Shout out to @HuskyJW for a thread that delivered! Thought it would be fun to have a discussion about our all-time "Agony of Defeat" type moments in athletic competition.
For me: My eight lost to CAL once by a seat (fraction of a second) at a PAC 10 championship. We were down by a boat length or more the majority of the race and would have passed them if we had another 100 meters. This was especially humiliating because we were not a loser program and we hardly ever lost to CAL. Crushing agony of defeat type of moment.
You're a rower? How about "10 things you never new about rowing"
I think I would get WTF'd outta here in a hurry with a 10 things you never knew about rowing sort of post and I don't want to have to LEAVE.
Damn, another rower. I'm working on a poast for you guys.
You two fags are knew around here. Gay Rowboat may be gay and all but is still appreciated enough since Washington is like good at it. Like really fucking good. Best program in the cuntry good. And this place is built on the core belief of winning first and everything else second. I rowed for a year at UW but I sucked. Sucked relative for a UW rower. I guess that makes my most embarrassing moment having to retire from rowing due to injury.
Sucked relative to a UW Rower is a key distinction. Yes, am relatively new here since last Fall but have been following the halfbrain movement for a while. Just never brought of the gay rowboat thing until some of the recent threads about athletic prowess or lack thereof. I was a 4 year guy, and amongst my crew buddies I am the most dedicated fan of husky football.
Fat Mexican chick was running back in 7th grade. Tipping at least 2 gorditas (200 lbs). She trucked me and I think only reason she fell was her cleat in my face mask. That's why I voted for Trump.
Playing 10U baseball in the semi-final round. End up working a walk in the bottom of the 7th and stealing 2nd base. Next hitter hits a single up the middle and I had enough wheels to score, except I somehow missed touching 3rd base, thus making me out. We ending up losing the game in extra-innings.
So long as you rape and pillage when you get to land.
On we sweep with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore.
Fag. At least illustrate that shit.
Yes. Despite being only a few years older than Millennial status, I suck at message board IT- i.e., pics and gifs. Gonna need to reach out to @GrundleStiltzkin for some tutorials.
Hot Viking chick by the way. For me in life, it's 6 foot tall or above Viking princess looking women or GTFO.

No, row it boat is not really gay; it's tuff ass shit. I was just using @whlinder 's terminology in the sense that Crew is: (a) boring as hell as a spectator sport most of the time, although it once used to draw way bigger crowds of spectators than Husky football when there was nothing else to watch in Seattle; and (b) it is the essential sport for slow, tall, uncoordinated white boys, who suck a sports ball. A lot of you fuckers here were probably way better than me in HS hoops (or other forms of sports ball), but you put me on an erg (rowing machine) in my prime and I could pull 2000 meter times just a few seconds off what dude in the Olympics need to pull.

All you needed to say is you're 6'6" and couldn't dunk. We inferred the rest.

Never said "couldn't" dunk. Dunk yes; dunk well and in a game over other dudes - hell no.

Flag football semifinals and I show up with a massive hangover. Buddy gives me a speed pill (fer the younguns speed was a great pick me up in the 80s if you were to poor to buy coke) to fire me up.
1st series I get a pick 6 and do the Prime Time high stepping the last 10 yds & talk shit to the other team. Get an unsportsmanlike conduct flag.
3rd quarter we run a pick play, but instead of rubbing the DB I crackback his ass. Total decleater. Get a unnecessary roughness flag plus warning from officials that any more bullshit and I'm gone. Didn't help that I let out a big Woo Ric Flair style after the hit.
4th quarter game tied I blitz from QB blindside. Instead of ripping off the flag for the sack, I blast him into the ground. Of course I get another penalty for roughing the QB and ejected. We lose by 1 TD thanks to the 1st down I gave them extending the drive.
After I get tossed I puke my guts out...previous nights tequila shots, beer, and Taco Bell in all its nastiness about 5 ft behind the opponent's bench.
Never asked to play on that team again....team captain said I had anger issues. I guess being tormented and beaten on by 5 older brothers for 10 years makes one a little edgy
