It’ll be good for them! Seeing your old man cry while watching a sports movie is a kiddo rite of passage.haie said:

And Lego castles are the shit. I’m jealous of all the cool Lego stuff my nephews have. -

Yeah props to @haie for repping that gear.
All my shit is getting old and has Nike logos on it. May be doing a refresh now. Assume we will have some good stuff come out, cause I hadn’t seen that T shirt before. -
I have a Joe Rantz daughter signed 36 row boat poster and about 15 movie posters I took after the Utah game.

All my Adidas golf polos in Large fit right but also don’t shrink like cotton does. -
I took some old UW gear to Seattle last week to donate at goodwill. I had to include a newish Adidas hoody because even though it was a large, it runs small and I’ve got some girth.YellowSnow said:

I got stuck in line picking up some nacho cheese for our special meeting. Fingers crossed Mrs nacho extends that hall pass for our night of debauchery in Bloomington.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Keeping track of the free pub is hard
The Boys in the Boat cast trained 'just like regular rowers'
Hollywood at the Head of the Charles
WaPo holiday move season guideThe Boys in the Boat
Return to menu
(Dec. 25, PG-13)
Starring: Callum Turner, Joel Edgerton.
Based on a nonfiction bestseller that charted the unlikely rise of a crew team from Depression-era Washington state to a gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, director George Clooney’s inspirational sports drama stars Turner (“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”) as one of the rowers, Joe Rantz, and Edgerton (“Master Gardener”) as his coach, Al Ulbrickson.
Talking point: Clooney, a fine actor who has been nominated four times for his on-camera work — winning once, for supporting actor in “Syriana” — has fared less well behind the camera. Although he was nominated for both writing and directing “Good Night, and Good Luck,” his only non-acting Oscar win was for producing “Argo.” It’s not for lack of trying. “The Boys in the Boat” follows in the footsteps of such failed Oscar bids as “The Tender Bar,” “The Midnight Sky,” “Suburbicon” and “The Ides of March” — all directed by Clooney and all opening in the heart of Oscar season. -

https://www.row2k.com/features/6204/building-boats-for--the-boys----part-1/The film will take viewers back to the days of wooden shells when the titular Boys rowed their famed Pocock eight to victory at the 1936 Olympics. Recreating that world required boats which would fit the bill. While there were some wooden boats used to make parts of the film, including two eights purpose-built by two of the last remaining wooden boatbuilders in the UK, the filmmakers also relied on a fleet of ten carbon-fiber shells dressed to fit the part--a fleet which came to be thanks to WinTech.
WinTech's Dave Dickison, Brent Keuch, and Terry O’Neill--who himself became very involved in the film when he was ultimately asked to coach the actors who would row the boats--shared the story behind their contributions to the boats and the film.
In the end, WinTech built eleven carbon-fiber hulled boats for the film: a prototype that they used to show the production company how they could replicate the look of a wooden shell, and then ten shells which were rowed in the film. The prototype ultimately made it into the film as well, as a prop. That shell, said Keuch, WinTech's Chief Marketing Officer, can be seen on the racks in the boathouse in a few scenes, where, of course, it looks just like another wooden shell. -

Part 2 on the boats used. The attention to detail down to the oarlock swivels...
https://www.row2k.com/features/6205/building-boats-for--the-boys----part-2/Getting down to specific details like the wood grain would go on to play a role in the film, differentiating Washington's Pocock hull from the other shells in the Olympic final.
"The boats had to look different," Brent Keuch said, "because in 1936 [at the Olympics], there was only one Pocock."
"In the final, you had the Italians using the Donoratico, the Germans were using a Pirsch, the British were using the Sims," according to O’Neill. "With all of those, there wasn't that much obvious difference, but what was very different was that the gunnel on the Pocock used a very light colored pine. So the boat was two-tone and it was quite distinct, whereas the other boats would be stain varnished all the way over in one color."
