Can we please refrain from ever EVER comparing running a marathon to childbirth? Especially when the comparison is made by someone without a vagina? Kthx.

I think we are in.  But being blown out again by OSU might give the selection comittee doubts. I dunno anymore.

Mark: You raise some interesting points. I’m impressed by anyone who runs a marathon, no matter their finishing time.  It’s the commitment people show to accomplishing a goal they set for themselves that impresses me most. A sign I saw at the Illinois Marathon last year along…

The marathon is certainly a tough distance, but I imagine that it compares to childbirth. In any event, having completed the former, I will agree that it is an excruciating tastk. Should the opportunity arise, I will let you know how the latter compares.

Surprised you think it will take two wins. I think we have a shot to get in with another loss.  The bubble is just a disaster this year, and we’ll float to the top even with one win.
