WOW. Small world.

I knew his sister from my time in Westwood. Great people.

Great article. Thanks for the share Desert Brewin. You got me all kinds of nostalgic.

Fantastic story

What an incredible story, and just look at what Meb’s brothers and sisters have accomplished. Amazing people.

And, finally, a reporter who gets it right. It’s amazing how things look when you do a little research.

Thanks, DB, for linking this.

My favorite about Meb so far:

His coach, Bob Larson, recalls chastising Meb for yawning before a race at the Pac-10 Championships because he had been up all night writing papers. Meb won the race anyway.

Wow

After reading this article, it makes reading that other article even more infuriating. If this to you isn’t the ultimate coming to America story, you must be some kind of extremist xenophobe.

Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.
