This thread f'ing cracks me up.
1. If Ches had done what jordy did, Malmo and all the other haters would have blasted Ches for not taking the lead and just "sitting and kicking." (In fact, just check the threads of any race where he's done that and won, and likely the same folks on this thread will be bashing Ches for doing such. Haven't seen any bashing of jordy).
2. Speaking bluntly about malmo - he hates Oregon, nothing more nothing less. But take down the hate a couple notches. These are young men in college not radical Islamists intent on destroying the American way of life.
3. Oregon men have won the last outdoor and indoor natl titles.
4. Cheserek is the best distance runner in the country based on national titles, so when he loses (particularly due to suspect tactics) they'll be a feeding frenzy.
5. When you dominate (see 3,4 above), some/lots of people are just waiting for you to fall.
6. You don't agree with 1-5 above, why 7 pages of posts about a relay event taking place in late April.
Let's see what happens at the NCAAs in June. Can't wait to see how all the haters respond to the results then. Any bets on who wins his second 10,000m title?
