This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Brilliant race for Olivia by ClingII
Just saw the replay on ESPNU. After leading for the first 5 minutes, Olivia started falling back as others tried to stretch it out. However, nobody was beating Tuohy today. She is on another level. The Oklahoma State runner tried going with Tuohy with about 4 laps to go. Olivia stayed smart, sitting back while the pack tried to chase. With 1 1/2 laps to go, she was in 8th, at least 50 meters back from the OSU runner, as Tuohy was saying bye-bye. Olivia then blew by 3-4 others on the backstretch, and eventually reeled in the OSU runner in the last 20 yards. Just outstanding, such a smart run.
