I am a tad surprised by the dearth of comments about the impending politics
in the USA men's 4x100 relay.

The reasons you gave for resistance are the silly preconceived notions that
have lead to these ridiculous battles about relays. It is a big deal to
talk of SMTC in track circles, and the tremendous exploits of its members
over the years. But the mention of HSI seems to bring the worst out of
many. Please explain to me? I remember the reaming of Darrell when he used
to post here, and I often wondered what was the reason for the venom. I now
wonder what is the reason for the resistance to what many have begged for on
this very list, a team that has practiced together and knows each other. I
also, recall a campaign for team competition at the trials. Well here is
the fastest "team" to ever be assembled outside of the national team, and
you have reservations because they MIGHT tell you about THEIR
accomplishment.
I say good for them. If "they" can bring home the gold for the good ol' US
of A, I am all for it. I do not have to worry about squabbles over anchor,
or who wants to run what leg.
BTW, where I live has very little to do with who i am a fan of. Because I
love the dallas Cowboys does that mean I "obviously live in Dallas"? Who am
I? I am William E. Beaman, never been called Bill, I will leave that
moniker to Bubba in Washington.
