself (and others) that if he doesn't run x at his next race that he's retiring gives him the motivation or ultimatum to run his ass off, then so be it. Who woulda ever thought a kid from a lil podunk in PA woulda made it this far, an 'at?
Besides, haven't seen any a yinz on tv giving interviews. Prolly takes practice, and stuff.
It doesn't matter how smart he is, he knows how to bust his ass to achieve very high goals. If he can will himself from a 10:06 in high school to a 2:10 marathon, you better bet he could be the friggin' emperor of China if he wanted it bad enough!
Thought maybe he dyed his hair...
In-depth interview from a while back which has some good info going back through Olympics, two Oly Trials and to Brian's college and high school running http://www.garycohenrunning.com/Interviews/Sell.aspx
