We’ve noticed everyone has taken a liking to talking about the race. So we’re giving you a place to do that, and just that.
Feel free to use this area to discuss anything and everything about the Little 500 — Qualifications, Spring Series, the race itself.
Please, no character attacks. Trash-talking is great, but slandering people isn’t. Let’s keep it clean. Or your post will be deleted.
33to1 
Fun facts:
You ‘win’ Jersey Night by wearing the best Jordan Bailey costume.
The track fence is made from confiscated bolt-on-type skewers from illegal quals wheels.
IUSF was originally created to research the viability of cinder dust as a chemical weapon
IUSF can fine you for not wearing a helmet, but only if they can catch you.
One popular strategy during the race involves positioning oneself near the back of the pack to get the best powerups
Top 5 People that will be missed in the Little 500 this year:
1) Trevor “Erik” Schwedland: I hope your meniscus is healed fully. Also is that hair natural or is that mostly product?
2) Hannah Coppens: Gone but not forgotten???
3) James Welch: I would mustache that ass. Your sponsored extracurriculars (Memorial Beer & Ice mile) will hopefully live on this year.
4) Sydney Keaton: Just like Saturday’s, you were for the boys
5) Joe Krauhulik: Cum back please, but also you have Kristen, you won already.

Hi
Glad to see you all again this year. If you’re feeling even mildly competitive with your summer tans and newfound love of margaritas, come to wednesday worlds.
Hope that worlds inflates your ego enough so when the real racing starts you don’t get hurt too much by the legit riders
When you see “Trevor” riding with the Cutters on a training ride on 465… what a shit show to bring back 5th years to win again. Whatever dudes
nice
Rumor has it, rachel metherd is expecting?
Xoxo, gossip squirrel
Possibly, Knapp has fully recovered from his broken pelvis.
Noble Guyon (Guion?) wins the 2/3’s at Gateway, Eric Schwedland still at IU in Kelley to do a 5th yr, and a 14th trophy on the way. Thats a wrap.
PhiDelt’s team is really just one guy and his three failed clones
Official: Kappa Alpha Theta will not be riding in the little 500 this year, stating that they will be instead training to win 5k charity event runs. One rider specifically stated that, “Little 5 is not vegan friendly, therefore I will take my talents to go run the Tofu Turkey fun-run during thanksgiving”. There you have it folks, no yellow jersey this year in the women’s field but hey, theta said its “For the Kids” so it must be a good cause.
1. Cutters
2. Gray Goat
3. Jetblach/Phi Psi (tie)
5. BKB
6. Bears
7. 3PH
8. SAE
9. Sig Chi
10. Beta Sig
No sig ep in the top 10? BKB 5th? Sig Chi top 10 when eight now they don’t have a team? Quite the predictions there.
Beta Sig over teams like Beta, FIJI, Forest, SigEp, and PhiDelt? I haven’t seen much of them to know if they are the real deal or if you are trolling.
SAE and Sig Chi are only returning one legit rider each. SigEp are returning two top 5 ITTers with race experience in Settle and Harris. SigEp deserves to at least be above SAE and Sig Chi and probably Phi Psi too.

You forgot about Sig Chi’s offshoot team, the “Holtkamp Homewreckers”, I heard they are deceptively good.
When’s the last time the Little 500 Race Director rode a bike?
It would be good to hear she’s attending her beloved and mandatory (for Fall requirements) Wilcox Rides.

