Watching NCAAs and theres too much Oregon promotion

Go out and tell other cities to care about T&F. Good luck with that. Keep us all posted on how its going.

Bringing it up every chance they get. This is wrong for our sport. Slime ball set up.

No they do not sell the place out each day. Look at the stands. Rotate the NCAA championships!

I don't know who will remain in the NCAA because most of the top track schools will be in the Power5 in a few years which will have their own rotation.

haha that's funny, there isn't even anyone in the stands at Hayward field.

and Hayward is tiny! they can't even pack that stadium

I seent Vin this morning at the Eugene Mission passing out free tickets and Malt Liquor to our exceptional clientele.

Right. Even a city like Los Angeles which has very rich T&F history has given up on big meets. What happened to the Home Depot Invite??

Really? I am way far away from being an Oregon shill, but seriously?

This meet is well run, fan friendly and folks are knowledgeable, it must really piss people off that folks care about it.

Look it is the first day and it is a big graduation period for almost everywhere,and it's Oregon's home turf, and they are in mix on guys and girl's sides, of course they will be mentioned all over the place.

Let's put this in perspective. Today's attendance - 9,165 - is higher than last year's - 9,001 also in Eugene - and nearly more than the 2011 & 2012 day on totals combined in Des Moines (5,713 for 2011 and 4,052 for 2012).

Hayward has the four day record for NCAA attendance which was 45,847 for 2010.

I think it was the OP who was crying.

And what is it with the stupid Nic "doping NOPers" ? Is it supposed to rhyme? NOP rhymes with top, as in the best. Dope rhymes with mope as in the losers who are always making accusations without any facts to back it up. Just a bunch of negativity from whining a$$ losers.

They can't handle field event results in metric. That is not "knowledgeable."

Please tell me what T&F meets in the US don't post field events in both metric and imperial measurements. Feel free to include any youth, high schoo, college and professional meets that don't post both. Oh, what's that? You can't name any?

Just more negativity from the mobs at liars rant.com

you can't spell NOPe without EPO

all NOPers are dopers

Really, that's the best you can do, you dope.

Hey, You also can't spell dope without EPO. Extraordinarily Pathetic Odium (since you probably need it, translation: you got a very high level of hate going)

Just more asinine innuendo and accusations from frustrated little boys on losers rant.com

Boy are you stupid. You have pointed out that the entire country is ignorant, and not just Eugene. Good for you.

But the rest of the country does not call itself "track country." Eugene embarrasses itself annually by inviting the world to an IAAF elite event to be cheered on by "knowledgeable" fans who still aren't aware the IAAF has been METRIC-ONLY since the 1960's, or that the IOC has never used anything but metric.

Sorry to break it to you, but if you don't know a 2.40 high jump from a 2.25, or an 86 meter javelin throw from an 82, you know nothing at all of track and field. Knowledgeable fans can watch Zurich and Brussels without Dwight Freaking Stones translating the marks for them.

I can tell you have never lived in Eugene. Only tourists fall for the track town hype.
