Haha, yeah, cross country meets are the epicenter of sporting fandom - so many hecklers. My great regret at the U of I was not seeing the greatest athlete of my time at the U of I. Yet, I played with Kendall Gill, watched Jeff George, Nick Anderson, 2x Olympian Dominick Minicucci, and Kenny Battle. But, the guy who later became the second best player in the world, I never went to see him compete.
As for me, totally comfortable with my sporting prowess which was fantastic. However, I learned early on that there was always someone better. Hence, I turned down D3 sporting offers in favor of an education.
You on the other hand, after an "elite" XC high school career, could not pass up the Division 3 offers to continue competing. Fair enough. But, one has to wonder why such a phenomenal specimen couldn't even garner a Division 2 offer let alone D1.
I've always wondered who the Al Bundy of this board was and now I have my answer, the Ickster! (I was all-state cross-country at Taft High School). Congrats Icky!
That’s a lot of self-aggrandizing from our chronically insecure hiking legend. Mocking accomplishments you never reached is pretty sad.
You’ve invented so much about me you can’t keep your own story straight. I’ve never talked about what level I ran at or what offers I had. I don’t need your validation.
I have no issue with the meeting.
The LOL is over seeing the most recent MAGA boogeyman getting praised by Trump. I thoroughly enjoy watching MAGA walking back the takes on Mamdani now.
Gateway Hispanic.. LOL

It really is a fight between good and evil.
Yeah yeah icky, laugh away….
I haven't seen many walking back their concerns about Mamdani. Trump has dealt with some of the most notorious villians in the world. He doesn't villianize them, he knows they are part of the world that we have to deal with.
Mamdani seems to be able to get people to like him, despite some of his beliefs. Pretty similar to Trump, in that regard.
Despite Mar-a-Lago being a primary living space for Trump, he is a New Yorker through and through. He has significant personal and business interest in the city. The difference between the two is Trump has actually held a real job, had/has employees, made money and had been a decision maker for many decades. Mamdani has never held a real job, AFAIK.
