JOHNNY woMANZIEL? You're old news. As the new starter for the Southern North Florida Dungarees I intend to revolutionize the sport of football as well as the position of Quarterback.

The position of Quarterback does not need to be revolutionized. If you play the sport with sound fundamentals, break your neck and return like nothing happened, and scream "Omaha" every other down; YOU WILL WIN 2ND PLACE!

Edward Cheserek, despite his XC and Indoor titles isn't winning one this outdoor season. Lawi will defeat him in the 5k and Kithuka will run away from him in the 10. Sorry ches, but the freshman magic ends now.

so.... about that...

Now NatetheGreat poster will go off into oblivion and change his handle. Another poster who knows nothing about running. What a loser!

Nothing worse than someone predicting someone won't win (and starting a thread about it) and being wrong.

I think it is such a joke how American homegrowns root for these Pez Candy Kenyans (they just pop out). That's the reason this sport popularity has diminished in America. Why can't we root for the kid who worked his tail off to make it there? Ches & Lawi have something in common...they are KENYAN! Ches is a lying age cheat who can't even sing the national anthem and name ten capitals! These message boards are on a witch hunt to put down Rupp, but gloryify the so called "King"? How is he a king when he hasn't even earned a national title, let alone beaten anyone worthy. I am with you on the fact that he won't win a title nor should he deserve it. Do you see Americans traveling to other countries and rooting for foreigners? Do you see foreigners rooting for Americans?

You, sir, are clearly on a whole new level of stupid. From the sound of your comment, you just seem to be racist against Kenyans. Whats the problem with Kenyans for working hard? Just because a person's ethnicity is kenyan doesn't mean they don't work hard to get to where they are at. People have been saying Cheserek is an age cheat which is ridiculous. Back in high school, they said he was 20 (which isn't true, but lets just say that by a miracle that you're correct). How did he suddenly become older than an entire collegiate field in just a year? Does that make any type of sense? On the whole Americans rooting for foreigners thing - wouldn't you want to root for a winner as well? At this time, America has no single runner who is dominant in any distance event so what would be the reason for a foreigner to root for an American who isn't the favorite? Many people root for favorites in events. One more thing, if you haven't realized that America has been built upon a foundation of FOREIGNERS then you are plain oblivious. I also don't see the logic in you rooting for Cheserek to lose because he's foreign. It isn't like if he loses then an American would win the even anyway.

And now you know why ironclad predictions - especially those accompanied by 'Mark my words' - are a fool's errand.

Kithuka looked like a chump last night. I'm starting to believe the Ches hype.

Yeah, just thought that it was worth pointing out one more time that the OP, NatetheGreat, was fuckin' WRONG.

I'm no particular fan of Cheserek (nothing against him, though) or foe of Nate--and I give credit to anyone with the cojones to make *specific* predictions of winners--but I'm trying to do a better job of remembering and "rewarding" predictions in general...both when they pan out, and when they go astray.

BTW if Rupp has little ones on the way, I seriously doubt he'll ever medal again in an outdoor WC or OG. I think he'll be an involved father, and that's likely to keep him from the training and recovery he'd need. But I'd be happy to be wrong, and I very well could be.
