Who else is ready to watch Rupp DOMINATE in Chicago this Sunday?!?!?

That's local NBC coverage and yes you are correct

You seem very agitated. Are you OK? And why are you "LOL" at everything you write?

Zerseney Tadese is very extremely good. One of the greatest runners of the world ever. He might not have had so much look in the marathon so far but breaking2 was really good. Running 2:06 after about 60 min first half is as good as a 2:04 even paced. I think he will win because I want him to win and he is the best runner in the field I think. I cant wait to see them run, and hope the weather plays ball for a fastest time.

Yeah I was bruh. Scroll down to "Broadcast Information" on my link

Quite frankly, I am more interested in seeing how Tirunesh, Jordan Hasay and Chris Derrick do. I'll be paying attention to Rupp too, of course but quite frankly I expect him to be right around 2:10-ish

Tirunesh - will she make a run at Paula's WR or CR? Even if she doesn't, how close will she be to her 2:17:5x PB?

Hasay - how long can she stay with the lead pack? Wiil she even attempt to? Will/can she break 2:10

Derrick - this being his first marathon it will establish baseline for expectations. I'd like to see him stick with Rupp for as long as he can, and maybe even beat Rupp to the finish. Chicago is his hometown so I am sure he will want to do well

2:10, Alberto must really have some good stuff in his garage.

I believe this is Galen's third marathon? If so, he still has some level of learning to do.

I think he has chance to place in top three if weather is on warm side. Having no pacers is also an advantage to him. 2:08 won't win it, probably take a sub 2:07 effort for win.

Should be an interesting race with many storylines to follow. Much better than the averages NFL game.

Expect Great Things

Agreed, Zersenay Tadese will attempt to improve his personal best marathon time (2:10:41). He's my "dark horse" favorite for this race. Has the potential but hasn't hit it yet. He could be due for a breakout, and if he has a good day...look out.

The real question is whether or not Rupp will run with his dong hanging out.

This thread has the OP now looking like a genius. Called a Rupp win in 2:09ish, Kirui top contender, Kimetto DNF, a horde of others who were nowhere to be seen late in the race.
