73-31-1 isn't a rivalry.YellowSnow said:
Agree.RaceBannon said:Cal is our traditional rival
There are not many traditions in the collegiate rowing community that match the color, consistency or intensity of the Washington/California rivalry.
Since the first 1.5 mile race in fours on Lake Washington on June 3, 1903, these programs have set aside a weekend each year to race, even if it meant for the first 60 years loading shells onto steamships or railcars to make the 800-mile trip.
Add to that the fact that these two teams – both men and women – have consistently been two of the strongest rowing programs in the nation, and you get an annual event that is as good as it gets to anyone who follows collegiate rowing in our country.
The Washington-California men’s varsity eight dual series dates back to 1903, with 105 meetings between the two schools. UW currently leads the varsity series 73-31-1.At stake is the Schoch Cup, named after Delos “Dutch” Schoch of Washington’s class of 1936. Schoch lettered three years (1934-36) as a Husky oarsman and was the spare to the 1936 Olympic team.
Cal sucks. -
They just needed more time, and in a lot of those seasons they might have finished the year as the faster crew.dnc said:

In the days of Gil Dobie it was true in football too.

I think if you're a true WSU fan it's Beat UW, Nothing Else Matters or GTFO. Trying to act like there is any other rivalry that matters is fucking stupid. Hell, you can go 1-11 and still consider the season a success if they win the Apple Cup.

Husky Stadium and Memorial Stadium both were built in the early 1920's and the latter held 70,000 vs 30,000 for our facility. People tend to forget that.RaceBannon said:In the days of Gil Dobie it was true in football too.

I don't think my Kewgs act like Oregon is a rival - there is fundamentally no basis for that, and even considering the creative self-image meanderings of my fellow Cuogs, that's a stretch for us!!!YellowSnow said:I think if you're a true WSU fan it's Beat UW, Nothing Else Matters or GTFO.

I'm just saying they?? we!!! hate them, and not only do I wonder why, I suggest that a resurgent Oregon should make an self-respecting Cuog happy and proud by proxy.
I disagree with our resident CWU goofball - everybody else doesn't hate Oregon; he's just projecting. Most don't care about the Pac at all, so there's that. Of those even aware, Oregon is just this curious program in the NW corner who used to score a lot of points.
The truth is, we!!! are not capable of making a sustained run on Washington and overtaking them as the state's top program, - not in this century or the next. We!!! have too many fundamental disadvantages, starting with the fact that we're a school full of retards.
But Washington looks down on us damn it!!! They?! think they're better than us!!!, and that's fucking unacceptable. So why wouldn't I embrace the one program in the PNW who can embarrass Washington and make its entire fucking fan base question their place in the pecking order? We!!!! can't do it, so we!!! might as well support, or at least not hate on, the one progrum that can.

Yes, I tend to forget that, because I don't care. Cal sucks. That's all we need to know.YellowSnow said:

They've had a few flashes in the past decades, but still suck. I'm fond though of reminding people why they had a 70,000 seat stadium in the first place. They are the original Minnesota/Syracuse.creepycoug said:
