Let's go Buffalo!!! Tyler Scheving wins the 800m at the Bryan Clay Invite at 1:48.70 – at Monrovia, CA

TWO absolutely game changing commitments for the Manhattan Jaspers men’s distance squad this week!!! ☘️☘️ Already excited for 2027. This program is making moves!

Ben Rice is pretty good at baseball. Go #yankees

This morning, I burnt the shit out of my thumb while taking my kids’ Pop Tarts out of the toaster (molten lava in those things). Then, I had to clean up two dead birds that my cat presented to me while I was riding my bike in the garage. Ugh.

How many other D1 Head Coaches are still grinding out phone calls to 9:36 3200m guys? How am I still getting “big-timed” by kids who aren’t finishing in the top 50 of their state? I can either build my program with 9:45 guys from NJ or sub 9:00 guys from Europe.

25 years ago, I read that The Smiths were a huge influence on basically all of my favorite bands. I spent the last few decades trying to get into their stuff, but I couldn’t get past how depressing Morrissey’s voice and lyrics were. Well, today I decided it’s not so bad.

XC times are irrelevant. I hate colleges that promote “school records” for XC (just go to a short course and everyone will be happy!) NO ONE is giving you a scholarship for running a time in XC. Stop talking about your XC PR! Who’s measuring the course? Strava? I’m so sick of it.

Apparently I now live in Cos Cob, Connecticut. That feels kinda weird. Buffalo will always be home.

I just overheard a guy bragging about racing a half marathon in 1:20… We used to call that “Wednesday”.

If I’m at a house party and AC Slater rolls up… that makes me cool, right?
