Campus area is exactly right. You really should not just go out for a run around the campus. What a shame such a beautiful University is in a ghetto.
It shols be in Rochester or Binghamton- both of those sities are much cleaner, safer and have great places to run.
The campus is pretty easy to sum up: Ghetto to the West, Nice areas to the East. Just stay away from the cemetary.
I hope Coach Fox has spoken with Boronzinski and Hicks as I know both have been sought after by other programs.
the coach that is going to take over for fox at AU is the GA, i think he is 28 with 0 coach experiance. this could be a big opportunity for the guy...hes considered the interm coach for now...SU is getting a coach who knows what he is talking about when its comes to the distance side...
Who is the intrem coach for auburn?
Wow that sucks about the 3-4-5 guys. What kind of times are they running on the track?
Why nothing on the Syracuse webstie?
Is the interim coach Matt Goodwin, or a different GA?

I don't think that they update the website on the weekends during the summer. Wait for something tomorrow.
not sure his name, but its not matt goodwin
It will be Pete Watson.....former GA.
Goodwin a coach??...he's probably too busy making sure his hair looks just right.
Where did watson caoch before, or is he just starting out? Didn't he run at WVU?
bump
just starting out...used to run for WVU.
I do believe one of the new assistants will be the biggest of B's...
Watson knows what he's doing. It could be the big break to get him on his way. It could work out real well for Auburn to get him too- before anyone else knows who he is. From what I recall last year- this AU team should be pretty decent.
auburn will be good no matter who coaches them, as long as the guy isnt a retarded fat man that doesnt know a thing about running...
Watson coached at WVU and learned a great deal while in Morgatown. He was Coach Cleary's asst. for a few years before moving on to Dieter Hogan. He is well prepared for this step.
whatever, the fact that a guy who was a GA, is or might be getting the xc job at an SEC school, with zero experience is bullshit. You dont see that happening in Bball, Football, or other sports. It says alot about what auburns track coaches think or care about the xc / distance crew.
he might have been coached by cleary, and then hung around there for awhile, but that in no way means he can run a program, let alone at an SEC school. in the real world you work your way up the ladder, in college track head coaches hire people who arent a threat, GA's for 18k, who wont rock he boat

Some runners are more than runners. They study the sport. They ask questions, they become a huge part of the program in a way that most runners cannot imagine. Pete Watson will communicate with Coach Fox this season to make the transition smooth. He will do a fine job at Auburn. D1 Running is about recruiting at 99% of the schools. There are very few great coaches. Pete will become a great coach one day and Auburn will continue to grow. Before Vig, Gerard, Jerry S and many others became big timers they were 1st year coaches that everybody laughed at. They didnt dererve the chance to get things rolling and look at them now. Watson has had excellent teachers in his life and will go as far as he chooses with this sport.
