Patriot League XC 2015

Army is unable to field a team due to heavy pillow fight casualties.

Navy could make it to nationals as a team this year. I think that is note worthy.

This thread is as lame as Bucknell's XC team.

Any thoughts post-Paul Short/this weekend's results?

It was a good day for me in the Brown race. My sons' school looked better than they have in years and my old school got the win. Congratulations to both.

Predictions for patriots:

1. Navy - Just hunks. I hope they both make it to nationals and defeat ISIS, in no particular order.

2. Army - Always the bridesmaids, never the brides. Do you think they get pissed when Navy beats them in a competition that can only take place on land? I hope Army is better at sailing, but I'm too lazy to check if that's true.

3. BU - Is big dick still running? Is that other guy that looks like big dick still running?

4. American - Almost always peak well. Papa Bear Centrowitz is an American hero, no pun intended.

5. Lehigh - I am extreme; Lehigh! I miss when they were good.

6. Bucknell - Their distance runners almost always bomb, except for that one kid that looks like the mexican justin beiber.

7. Colgate - Almost always peak well. Home course should help. Only so much you can do with a bunch of ten flat HS two-milers.

8. Holy Cross - I am the only that thinks it's fvcked up their mascot is the crusader? Might as well be the Holy Cross Conquistadors or the Jihadists.

9. Lafayette - Have they given up entirely on cross country?

10. Loyola - Can't really blame them. Better question, why are they in our league?

Predictions for Wall Street:

1. Bucknell - "Yo bro, you going to Phebe's or Bbar tonight? I swimming in cash from my Bank of America internship."

2. Colgate - "Nah, I'm gonna go hang out with some Vandy bros at Penny Farthing since it's like a super quick cab from Kip's Bay. Let's hit up Grey Lady later though."

3. Lehigh - "We have frats, too. I swear. My dad was Fiji, so it was pretty easy to get the hook up at Wells Fargo."

4. Lafayette - "Yo, lots of bros down here in Philly, too. I promise. Hit me up if you're around, it'll be chill. I promise."

5. Holy Cross - "Nah, its chill. We like love to rail lines and crush brews at night, but then you just repent in the morning. No problem."

6. American - Somewhat fratty based on its name alone.

7. BU - Shitty Boston hipsters? Maybe?

8. Navy - Too much moral responsibility, or something.

9. Army - Marginally less morals, but still more than everyone else.

10. Loyola - I'm not convinced anyone actually goes to this school.

Anything an happen at Colgate though. Its the team with the biggest balls

Whats up with shroeder lately

This weekends results were actually surprising. Looks like there are three tiers of teams in the Patriot league.

1. Navy is by far the best team in the league, nothing will change that and no one can touch their 1-10, let alone their 1-5

2-6 These spots are anyone's game as all 5 teams are fairly close.

2. Lehigh- I believe Lehigh is the best of the crop and will peak accordingly, strong showing at Paul short this weekend.

3. 4. Army/American, both strong tough teams that peak around the same time, ran nearly identical at Paul short. I give the edge to Army on Colgate's course

5.Boston U- You never know with Boston but they put up some solid 8k results this week. However, expect them to do something stupid like train through the meet.

6. Bucknell had a strong pack all finish together this week, but its Bucknell- we all know they'll crash and burn

7.Colgate- They suck but not as bad as you may think, plus its their home course.

8. Holy cross- actually an improving team

9. Lafayette- do they still have a team?

10.Loyola. enough said.

Which pl teams are running at Princeton

All of the ones in the mid-atlantic region will be running the regional meet at Princeton!!!!!

with plcs just over a week away, here are my predictions:

1) holy cross- #blessed

2) colgate- chris johnson wins it all wearing 4 different colgate runners' numbers. their next guy grabs 58th place to clinch the silver.

3) USMA- getting swept at the star meet lit a fire under them. literally coach set girardot's butt on fire it was really funny and motivating lol.

4) USNA- the boyz get too excited at a chik fil a stop on the way up to colgate, have a spicy chicken sandwich eating contest, schroeder downs 8 and then starts crying and locks himself in the bathroom. stalnaker and peckham talk to him gently to coax him out of the restroom, while several obese people wait impatiently in line and start throwing frosted lemonades at the door. they manage to get him out, but cantello has already rolled out with the rest of the squad, so navy only races 9.

5) bahstan- all team members adopt the kevin thomas neck tattoos and their necks all hurt during the race and they run mediocre

6) le-high- everything is going well on the bus ride up. the team is ready to challenge for the win. pat reilly is playing some pokemon ruby. all of the sudden his combusken reaches level 36 and evolves in to a blaze-iken. cue the entire team getting high in celebration

7) bucknell- their team has seemed really healthy this year, which is a horrible sign, as we all know bucknell runners only peak at plcs if they were injured in the early season #donnersarmy

8) american- centro is chill

9) loyola- surprise!!!

10) lafayette- where is will volkman when u need him

Show some respect for the rankings, this is how it will be:

1. Navy - deepest team

2. BU - lacking depth

3. army - get out slow

4. lehigh - never pick a team four years late

5. bucknell - hungover

6. american - undeserving of scholarships

7. holy cross - way worse than american

8. colgate - need home course just for 8th

9. lafayette - improved training program may put them higher

10. loyola - getting closer

Leave the jav spikes at home kids, tomorrow's rain will pass right over.

Looks like it will be a good battle for second place

Patriot League opening. We'll tabulate results by Friday.

You certainly got the winners right.

The Navy men are pretty damn good. They went 1-2-3-4 in the meet!!!

Doesn't AU give scholarships? If so why are they so bad?

Rojo, why isn't the WCC thread on the homepage?
