That was a completely idiotic take to begin with on Fauble's part, not only because Hocker has raced plenty of tactical races in his past and done well, but also because the event he runs is almost always just a time trial for guys like him. Not sure what he has against Hocker to say that.
What an embarrassment. Hocker did not say or do anything, why kick him while he's down.
Yeah- I don’t get Fauble- it’s not like he’s never had a bad outcome in a high pressure race ( OT Marathon) when he was a favorite to make the team. As my mama taught me, “ If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all”
just makes him look like a jerk, regardless of what you think of Hocker
Yeah that makes way more sense. He just ran stride for stride with Timothy Cheruiyot and Abel Kipsang at Pre and 3 weeks later hes getting his doors blown off by Eric Holt, obviously something was wrong. And Scott Fauble is a total tool, Hocker is a 3x US champ at age 20 coming off a 6th place in the Olympics and now he doesnt know how to race??
Hope he can get healthy and put up some good performances in the Diamond League later this summer.
No wonder he's never been an Olympian. Loser mentality.
Yes, so strange from a guy who never made it.
Maybe he would want to continue his thought and explain why he never qualified for the WC or Olympics. What is it that he did wrong for never being able to hit top 3? Maybe we could all learn from that.
Fauber is a second rate domestic talent that ran at a second rate collegiate program and failed to make a splash as a second rate pro on a second rate pro team. Now he is the token boy on a team of accomplished women that put his palmares to shame. The guy’s strong opinion is about as important as that of your local Turkey Trot masters champion.
