You don't want to mix Creep and 7-11 (the one on Aurora near the U-District, since you're relatively new here). Even with UW Crew credentials. It wouldn't be a good day for you.YellowSnow said:
Would it meet the definition then of irony if I as a varsity letter winner at UW in Crew challenged you @creepycoug to a 7-11 rendezvous based on your insistence that Washington has the most storied college Rowing program?creepycoug said:
I've got this to say about that:YellowSnow said:
I'd probably give Harvard the nod as the all time most storied program as alluded to in my earlier TL; DR comments. UW and Cal just a notch behind them. UW's stature, however, is greatly enhanced of late given the book and the recent run of total dominance from 2007 to the present- i.e., 7 NT's in the past 10 years. The shellhouse has even become a spot for literary tourism of late and guided tours are available: http://washingtonrowing.com/about/connibear-shellhouse/RaceBannon said:I find it interesting that @creepycoug picks crew to go full doog over. The idea that UW is second to none in crew is the type of statement that the sod buster I know would rip to shreds.
Harvard and Cal have something to say here
FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! You and Racebannon can go FUCK YOURSELVES.
We? have Boys in the Boat, Pocock (yes, I know), multiple victories at the HOCR, we have won Henley, we have won titles in both genders.
By chance did you see what we did to the Chineese National Team? I know the Commies are short legged and all, but Washington beat 'em by 20 fucking boat lengths.
What do you think happened to Damone? Yeah, that's what happened. -
UW beat China so bad I am still legitimately worried for their lives.creepycoug said:

Damn it Swaye. I've told you this 1,000 times. We were drunk on the rez, again, and you didn't get on a fucking rowing machine. You mounted a billy goat behind the bar and got a horn stuck in your ass. That's why it still hurts.Swaye said:IThen I got on a rowing machine several years ago and almost died after 20 minutes. I think I still hurt.
You always get this one twisted with the fucking erg machine; I don't know why. -
In addition to Beat The Nazis in Berlin THEN Pop Off, We* also have Beat The Soviets in Moscow THEN Pop Off.YellowSnow said:
Harvard - They didn't even attend the IRA regatta - quasi NT until 1982 and official post 1995 - until the mid to late 90's. Their focus was the Eastern Sprints which they've won 29 times and the Harvard - Yale race. In a lot of those years before 1995 they would have won IRA's. They did win 6 NT's in the 80's and early 90's and the now defunct College Rowing National Championship that used to occur in Cincinnati. I'm guessing Harvard has likely had the "fastest" boat in the country in, at least, 25- 30 seasons going back to the early 1900's. They also had, arguably, the greatest coach of the sport in the modern era in Harry Parker.creepycoug said:I'm going to get untold amounts of shit for this, but I was actually in Windsor and watched it this weekend.
All jokes aside, it was surprisingly enjoyable. The place is absofuckinglutely full of these eastern upper-tier schools and their fans (with a few not-so-upper tier schools - hello Gonzaga, Ohio State, WSU and Central Florida). Cal rowing fans travel like Nebraska classy to an Orange Bowel, outnumbering Washington fans 5 to 1 EASILY. And there's the creep: ostensibly wearing the colors of the small New England DIII college he was technically there to watch (fuck off - no more information for you), yelling like a mother fucker with the other 8 Washington fans who showed up as the Husky women just fucking annihilated the division 1 field.
This is still a major sport back east; trust me on that. And there's some fun to be had watching some old, arrogant Princeton fuck mumble to himself as he watches his beloved Tigers get their asses handed to them by a Washington crew.
But the Cal group was the best. They beat Washington in season, and lost to them at Pac 12s, so they must've thought they had a chance.
They didn't.
It got really fucking quiet when Cal realized they were out of it. Stanford had a great finish but Washington led throughout and were never really in danger of losing.
There is not a school in the country with Washington's rowing tradition. Not one.

Back in the good old days of tuff loggin' camp liberals, it used to be acceptable to have a for profit business running on University property.

The first time I did a night landing I shit myself a little bit. Not sure if scared or loose butthole.YellowSnow said:
I used to think the same thing about naval aviators and then I realized that landing a jet on a carrier going 30 knts and big ocean swells is really hard. Glad we're building some mutual respect here.Swaye said:I used to think rowers were faggots. Then I got on a rowing machine several years ago and almost died after 20 minutes of what would be moderate to low exertion for a serious rower. Now I just think they are mildly gay, as opposed to full on power bottoms. I wil never get on a rowing machine again. I think I still hurt.
