ARK vs. WISCO

This is a tired argument, if Wisconsin has a good day, they will destroy everyone. If Wisconsin has an above average day, they will destroy everyone. If Wisconsin has a mediocre day, they will win. If Wisconsin has a poor day, they may not win, but they will be at least 2nd.

I think fer shizzle said it best

I believe that it will be a very close race. Although i think that if Wisconsin runs as well as they have all season they will take the crown. Teg, and the guys took it easy at regionals and still dominated. If they can run together and pack it in the top 20 or so i see no way that they can be beat.

No one can compete with Wisconsin. No school has 3 guys that can run with Teg, Bairu, and the Rocket. Arkansas can put two up there, but the Badgers are just too deep. Wisconsin will win hands down.

Gee, might as well just do a give 'em the trophy and not bother with the meet, eh?

I'll bet a bunch of folks compete...duh...

I'll bet a bunch of schools send several (say at least 5) guys who can run with the other entrants...

Naw, A bunch of us want to see where MacDougal finishes.

Whozat???

i think it will be close but wisco will win. You have to remeber wisco has the depth. they chose not to run all thoses freshman this year like withrow and wagner. Didnt they have a guys transfer from montana that has been like top 30 twice if he ran it would be that close this year

Hands down? Please, its gonna be way more close than you think. Arkansas is arguably more deep than Wisco. I will say Wisco is the favorite, but it is very likely that Ark can win. You guys dont think so b/c these hogs are brand new. But, Shawn Forrest, Joseph, Marc, and Jason will all be in the top 20. Then you have Gunn, Bordes, Ahmed, Perkins, Norris, and a whole bunch more. All they need is for one of those guys to have a great race.

Shawn and Joseph are probably better than Cragg.

Hands Down, huh. Thanks I'm not going now. I do think Wisconsin is going to win.

kojo, you are a retard. move back to memphis. shawn better than cragg? whats shawns 5k pr? will shawn run 7:38 indoors this year with a 25 last lap? nope. you were a chump runner and even more of a chump predictions maker.

arkansas had a huge 1-5 gap and i doubt boit was pushed. how can you compare them to wisconsin?

Kojo- we better watch out for Norris.

You lost your credibility with the "Joseph (I thought his name was Josphat, or is he Americanizing it?) and Shawn are probably better than Cragg" - what a crock of shit, Cragg is one of the greatest NCAA runners ever (I realize he isn't as good as Rono and Nyambui, but you've gotta admit he is up there somewhere). We will see what "Joseph and Shawn" end up doing that compares with Cragg!

i hope CBS signs that new season contract with Walker Texas Ranger.

newsflash!!! Ark gets to run 9 at nationals because they can decide which man will be their 5th man!!! This could help them win (I think that it is unfair!!!!!!)

forrest may not be on the same level as cragg.....yet....but boit at 13:17 could end up doing as much as cragg did, and forrest at 3:45, 8:05 and 13:57 could end up doing good things - he is after all, a "freshman"

1-5 Gap for Arkansas with 2 of the top 6 resting is not really a factor, smart guy!

Hog Fan

i still think the edge goes to wisco, but i think it should be pointed out witha ll this talk of spreads, that matt gunn for arkansas was way back at regionals, and he has run as close as 10 or 20 seconds behind sandfort this year. If he can do that at NC's, the hogs could come close to pulling the upset.

i did talk to a friend who was at the race, and he said an arkansas guy who was with boit and forrest that WAS NOT sandfort was blazing through the mile in like sub 4:30. can anyone who was there confirm this was gunn? if so, that might explain it, and maybe he would run smarter at ncaas.
