Boys In The Boat
I'm only about 70 pages into it. Joe just made freshmen first boat. Almost cried.
So far, this is The Grapes of Wrath, which is a complement. Similar read and similar story so far. One of my favorite books. I wound up reading a lot of Steinbeck because of Grapes. i feel like I'm reliving it. Joe had it rough.
During my visit I passed Joe's high school several times, Roosevelt High. Pleasant surprise. I can already tell this book is gong to leave mark.
@YellowSnow thank you for the boathouse tour. I see it constantly as I read, especially the '36 canoe hanging in the rafters. I knew at the time I was seeing something special, I soaked it in rill good.
I'm sure I'll poast more about it as I continue reading. My WAC education prevents this from happening quickly and in this case it's a good thing. I'm savoring every word and photo.

Fantastic book. Held out on reading it for a while, bad decision.

And they rowed, paddled, till their hands bled. U rowed an hour or 2 a day then back to the cozy shack for crack (butt)

Yella, The cool thing [as you know] is that the power and grandeur of the legacy continues in full force to this day.
The level of achievement and commitment is the most impressive feat of longevity and pure dominance I have ever seen in collegiate sports. Nothing else is even close. Wrapping opening day into the celebration has now made this into such a powerful force. Yow. -
There have been some down years, mind you, but dating back to 1923, UW has won, at least, one row boat natty in each decade except the 60s.DawgsCanDance said:Yella, The cool thing [as you know] is that the power and grandeur of the legacy continues in full force to this day.

I knocked it out in a day once I started. Even though you know what happens it is sofaking good.
Without question. So many dudes who have read that book line up to suck my dick because I rowed for UW. It doesn't matter that I sucked, it's such a powerful story that it puts people in awe of anyone who rowed for Washington.YellowSnow said:

I was twash as fuck as an athlete compared to my wife. She got a free education, played in the big dance against chicks like Sue Bird, etc.
But I get my duck sucked constantly cause I was a row peter puffer at UDub and she gets ZERO free pub. Mrs Snow gets super jelly.
This book was a game changer. -
