We officially retired the phrase Not Rupp Certified and replaced it with Not Houlihan Certified on the podcast

not jerry certified is better

Any relation to Jarod Ward?

Veto, houlihan is a chump

Nah, Houlihan does a lot of racing. You have to give her credit for even running XC at all, since she's not even a distance specialist. And she does a lot of track racing. 15 races in 2018, most of them at a very high level in her primary event. So it's not really comparable to Rupp.

John Gault is making letsrun great again

Not Shelby Certified rolls of the tongue better. Houlihan is too many syllables.

I prefer "Jerry dodgers"

Not Jerry Certified

Not to mention that quoting yourself as quote of the day is like giving yourself a nickname.

no way, this is great, a return to the campy original letsrun attitude,

rojo is making letsrun great again.

while the boards are a diatribe-joker fest, there's about 10 percent actually relevant track info that well resembles fact.

those quality fact posters, rojo, please identify them and give them their own board to discuss, and anyone from this board that repeatedly makes good sense, let them join the vip club.....

or have one board, and assign stars to registered posters that make sense, like zero stars to say 4 stars.

and we can filter out comments from zero star guys, something like that.

kapish?

Phenomenal idea.

This is why the top athletes won’t talk to this site.

Jerry is the most successful coach in the US that also has a personality and you’ve messed up another relationship.

Shelby has reached the level that she has because of how Jerry has structured her racing and training schedule. The fact that you don’t understand is because you don’t have a grasp of the sport as well as any of the top coaches.

Agree. I think Jerry has the long term plan mapped out and knows what he’s doing here. Maybe she needs to be ready for the first Diamond League 1500 or something. You guys sound like you have aspergers half the time and most of the pros dislike you

Shelby done a 30 minute interview on the letsrun podcast 3 weeks ago...

But LRC Nation usually gets veto power on what we do. What do you think?

What I think is that I can't accept "Not Houlihan Certified" over "Not Rupp Certified" until I know the change from "Not Rupp Certified" to "Not Houlihan Certified" is "Rupp Certified" by Rupp himself, because to change from "Not Rupp Certified" to "Not Houlihan Certified" without it being "Rupp Certified" by Rupp himself would be disrespectful to Rupp, especially after using "Not Rupp Certified" all these years, also, "Not Houlihan Certified" lacking "Rupp Certified" endorsement would render "Not Houlihan Certified" unauthoritative and of no consequence whatsoever.

I can't be any clearer than that.

I visit Letsrun on the daily. We need more letsrun merch in general! Shirts, singlets, or hats. The only letsrun item I have is the not rupp certified shirt.

I vote to keep "Rupp Certified" and add "Shelbo Approved." Or "Shelbo Certified."

AND not OR

An update for those who don't listen to the podcast. On this weeks' podcast we said we were going to retire the Rupp certified term and maybe even print up Not Houlihan Certified shirts for LRCers who go to World Cross.

But LRC Nation usually gets veto power on what we do. What do you think?

We put the podcast on youtube as well so we could embed here. It's set to start at the Rupp certified part below:

YOU CAN NEVER TRULY RETIRE THIS GREAT PHRASE!
