Twitter shade surrounding men's 3000m race

What shades got to do with twitter ?

Am I missing something here ?

It all really depends on who manages their twitter accounts. OTC guys ran with the BTC guys the next morning, so I don't think there was too much love lost there.

didn't think i'd see the "throw shade" term on letsrun

new york latino drag queen slang from the early 90s is now mainstream vernacular. huh.

NOP's tweet... funny

BTC's tweet... funny

Lauren Fleshman/Phoebe Wright... grow up

If NOP tweets first then BTC responds, then it sounds like NOP are sore losers and BTC got a last laugh.

This.

BTC let their legs do the talking, but NOP made a butthurt post. The BTC response was perfect.

Why did those two even get involved?

Lauren is finished as an athlete , but still likes to be an insider. Father time is undefeated , and Lauren has nothing in common with the current group of elite runners. But I do agree, Lauren was very talented 10 years ago when she set most of her PR's.

Hmmm. This description sounds a lot like a letsrun regular...

Fleshman's career has been over for 5 years. She knows it and has resorted to total BS. She will not be able to even meet the OT standard but will have 15 excuses and injuries to explain her demise.

Phoebe just missed her best chance and has ZERO chance of making the Olympic Team. She will be done in the sport in 4 months.

Same with Slick Nick.

So all of you immature adolescents posting anonymously on a message board are saying Lauren F shouldn't post her thoughts on Twitter because she can't win national titles any more?

I think you got that wrong. The "legs do the talking" thing only applies if that's what, and ONLY what does the talking. If the mouth (or keyboard) follow, even if prompted, then they are talking, not the legs.

She feels necessary to comment on everything. Much of which she is clueless. She and Nick and Phoebe all had opinions on the Marathon Trials Why? How many Marathon Trials have they participated in? If they see an issue they feel they must get involved.

No , She should not post skanky comments about professional athletic teams on their social media feed , which she is not a part of. You would not see NOP or BTC athletes posting opinions on Picky bars, on her twitter feed . They are mature adults and would not do this to her.

When Lauren, Phoebe or any of the men from BTC win anything let me know. Then they might have the right to smack talk the Oregon Project.

You are an idiot. BTC DID win the race, genius.

Right on, that title is right up there with NOPs OG and WC medals!!

Rupp has never won a major race. Neither did Ritz. Neither did Centro. Being past their prime, none will.

BTC is the best distance group in the country, according to results of, um, the distance race at the country's nationals. Facts don't lie.

Too bad NOP made a butthurt post they didn't have the guts to leave up.

Facts

World or Olympic medals:

NOP- 3 not counting Mo

BTC-0

American records:

NOP- 3

BTC- 1

Major wins:

NOP- 1

BTC-0

Fastest times on the men's side all belong to NOP except for steeple chase.

2011 wasn't 10 years ago. I think it refreshing that former top athletes (Lauren & Malmo) still take an active interest in T&F......and let us know of that keen interest.

This would look even more lopsided if you included Mo and indoor records. Or if you included top 5 US all time lists.

If we're talking NOP // Bowerman rivalry...

what's really missing to make that chart meaningful is Solinsky's 26:59

or Cragg and Shalane totally stealing the show from Rupp at the marathon trials

or Bowerman embarrassing Rupp and Jenkins in their home city in the premier event of the meet

Or, if you really wanted to win the convo, you could just say: Magness and Epstein

I don't get how you can be upset a runner beat your runner, you runner clearly wasn't the faster guy, get over it, train him better.
