As for Cas, he got kicked off the beasts for dating/hooking up with the girls on the team.

Does that make him a hero to all the people on Letsrun not doing this? Letsrun should sponsor him.

I'll coach him. I had a nice talk with him when he was a freshman at Penn State - like meet #2 of his career. He was friends with a guy on the Cornell team and I just remember being thrilled to death he didn't go to Columbia which was his #1 choice.

He'll have to move to Baltimore. A guy at UnderArmour told me they wanted to have a team. Being from New Haven, he'll adjust just fine.

Coaching mid-d is easy.

Look at Monzano, silver at Olympics and no sponsor.

I'm sure he'd be very interested in running for you.

After everything I've seen and heard about he and Coach Mackey's creepy gas thing, I am not shocked at all to see the relationship dissolve.

Hanson's has done this, too. Is there a repressed executive at Brooks who made dating peers a fireable offense, or is it just a coincidence. I've never heard of this happening on another pro team.

Other athletes have dated each other on the Beasts before, as well as Cas dating a teammate last year.

This was not the reason to involve Brooks corporate.

From what I gather, it's not just about dating a teammate, which was apparently against the rules, but basically being a whore and partaking in OPP. Intersquad relationships can be problematic under normal circumstances, but when it comes to OPP issue it can be disastrous.

...any coach will tell you that.

Office of Physical Plant?

i think OPP is other people's p*ssy

Malmo,Multiple athletes on this squad have dated. From what I've seen and heard, there is no rule around dating (as I said, I know other athletes that have dated and it was a never an issue). Why would Brooks corporate get involved over adults dating?Loxsom got fired mid season. If was something so serious that Danny, Brooks lawyers, Brooks CEO's etc, all agreed needed to be removed. And Loxsom did not fight it. His agent is a lawyer, so if it was not so overt, there would have been a legal fight.

After all the blasphemy I've read over the past couple days I thought I would get reinvolved in this thread: you can't censor the truth.

First of all: kriskrinkle, does your son know that you think he's a POS. Don't take your intolerance to cas not liking someone fart in his face out on your son, he's your son for goodness sakes. Your intolerance of people's gas orientation is pitiful and your son doesn't deserve to be called out for it. I suggest you undergo family therapy and gas sensitivity training.

Second of all, I spoke to an inside source on the team and found out the real reason he was dismissed. Caz was understandbily bitter that a disagreement arose over him not tolerating the race simulation/oxygen debt inducing fart in the face that the coach developed. He felt that the coach was eating foods that produced much much potent gas prior to breaking wind into his own face compared to that of his teammates. So he decided to enact revenge. One Friday night after most of the team a few drinks and were soundly asleep he chugged a chocolate milk and baked bean mixture. He knew this would replicate the gas he was forced to tolerate that the rest of his team was spared from. Like the grinch, he snuck into each of his sleeping teammates' bedrooms and crept to the top of their beds, dropped trou' and proceeded to release brutal gas into their faces. They of course all awoke in a coughing fit but were eventually able to recover. One of his teammates described his gas as coming from the pits of hell, as if he had literally sold his a$$ to the devil. Word of his deed got back to the Human Resources department and he was subsequently dismissed from the team. Till this day he maintains that this was no different treatment or gas toxicity than what was given to him from the coach. Let's just hope he can get on a new team where he isn't forced into such haneous acts.

You heard it here first.

Until now all these years I had no idea what OPP stood for. Loved that song. Totally clueless.

That would be awesome if Robert coached him. He should take you up on that.

Mammoth parted ways with Amy Hastings and Allistair Cragg for just this. Although Allistair was living with Morgan Uceny at the time.

A legal fight?

Why would an athlete in an individual sport fight to be somewhere he's not wanted? When a T&F athlete gets dropped, they simply move on.

You don't think very well. Danny would consent to continue coaching an athlete who was having an affair with his wife? That would be some cuckhold-level cheek-turning.

malmo, I think the problem was that it was Katie Mackey he was "dating."

I don't know for sure, but I think if can be 'Other People's Penis' depending on your gender -or more politely 'Other People's Property'.

Rojo starting an Under Armour team in Baltimore? A good use for the LR t-shirts.

There are definitely teams and contracts that have rules about dating team members; however, human nature being human nature, the rule is sometimes violated. Whenever you see married athletes, they usually met while being team members. If you assume college athletes are adults, intersquad dating on most teams at the very least is discouraged. Intersquad relationship drama can be performance disenhancing, bad for team dynamics and can result in pregnancies.
