There’s always the Tybee Island Marathon. Its in two weeks and its as flat as my ex’s chest.

#37 (Will)… Bill Hicks was indeed a legend, and I was a big fan.

Nevertheless, he’s not the guy to be quoting for snarking on someone’s early death, no? (I think Bill would agree… if he could.)

Still horrified by the telecast featuring Ms. Anderson-Scheiss(!! nice!!). And your failure, Orson, to participate in such an event indicates the presence of grey matter still remaining in your cranium…for what its worth. A famous marathoner I met by accident once told me that the best thing to do was train for a marathon and just don’t run it…you reap the physical fitness rewards without the ultimate damage from the event.

As far as Drayton being pushed to tears, well, isn’t Urban known for shedding a few tears in emotional situations? C’mon…maybe its a team thing.

@25 May I allow the great Bill Hicks to say it?
“Keith Richards outlived Jim Fixx, the runner and health nut. The plot thickens. You remember Jim Fixx? This human cipher used to write books on jogging. Now, what do you fuckin’ write about jogging? ‘Right foot, left foot, faster, faster, oh hell, I dunno, go home, shower.’ Pretty much covers the jogging experience, I do believe. Then this doofus goes out and has a heart attack and dies…. while jogging. There is a God. ‘Right foot, left foot, hemorrhage.”

Geaux –

No mainstream press of it yet, but it’s been confirmed by the Rivals and Scout guys. Plus by a ton of students. I would expect it to break nationally before too long.

Orson,

Allow me to also endorse the sage running advice of kleph and others on this thread.

Ran the Chicago Marathon in ‘06, and ran “through” an ankle injury on the back half of the race. Finished, but my ankle hasn’t been the same since, and approaching 18 months post-race, I’m getting fairly certain that surgery will be in the offing somewhere down the road to get it right.

Twenty-six point two ain’t nothin’ to f*** with, as Wu Tang might say…

You made a wise decision. Get healthy and then try again some other time.

Actually, Odell was suspended. He just kept beating the shit out of anyone who told him and there was no one left to prevent him from playing.

The question now is – Will Petrino still be coaching Arkansas when Mallett becomes eligible to play?

Re: #11 & #26:

Jerkwheat & Ryan: do either of you have links to share with the class about Mallett?

Ah, Thurman. He managed eligibility for one full season and an unimpressive half of a second. Okay, yeah, they gave him a lot more rope than most guys that have come through the program lately. I don’t really get it, since Richt hasn’t shown an inclination to protect guys just because they can play.

Yeah, but as I remember, you let Odell Thurman play in that game, and as I recall, his evening out in Athens was particularly entertaining.

That was a horrible day.

Selling SEC rings, bad form. Assaulting a police officer, well boys will be boys…

in any case, i've urged orson to get healed up and start training again. what he needs is a goal and i'm suggesting the rio marathon on june 29. twenty-six-point-two miles through glorious rio de janero, brazil including ipanema beach, copacabana beach, and sugar loaf. the most bundatastic race in the world. i'm planning on being there, any and all are welcome to join me.
