Look, whether I like it or not, I have to refer to Bush as "our"
president, no matter how distasteful it may be. (And quite frankly, I
felt the same way when Clinton was president.) Yep, "Globenose" is
"ours," Garry. Deal with it.

Maybe that's appropriate as another sport in which the US is slowly losing
it's spot as a prominent player in world competition.
Let's hope that the 2003 Worlds are more succesful for the US T&F team than
the WBC were for the USA Basketball team.

I think they should name it "Wind-aided" or "Personal Worst" or maybe just

I voted for DQ. According to the press release, the goal is to attract
youth, so let's grab them with a name associated with something most kids
love (ice cream) as well as significance to T&F. Second choice is B Sample.
"...wild and zany on and off the track..." Sounds more like the old, fun
