So Alyssa, if you're racing tomorrow GOOD LUCK. The temperature dropping 60 degrees or so really messes things up for you. I did. I was freezing. Each split got slower in that cold. I'm curious. Where did you race? And at what distance? Just a little club run. A "running society" for Amer...

Also, I have more to add for bladerunner and others. misterathleticsfan, a youtube channel, has just added some more women's races back. I know that there are the 1500m and 3000m finals from the '84 Olympics. I love Maricica Puica and she gets 1st and 3rd. The 3000 is where Zola just slows down for ...

No sh*t, Mr T.

I here a lot of young men will stay where they find the pretty young women.

In Texas, SMU stands for Super Model University.

Get more PIE.
To catch a kicker's EYE.

OK. There were too many too smart people that had to think too long and too hard for the Legends and Leaders divisions. Those geniuses were very impressed with themselves! Just let the masterminds suffer with Legends and Leaders.

Or go with simplicity like Division 1 and Division 2.

I knew UTEP would lose. I've found the bowl games today to be boring. Liked Eastern Washington and Delaware winning their games. They will play not too far away from me for the FCS championship by earning their way through a MANLY playoff system!! Bo Levi Mitchell (BLM to us down here) was coached b...

Well since the NCAA is the BCS's bitch, I'm sure they don't do s##t without talking to them. Oh I hate the BS BCS! I even hate it for the having overtime games. I think SMOO is 2-10 in OT. I'd rather have the 12 ties than 2-10. It has taken away a lot of upsets like Baylor losing in OT to Zero U (O...

I am gonna let my ignorance out...who is zola budd? (obviously a distance runner...) Oh it's too long a story. She was a teenager who set world records. That led to her being used and abused. She was treated very badly by many. So she made it through the BS. She's a great person. She proved people ...

Zola was not recognizable at first. She was so lean in the 84 olympics. I live in fort collins so I have met a lot of very good professional runners. Some of them from Zola's time frame but not her race distance. None of them compete anymore either. Thanks for the stories and the video links. I love...

Well, it's too long a story to tell here. I think she just wanted to get away from South Africa for awhile and get her 3 children another experience. Maybe it had something to do with her husband cheating on her with one of South Africa's beauty queens, Pinkie Pelser. Pinkie was found dead this year...

OK blade, I found another youtube channel monalisa3214. The world cross from 1993 is on there. Zola got 4th but she stopped or slowed at one point in the race (camera barely catches that in the 2nd part of a 3 parter). So that cost her getting probably 2nd place. Van Zyl Naude was her coach at that ...

Marathons are no fun. I much prefer 5k to the 1/2 distance. I'm too flat footed to run barefoot. In fact, I have orthotics and run in a stability shoe. You must have been/or are still quite a good runner. I got to attend the olympic trials in Eugene in 2008. Watched Jeremy Wariner lose the 400 fina...

This time Price takes UTEP to a bowl without Gary Nord's recruits. Good thing there are too many bowls.
I do want UTEP to beat BYU.

I'm an aging distance runner but still love to get out and do it. I ran the Vegas marathon last week and I love to watch old track videos. Zola Budd is one of the few barefoot runners in history. A lot of runners point to her as justification for the natural running craze now going on. Her most famo...

BTW, what happened to your other acct?
