Flashes of Panic

Colorado runner (and former fellow Bell Lap columnist) Erik Heinonen apparently had his nose broken by an Oklahoma State runner during the Big 12 championships yesterday. The details of the dustup aren’t important; Colorado still won the meet. What’s interesting to me is the protests. Colorado lodged a protest, of course, but so did… Texas.

Because with the other guy disqualified and removed from scoring, Texas moved from a tie for second (with Kansas) to second outright.

What with concussed marathoners and broken noses, you’d think running was hockey.