How’d those cinders taste, BKB guy?
The real question is why are mother bear’s riders racing with a missing chromosomes?
You mean an extra chromosome…did you even meet Andrea’s minimum GPA recruitment?
75%+ of comments on here are cutters, 3ph, and GG…quit hiding behind your screens and go ride your bike.
Hey Woj, how’s life treating you? How’s mother bears looking this year? How’s Teter? Oh wait..
Its the fall.. chill.
Ben rides bike
No he does not
Okay fine.
Is any body planning to try at fall series this year? Or is it just going to BKB circle jerking at cyclocross again? If nobody else ever tries they need to get rid of quals times incentives
Agreed. Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, but if no one is taking advantage or cares get rid of it, or make it more important.
Who are the top rookies this year?
Andrea Balzano
My daughter is an amazing race director you turd nugget.
Theta and BKB are like an on-again off-again relationship who just got back together. Gross
Hey Alexa, play “Jaded” by Drake.
Coppens and Langley = the spartan brand applesauce compared to Kristen Bignal and Joe K. Good try coppens, you wanted a Ferrari, you got a 2014 Toyota Camry with 35,000 miles on it.
Whatever beef you have with Langley is between you and him, but that was a God awful attempt at an insult. Do you have a gofundme I could donate to for you to learn better jabs?
Also, I thinking being fuel efficient is more important than being a Ferrari in cycling. Basically gave the guy a compliment. Another fail…
This whole post is irrelevant. Bears aren’t a contending team nor does anyone care about them, I am sorry but its true. Caleb will have a good spring but as a team, just no. Its Cutters again or Sigep with the Tommy Setts/Bennie punch, and BKB still a favorite.
I heard the frats are gonna make a super team when theyre all kicked off this year. Jetblach 2.0?
If my frat gets kicked, I’m hitting up rush chair danny k ASAP for a jetblach bid
Bishop will need a hella lot of EPO and testosterone to get his boys to the finish line this year. I mean at least 3x Lance Armstrong worth of EPO.
I would like to announce that I’m stepping down as rush chair
Hey guys. Did you all see the note on new rider rules from Andrea? She said she is going to implement a new system where an IUSF member follows you to each of your courses to make sure you are attending every class. Missed lectures are a 2-second race day penalty and missed exams cost a race team rider’s firstborn child. Also, she mentioned anyone wearing a mismatched cycling kit at the track will be fined $25 for poor taste.
I’m not sure how to feel about these.

There’s only a few takeaways I have from fall series.
– Xavier is still fast
– Bears are a scary team
– 3PH has reloaded and retooled
– Gray Goat has the most depth in the field
– Theta will have a down year without a superstar like Brown to save them
– Ski should be one of the women’s favorites this year. Ivy went on a tear this weekend
– DG has the best depth with a comparable superstar to Ski so I would put them as the co-favorite
– TPA is the most intriguing team in the field. Obviously have a superstar and CB in the pit and we’ve seen what he can do with 1 stud. Rest of the team didn’t really show up to CX but have all year to get them strong enough to sprint Camplain
Okay GUY,
1. Xavier isn’t fast. probably another one of the multiple chip malfunctions from the weekend or him pulling his IUSF strings to get seconds taken off his ITT time.
2. Bears are only scary in the wild, NOT on the little 5 track
3. 3PH had nothing to rebuild so thats false
4. lmao thats a funny joke about GG
5. “down year” for theta still probably means podium
6. many people are saying SKI had motors in their bikes all weekend
7. DG is only still relevant cus Coppens thinks her boo is worth staying an extra semester for
8. Never doubt CB
I heard Ski had motors on their bikes for cx
Fall Series is a bigger joke than your comment.

Men’s fall series results = 10 of these teams have a chance to win if they have a strong winter, avoid crashes, stay healthy, eat veggies, and ride a perfect race.
ski could be good but Ivy is a self-destructing time bomb. One thing goes wrong and that girl spins out of control, Meghan built that program and did a damn good job but the Carrico will have to handle Ivy somehow in order for that team to actually do something. C’mon Kirkham.
Whoever you are, you’re a shameful sad person for saying that about Ivy or anyone else for that matter. You should apologize and delete your comment if you have any sense of decency.
DO U REALISTICALLY THINK 10 TEAMS CAN WIN THIS YEAR?? THE ONLY TEAMS W/ A CHANCE ARE CUTTERS, BKB, BEARS, GG, and SIGEP. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW WHO ELSE YOU HAVE W/ A SHOT
Jetblach
I agree with 2Legit – Jetblach is strong, but so is Phi Psi. I think SigEp and 3PH are overrated in a lot of these posts, but we’ll see come spring. DChi also looking strong. Problem with saying only a few teams have a shot is you stop paying attention to certain teams who might have the fitness to prevent a sprint finish with a breakaway. Phi Psi definitely a big one to watch out for on this… they seem to be 5 strong at the moment (considering Wes can recover and make a healthy comeback by spring sometime or earlier).
LOL “Jetblach.”
It’s funny seeeing who on this site really pays attention. Jetblach will be irrelevant this year when they ultimately crash again and cant get the lap back because the race wont be the slowest race in years. Last years top 5 finish was an utter fluke- believe that. Nobody in the pack is scared of a breakaway effort of 2:36 ITTers.
Also if your definition of a deep team is merely having riders than i guess phi psi qualifies as being deep… but so does everyone else. LOL There fall series consisted of nothing but bottom half ITTs and poor bike handling
The only time Dchi will ever be relevant is when they become the CUTTERS again
Nuff Said,
Excited to see some actual racing again this spring. Don’t think any team wants to sprint it out with CUTTERS again with Noble on the bike. Think GG and Sigep have the depth to attempt a breakaway and actually stay away. Ep has Settle and Harris and you know they can recruit. GG has 3 riders returning from last year + young talent. Don’t think BKB is going to have the firepower to break away but with Xavier + Knapp, they’ve got 1 big breakaway move that could stick. Just think the Ep train will be able to bring that back or go with them
Noble Guyon is potentially leaving the Cutters to ride for HB Axeon immediately after they lost one of their sprinters to UAE, article leaked on twitter before they had it removed. Will post link once I find it.
He needs 2-3 more years of development before he would be able to be successful on a development team

