“For our men’s and women’s teams to be represented in all but three events, it gives meaning to when we say we try to be a balanced program,” head coach Robert Johnson said. “I’m really proud and excited about that.”
How many did Colorado get in? Oregon will beat Colorado in the unofficial distance champs too. Easily. jus sayin #cluelessflotrack.
same scholarship money too.. ouch.
More evidence to support the fact that Oregon/fans are classless as discussed here:

.....who cares. Oregon is a great program. Full stop. Colorado can come back another time..
Anyone with character cares.

great, now we have "character police" ?
on a letsrun message board?
why don't you go to some failing private college residence hall and obsess about diversity and inclusiveness?
YEAH!! NIKE MONEY BABY!! WAHOOOO!!! GO NIKE!!!
Duck salad/mrs. Manners, you are making Oregon fans look bad to every non-fan of Oregon, even people that are neutral. Everyone knows it's a great program, but your posts on here make the fan base appear pretentious and unlikeable.

Really?
Every non-Oregon fan does a great job here of making themselves look bad, here, was that clear, here?
Here is not how fans really are at the meets, comprende, here?
When you get the very best recruits (Athletes) in the nation - not a lot of "Coaching" going on there.... Really just managing them and keeping them happy. And YES - Money does buy athletes as well!!! So yes - Oregon is good - but its not the coaching that makes them good. Common sense here people...
What is the record team score at NCAA championships? Seems like Oregon is a lock to score in triple digits.
Hey longtime D1 coach, I agree that Oregon gets huge amounts of talent because of the money and tradition but you still have to recruit and coach them. They are still "kids" so they are unpredictable.
When people make comments like yours I can only think that you must not be that successful.

Maybe the 1994 Arkansas team...think it was 94 or 95 points.
I'll set the over/under on how many of the brass at NIke are going to prison for bribing the Brazilian soccer federation at 45.
Why can't people just enjoy great performances without being sensitive and hurt?! Fans don't matter, teams do. If you are stuck on fans, you've already lost. Congrats to Oregon.

1984 Ducks hold the record.

Yes, and unfortunately it is true in the real world as well.

Duck salad bar, I know it hurts, but no matter how mad you get, and no matter what Oregon's runners do from here on out, it won't change the fact that at the most recent men's NCAA XC Champioships, Colorado won with 65 points, and Oregon was 6th with 221 points.

Colorado: already getting the golf course ready for the fall and they haven't had their last miserable failure of the spring
Was that an NCAA championship or is XC a club sport getting ready for special olympics?
Longtime D1 coach, I agree with Yahoos. The secret is getting them to perform on the right day. McDonnell did it year in and year out. Yes, he had talent after he got it rolling, but built that thing from absolutely nothing.
He always had his guys ready
Seems like Johnson does too. We'll know in 2 weeks.
remarkable that this juggernaut of a team couldn't dominate xc with the #1 and #1a runners in the field. 5th was remarkably bad considering that start. now they are showing their quality. it helps recruiting not only to have many movies glorifying your program but also knowing that the nike money will be there not only for the facilities but also for the athletes post-college, and not much left over for non-oregon americans.
