Default Best All-Time RBR Posts/Threads?

Any nominations?

Or maybe there's a FAQ on them already?

I suggest a few classics from when George Mount chimed in. Here are 3
of his best:

If I might, I'd like to take a minor potshot at George. Smilin' George was a
really good racer. I think that with today's training methods, bikes and
decent team support he would be about like Chris Horner and to me that's
saying something.

But George was NOT a good junior coach. He had an attitude that I really
didn't like. He took the senior boys out and beat them to death instead of
training with them. Now perhaps that was the way George trained in his days
and so that was his take on training. But only the 18 year olds could stay
with him and the rest would come back hang-dog and so tired that they got
nothing out of the exercise. They most certainly didn't learn to train
themselves.

George was brought in by Clark Natwick who was pretty much the opposite.
Clark could inspire people and it's a shame that he sort of dropped out to
do other things.

Maybe someday junior racing will start taking on some importance to the USCF
and then maybe we'll get some serious US Junior racing.

I've never heard anyone associate Mount with Indiana before.

I am so freaking... Rick Mount of the Indiana Pacers.
Damn I am dumb sometimes.

P.S. George Mount the goat farmer does live in Greensburg, Ind.
