The Grote Poll NCAA Championship Preview

The return of The Grote Poll in 2009, saw my return to Terre Haute for the meet.  There will not be a repeat road trip this year, but there will be a few other repeats...so says me.  Its possible that I still may not have recovered from the NJ MoC-NCAA road trip weekend.  With the meet scheduled to be in Portland next year, the lure of King Burrito should prove too strong to keep me away.  A chance to see my alma mater shine at home, at the meet hosted by Oregon?  That is a must see.  I would expect a personal invitation from the venerable Poo-bah Lanana.  I should have one already...maybe he lost my address...

Does this Oregon team have it in them, or can Vin pull it out of...them...to contend for the win on Monday?  Is that really the main question everybody should be asking?  Where are Chipangama and Ashkettle?  Are there any kickers out there to replace Nick Folk?  Why have regionals become a walk through for many?  Can perhaps something be done to eliminate this extra race that is being taken less seriously?  Push it back a week?  Combine with conference meets?  Select teams from conference champions and pre-nats?
