Finish Line loves the MEB

This is great. In the new commercials for the Nike Turbo Oz shoe from Finish Line, they show a bunch of runners competing on a NASCAR-style track, and one of the runners is named "Meb Caplensky" (or something like that). His team colors are yellow and black, so in the stands there's a whole group of people wearing "GO MEB" yellow t-shirts. Pretty darn cool.
