The Great Wall Marathon in China, which celebrated its 22nd anniversary on Saturday (May 17), saw 1,219 runners take part in one of the most challenging races of the year. The Great Wall Marathon includes about 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall itself. The course also includes sections on the Great Wall Huangyaguan section, with 5,164 steps and 4 kilometers of uphill climb. The full marathon (26.2 miles) includes two sections on the Great Wall, while the half marathon (13.1 miles) and 8.5k fun run include one section

Just sayin':

1. Who know that there is actually a "marathon" that included 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall?
2. Hell, I couldn't run a mile in under 6 minutes in high school. I'm not sure about traveling to China these days; however, that does look like a cool event.

Have you been to all of the NY6 bowl games?

Fiesta (Glendale), Rose for the Buckeyes

Peach (old stadium in ATL) when it was a second tier kind of Bowl but not for Buckeyes.

The only Bowl I’d likely travel to again is Rose. The rest are all just meh. Glendale in particular can go fuck itself back to the hell it is a portal to. It’s fucking cursed.
Glendale is the Ross-Ade of the west. They both have GOT TO BE mass burial grounds of some sort.

Who would have won in 1997: MeCheatAgain vs Nebraska?

I don’t know where you got this idea, but Brian Bosworth was suspended for the 1987 Orange Bowl due to a positive steroid test

Just sayin': Good catch, my mistake......

I do appreciate people pointing out my errors. 1) maybe I won't make the same mistake again, and 2) shows I'm not wasting my time posting as someone is actually reading my posts.... :biggrin:


The NCAA passed legislation banning the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances in 1973, according to NCAA director of sports sciences Frank Uryasz. Uryasz said the ban included steroids, though it didn't single them out specifically.
  • Initial Ban: The NCAA passed legislation in 1973 that banned the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances, which included anabolic steroids.
  • No Enforcement: However, this initial ban was largely unenforceable as there was no drug testing program in place until 1986.
  • Drug Testing Program: The NCAA started its drug-testing program in 1986, making the steroid ban more concrete as athletes could now be tested and penalized for violations.

DL Kenny Peterson (All B1G, National Champion)

Not a smart move, especially considering that Peterson's former teammate, Will Smith, was shot to death in a road rage incident. Small guns can easily take down large men ... and you never know who's carrying.
This. CCW's are everywhere. Hell Kenny could have been packing. The balls to spit at a large black male.

TLDR; we suck as a species.

After making the biggest leap in NBA draft lottery history to land the No. 1 overall pick, the Dallas Mavericks plan to select Duke forward Cooper Flagg and will not entertain the possibility of trading away the pick for a proven superstar, sources told ESPN.

The Mavs had only a 1.8% chance of winning the lottery after being eliminated in the Western Conference's final play-in game to end a tumultuous, injury-ravaged season.

After eight seasons on staff at Indiana, Brian Walsh is joining the Buckeyes as an assistant coach.

“I’m excited for Brian and his family to join our Ohio State Hoops family,” head coach Jake Diebler said. “Brian is a proven recruiter with deep Midwest ties who has excelled at connecting with and developing players. His Big Ten scouting experience and analytics expertise are going to be a valuable asset to our program.”

Walsh served as an assistant coach, a recruiting coordinator and director of operations during his time with the Hoosiers, playing a role in 149 wins and two NCAA tournament appearances.

His hiring at Ohio State marks a return to the Buckeye state after spending time at Dayton and Akron, including one season as the Flyers’ assistant director of operations.

Walsh played collegiately at Xavier and Akron, helping the Musketeers earn back-to-back Atlantic 10 regular season championships and a pair of Sweet Sixteen appearances in 2009 and 2010. He also played a role in a pair of Zips’ MAC regular season titles and a tournament tile in 2013.
