Paul, I'm sure you'd no idea you were creating a monster by asking a polite, simple question about running in Detroit that a few others are turning into a "I'm better than you" tug-of-war. It's a silly debate the others are into so hope you have a sense of humor. Really, Lake St Clair is an inviting place to run.
Like...my state's colleges rule! And, like...our football team is da bomb! Yo, my state's governor can kick your governor's biotch ass! Scoreboard for my state! You live in a punk state where you can marry your sister! (hehe...incest is funny)
Buckerines RULE!!! Wolvereyes SUCK!!!
Later. Peace Out.
Michigan played Utah and Western Michigan this year. Do those schools have football teams?
Your Boilermakers also played Western Michigan and LOST to Wake Forest of all teams. Since when did Wake Forest become such a powerhouse football team?
The only other undefeated team Miami Hurricanes have played such powerhouses as Florida A&M, Temple, Connecticut, and Rutgers (to whom they were losing in the 4th quarter).
As far as barely beating your Purdue Boilermakers (and the Buckeyes did WIN that game, and you LOST), there are only a few things to be said. 1) Buckeyes beat you in in your own stadium; 2) The Buckeye defense (the team's strength) held you to two field goals; 3) Maurice Clarett, perhaps the best back in the nation when healthy, was limited to 52 yards because he wasn't in the game long. Shoulder injury has kept him down the last three weeks; 4) Your players and coaches all thought that on 4th and 1 with the game on the line that there would be a run play. Tressel called a pass play, and your defense could not compete when one on one with Buckeye receivers, and Michael Jenkins made what may turn out to be the best play in OSU history; 5) Scoreboard!
Playing for the national championship will be OSU vs. perhaps Washington State (whom the Buckeyes have already pounded this year) because Miami will lose to either Pittsburg or Virginia Tech. Buckeyes will win due to superior defense and special teams and solid offense.
Put down the school newspaper and go log some miles.
Better yet, go debate the other Funyuns and Cheetos chomping, fat ass gridiron wannabes at Jerkinoffaboutfootball.com
Man I freakin' LOVE Funyuns! By the way though, I never read The Lantern. Journalism isn't OSU's strong point. This is not a debate though. A debate has to by definition have good points made on both sides. The only solid ones have come from me. Educated in the Buckeye State.
Besides Portland Runner, your own hometown Dayton Flyers had a good basketball team a few years ago. Ah, didn't think I knew that didja? I see what others do not.
dudes, perhaps you'd like to start a new thread entitled: my dad can beat up your dad. this thread is entitled: detroit running. HELLO!
Is this Lonnie or Dewey?
Try 8 mile road and represent the 313
Lonnie at the BMV!
Damn boy! How you been? That NASCAR title race sure is shapin' up to be excitin'.
Hell, let's get liquored up down at Tim's and beat on some of them UD brats.
I've moved on up to Oakwood, still love Pantera though and once in a while the boys an' me head on up north on 75 to steal a few "Hobart" signs from the town of Troy.
Of course I gave you some clues here, but I'm glad you are a knower of who I really am.
Drop me a line. Keep messing with the old money types in O'Wood and have a half rack of Hudepohl for me. I think Arrow Wine probably has that on special.