Apologize in advance for errors or omissions….
As always, look for second year riders to make the biggest leaps in performance.
It’s alway funny to me, people disrespecting other teams. I’m betting your team wasn’t in the final sprint last year and GREAT JOB to all those that were. if you think Phi Psi won’t be a factor this year, “You’re an idiot “, if you think any CB team was a fluke, “You’re about to be had” I bet people said the same thing in 2012 and 2016. Phi Psi is my pick to win, No way Jetblach will not be a top 5 team, just history and probability.
Sig Ep is the most overrated team I’ve seen on this board. Settel will have another top 5 ITTfinish and make the MNO finals, but rumor has it Harris spends more time at Roys then he does on his bike nowadays. Couple that with the returning raceday member they didn’t actually race because he was THAT big of a liability and a rookie who ate it in the street sprints warm up, I think Settel will need to pull a 2016 delts move and put the team on his back (and PEDs)
Any teams that have a standout rookie after ITTs or anything?
Thoughts… Xavier looks to have gotten back a partner in Strobel. Both looked really strong during fall series. Krahulik deserves a full team before he graduates. Andrew LaValle went a 3:11 for 97th out of 99…. phi psi guys ride annoyingly slow in itt’s. Wes’ injury hurts. There’s no reason Jetblach can’t show out again. Oehler has good support guys again this year. Gray Goat is a rollers team and it showed well, nice itt starts too. Logan looks legit. I must be in the minority for thinking Settle and Harris can pull SigEp to a decent finish. Bears is a wildcard. Cutters is not a lock this year. And sigchi probably won’t be vacaying in Florida for training trip
Krahulik is possibly the most overrated rider in the field aka the Holtkamp of 2019. He can do 4 solo laps decently fast but he has zero sprint in his legs. His draft is so massive that anyone can follow everyone move he makes. He knew what he was getting into when he joined a team carried by Joe instead of a competitive team. People pretend he is the second coming of Joe but the only similarity between is last name. Have fun partying at your frat before its kicked because thats all sae has going for them
Anyone know who the power couples of little 500 will be this year???
Holtcamp and the one sig chi’s wife, for sure.
Word on the street is Brooke Hannon is Bears’ new sprinter
I want to smear yellow paint all over Xavier and spank him like a misbehaved banana
I heard he likes getting spanked….especially on lap 199 by noble and stratton
I look like a cabbage patch doll. Spank me too.
Bro I do not like this comment. Meet me at Roys, real men have face to face chats, we don’t throw arms, we throw love and words. I will be at the bar, in a Poc helmet, with my yellow jersey, and in my chacos.
Guys, sorry for losing the TV contract. Thats my bad.
Either BKB has made some new enemies or cutters are still salty for getting called out for being idiots.
Nice to see cutters is having fun commenting on their own comments……again
Former cutter riders won’t cut it out, nice to see they are still on 33to1.
This is enjoyable
Word around the track… Hank is jumping ship on Forest. Thought he was team captain, ego too big to be a geed?
Omg Forest what a good team…
4x defending men’s dorm team champs 💪🏼
Yes the only dorm team that races. Wow exciting
Yes someone who doesn’t get a joke. Wow exciting
I heard Xavier is ditching BKB for JetBlach… guess he’s serious about winning this year.
“If you’re gonna critique me, you better at least be as good or better”. And you aren’t.
If this is X, I will just refer you to lap 199 last year, let your sophomore handle the sprint if there is one this year. Cheers.
Lol good guess but try again. And thanks for the input, I’ll make sure to remember it this spring! And BTW his name is Buck. Cheers.
This is asking a lot for 33to1, but I think we can all agree this year’s bike design looks like someone on RC was inspired by an old red and white tube sock.
IUSF has a team of ex-drug testing lab monkeys they give buckets of chrome, black, white, and red paint to help them brainstorm design ideas.
