Stanford Men

this year, arkansas added boit and rodriguez and supposedly some sub 14 aussie. do you know who they are bringing in for 2005 or 2006?

I only know what the stars tell me.

i agree. The wisco ranking is accurate. however, stanford has the depth (not to say that wisco doesn't), but if something happens between today and nationals, then stanford has a slew of runners who could fill in the other spots.

the argument, or the winner, in my opinion, comes down to which team has the most heart. now, it could argue that wisco has more talent, since they have really had to build their program. stanford, does have heart, since they want to repeat as champions. the remaning question: WHERE IS HALL???

I think Stanford can win without Hall. Am I deluding myself?

I love it when you say WISCO

Hall is racing tomorrow....The whole squad is.

U sure? according to their website he isn't.

Hall is fit as shit. I saw him doing a workout with his team on the Stanford golf course, they were doing 1000s, Hall was finishing about 8 seconds ahead of the group looking very controlled.

he also ran 7xmile with 3 mins recovery going 6x4:40 and 1x4:15.... a month ago

Hall is an unbelievably talented runner

however, am I the only one getting sick of his bullshit about never racng more the 3 times a season or somethin

or never showing up because he "doesnt feel fit yet"

halls fast and showed last year he can get it done but his strategy for going through a season is pussy

Anyone witness this workout? What was the impression you got from watching it? Tinman

hall is fit, boys

How can anyone say Stanford has better depth than Wisconsin? Stanford is great no doubt, but how much depth do you need on a CC squad...at most 10 I would say.

Head to head I would say Wisco could match up fine with Stanfords top ten. Who cares after top ten?!?

Dude, there is no way that Hall could do that to Garret Heath! Heath is an animal as all of you will see today. He might lose to Ryan, but not by much. He will kick Nef's butt. You watch. He is the new star on the farm. Now that the ski shit is in the rearview mirror he is really gonna shine and make these gys forget the LDS guy and Sage!

Wisconsin has some names....no doubt about it. I still think the depth factor goes to Stanford. After this weekend, I believe Stanford will steal one or two first place votes from Wisconsin. That is the way the polls will read until NCAAs. At that point, Stanford will have an entire stable of 24:15 8k(or better)guys to choose from. Whoever is at the top of their game will get to run in the big show. Wisconsin doesn't have this luxury. Inevitably (since they train on the edge) somebody will be on the decline come NCAAs. That person will cost them the title. Bairu will be their top guy and place well, but Stanford is going to have 5 in the top 20.

The only complication to my plan is the health of Hall. That said, I think Stanford could win without Hall.

hmmm,

You're assuming Hall is electing not to race when decisions like that are usually left to coaches.

Look at the Chili Pepper Results with 3 guys under 29:50 and tell me if you think Arkansas is not in the race?

that course is not 10k.
