Rupp is an overwhelming dissappointment?? haha u guys are insane.
No matter what advantages and luxuries Rupp has, you can give those same things and even more to the rest of the NCAA, and Rupp would still be on top. Rupp knew wat it takes to be one of the best runners in the nation, so he went out and got them.
The level of homophobia on this board is astounding.
Matt Withrow will win.
Matt Withrow will win.
Did you know that Matt Withrow will win?
Listen I know it hurts I feel the pain to. We like to think that the kick ass guys who run faster then us are tough all american boys/men in the Prefontaine tradition. We want one of these guys to take down the big tough africans. But Bauhs is dealing with the d2 kenyans so you are left with Rupp and German to go after Chelanga.
Now I know it hurts but rupp has run 27:33, rupp was at his best when it mattered most, the trials and the games. Yes before you get up in arms, I have scene that horrible photo, I have suffered through the interviews. I don't know if he is gay. I don't care because he is, well, quite girly and that is what hurts this soft girly guy is kicking our ass. I mean we are out there getting our 100 mile weeks in and being real tough but damn it the kid is really really good. So we bitch about his coach, we bitch about the stuff he gets from Nike, we bitch that he shouldn't be eligible. But here is the real deal, no american his age has ever run faster, does he have some advantages, sure maybe but I don't care fast is fast and rupp is faster. Faster then you, faster then me and if we are lucky, and this is my good old true blue USA side talking, he will be faster then Chelanga.
Has Rupp ever won a National Championship race in either high school or college? Sammy trained with Paul Tergat, Robert Cheryoit and his brother in Kenya, along with being the only guy who could put the hurt on Josh McDougal in workouts. He won't be awed by Galen and he will make him hurt from the word go.
The real question is, will either of them have the balls to take off the shoes and run like a man?
It will likely be freezing or snowing at nats. that is one reason he may not win
Marc Olesen - 1985 NCAA PAC 10 Champion would kick both Chelang's and Rupp's butts ! 29:51 10K !
David Kinsella of Portland will win in an upset...

If Rupp were competing in Bauhs\' division, I think it\'s fair to imagine that Rupp might have some championships of his own.
If you want to compare Rupp\'s inability to win NCAA titles to, say, Solinsky\'s ability to win them, you\'d have a valid point. This doesn\'t mean that I necessarily believe that Solinsky is better, but he has, in fact, shown the ability to win as a high schooler and as a collegian. Of course, some might argue that making the Olympic Team IS an example of \"stepping up\" - and Rupp, at the ripe age of 22, did just that.
NCAA titles are a dime a dozen compared to going to World\'s and the Olympics.
