I am really surprised Mike Sullivan hasn't been all over this -- if
for no other reason than consistency.
The University of Washington men's rowing program is being represented
in Russia to race Oxford, Cambridge, some Ruskies and others...but it
is really a bunch of alumni in the boat.
ooooOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!
How dare they? C'mon, Sully where is the outrage? My god if this were
USC committing such an outrageous act where would we be? Well,
cheering on there No. 1 ranked Football team for one. How's Stanford
looking this year?

Stirring of marginally relevant memory here - AIRITT Stanford
[representing USA] are the reigning Olympic Rugby champs - from Paris
1924? ..... and that their team included one or two of the US
"Chariots of Fire" sprinters?
I'm sure I'm right about some of this; in my college days you could
always start some fun in a UK pub by asking brightly "Do you know who
the Olympic Rugby Champions are?"
Back on thread, well not really, just watched last night's National
Football. Nice one Giants!

"Moscow International Regatta". 180 Google hits, hmm. Let's look at
one http://www.jsamarket.ru/eng/news/ ... varied programme. Bolshoi,
indeed; well their cardio-vascular fitness and endurance is beyond
doubt, as is the strength of the male dancers, but can they keep their
length rating 42? And a marathon rowing race too: 35 hectometers.
Neither Oxford nor Cambridge has started term yet, so I wonder what sort
of crews they're putting out. If it's last year's rowers then they're
alumni too, but this year's are still on holiday!

ohh, good one. Stanford/Cal is a very lively and intense rivalry here
in the bay area. In some sports, you can have an awful season and lose
most of your competitions, but if you beat the rival that year, you can
redeem yourself.
Cal has had a dominant rugby program nationally. Stanford's has been
mediocre to poor, indeed one year caused big controversy (coverage in the
nat'l press) because they refused to play a match with Cal. Cal was too
good.

Sully, some consistency pleeeease...
You went on a rant about how the USC crew at Henley should have raced
as Trojan Rowing Club or SoCal crew or some such name and not
represented themselves with the word 'university' because they were
not eligible under American rules, even though such rules do not apply
to Henley Royal Regatta.
I really want to hear you launch into this Huskies crew and show you
never did have an personal issue with the Trojans (I'm guessing you've
lost a lot of money betting against their football team over the
years).
