We always lose to Cal (aka Official 2023 Rowboat Season Thread)
- Thread starter whlinder
- Start date
I'm guessing CAL wins the V8+ race by a length or more. They are the #1 ranked team in the country at present.
I will be heading down on May 14th to Pac 12's at Dexter Lake to watch the rematch.
Fuck Mother's Day.

If we're being truly objective in our row boat hawt talk, we have to accept the CAL is very much on the Mt Rushmore of College Rowing in the US. We are slightly ahead of them in Natties, but just barely (it's like 1 or 2). Some years they are just going to be faster than an us and we're in one of those cycles right now.
There's no shame in losing to a GOOD California crew. Shit, I've lost to them 3 times and beat them 3 times in my illustrious row peter puffer career.
Uncle Ky!
The conveniently leave out the part about Ky being a "Dwag" who was sent down to their to CAL to save their program.
I've only been in the Old Boathouse, but the new one looks like a pretty amazing facility even though Oakland is a cool fucking city, man.
Men’s rowing Mt Rushmore is very clearly Washington, Cal and Harvard. I would have to consult the record books to decide between Yale and Princeton.
ETA: well fuck me, I forgot Princeton sucked for a long time and that Cornell was good at rowing in the early 1900s. I’m giving #4 to Yale over Cornell since Cornell hasn’t done shit in 40 years.

@whlinder was a row peter puffer. Technically the (we) question mark is not required.
Also, I'm pretty sure our stroke - she's an insanely fit Ausie chick - is on the juice.
Most gunned out female rower I've every seen at UW.

Rowboat doesn't have as many up sets as football @JoeEDangerously . This CAL team is stacked.
Also Yale is the clear #2 all time at Eastern Sprints.

Washington
Harvard
Yale
Cal
That’s the official Mt Rushmore
We’ll I was right and Cal won. But only by a few seconds so I’m saying there’s still a chance to catch them later this season.
