Listen up dumb fucks, people like to forget that row boat the original intercollegiate sport both on an international level (i.e., Oxford racing Cambridge) and in the US, so show a little god damned respect. If it weren't for row boat pioneering the concept of colleges competing against each other, we might not even have college football, and would all have to be like a bunch of gay 12's watching pro football.

I'll grant you that but also mention Rugby and Cricket. The Olympic sports were first (ancient Greece!), while in intercollegiate terms, Harvard and Yale started rowing competition in 1852.

Meanwhile, Penn and Haverford were playing cricket in the 1840's, other Ivy League schools were playing rugby at the same time.

But whatevs

True, but that was all intermural stuff I believe, right? First Harvard - Yale rugby game wasn't until 1875.

Apparently there weren't rules and shit back then, so people just mobbed onto the field and tried to hurt each other. Like the Autzen porking lot but a little bit less rapey



But Haverford absolutely claims cricket as being intercollegiate in the 1840's:

While a student at the University of Pennsylvania, Wister founded the “Junior Cricket Club,” one of the first cricket clubs in the country for Americans. While the “Junior Club” was short-lived, its match against Haverford College on May 7, 1843, was the first intercollegiate sporting event in Penn’s history. ,/blockquote>

@doogie is a faggot.

Oh, and UW beat Hitler at rowboat once. Big deal. UO graduated Tojo's foreign minister from its law skool.

But yes, rowboat is a big deal for some people. Some gay people.

sort of like track for whOregon?

If your good at track you can go on the international circuit and make good money.

If your good at rowboat you're good at rowboat.

Learn the difference.

Ashton Eaton got a street named after him in LaPine. Have you ever been to LaPine? It fucking sucks.

Rowboat kids were born rich, track kids have to work for it.

Ultimately; Track = Rowboat.

Ashton Eaton is being pegged by Brianne Thieson and doing Nike ads during the Olympics. Rowboat guys are trying to lose excess weight and build a client list at JP Ameritrade.

I'll admit - that fact that you possess such useless knowledge has me slightly disgusted and slightly aroused.

Race was there when the Oxford Commas took it to Cambridge that fateful day.

I don't always listen to faggy, hipster bands, but when I do, I like some of that Vampire Weekend. Oxford Comma is a catchy little tune.

I hate Vampire Weekend. Wannabe fucking morphs of Joe King Carrasco and Elvis Costello.

I will keep my powder dry and not stick up for Vampire Weekend in this instance. In other words, I can't fault someone for hating them. I did at one time find their first album to be a bit of a guilty pleasure.

To my knowledge as of now there is no vampire boat entered into the yacht parade. I have no doubt that the vampires would be welcome to join the yacht parade but they should probably hurry

whlinder

At least we* scheduled a difficult non-conference country Power-5 economy opponent for Windermere Cup
