There is a reason that the smarter people and the ones with real character are more likely to root for Solinsky than Rupp. It is all too clear that Rupp, even if he is a great guy, comes across as some pampered pussy boy who isn't worthy of carrying Solinsky's jockstrap. Now, I know, I know, he's run 27:10, he MUST be tougher than many of you wussies who wouldn't know what it's like to lay every last ounce of energy on the track. Yeah, he probably IS tougher than most of you fanboys, so sure, you don't understand why some of us find his ways utterly unpalatable. Actually, it is interesting that one of the toughest SOBs who ever ran is probably a big part of the reason that his athlete Rupp appears to be such a pussy boy. As for those who are getting their tiny fruit of the looms all in a bundie over legitimate criticism of Rupp, I think it makes the sport more interesting to have characters whom one finds to root for or against. Of course, it is all fairly innocuous and I hope Rupp runs well but I cannot stomach the thought of that pussy boy holding the U.S. record at 10000. Of course I would admire him if he showed some balls and did it, and then didn't subsequently prance around like a junior high ballerina girl.
