While Sprints may have been disappointing, I don't see anything wrong with silver and off gold by two seconds. And along with Harvard I'd say Yale has some great depth.

Navy also has great depth and I don't see them making the medals dock. Yale has consistently failed to perform in championship races for the past two years and I see no reason why that won't happen again at Natoma.

1. Penn: dream on. lol.

2. Cornell: there is a moderate risk of salmonella poisoning after the entire squad ingests too much goose poop & peanut butter purchased at the local Aldi. On the flip, new research into the area of gastrointestinal microbiota and the potential benefits of poop in the stomach may give the reds the advantage to seal the deal.

3. Columbia: The lion’s have recalibrated following sepassers arrest for secretly funnelling his welfare payments to isis. A ban of all cellular devices before the weekend might be enough to pull them out of their self-destructive simulation, although a strong wifi signal might be their demise. daniel-san spotted carrying their water bottles, always a good sign.

4.Harvard: the dark years of dutchrudderism are over, the crimson are now well and truly in a renaissance, however a botched exorcism and dreams of replicating their 2014 IRA performance will be haunted by the ghost Michiel Bartman.

5. yale: expected to race in full halloween kit in solidarity with Prof. Christakis. Some potential free speed to be gained if they can keep it clean the second time around. rumours of 3 seat going full yolo with a Viagra™ / Creatine cocktail might be the catalyst they need to not slip back again.

6. Navy: the only athletes who’s daddies didn’t buy their way into school. The midshipman have made their way back from the Korean Peninsula and are itching to sink a few ships. Watch for Seaman Glauschnitzin to launch a few torps at the 750m.

7. Dartmouth: every year some derp always points out ‘the ice problem’ in hannover, look, drugs and alcohol trump art, but the inverse is true for boat speed. Luckily the dart-in-the-necks stocked up on gear at the Cambodian camp & there is plenty of crystal meth to go around. I look forward to seeing you in the afterlife Kurt Cobain.

8. Georgetown: I hear they're flying in some jesuits from the Vatican to escort them to the start line in singles.

9. MIT: RIP Chomsky Youth. Hopefully down the line a visionary can rally the troops for an Engineer Reich.

10. Princeton: skurpin’

Not sure if this is the right place. But got told one of the Stanford lightweights broke 7 last winter. That's some serious horsepower. Anyone know if any clubs are setting up a center for the LW2x?

since top 3 from each heat qual for final and there's not really a favored lane, I think it's fair to assume it was a race to be not last.

I think he knew that and that's precisely the joke he's making. Maybe you've missed his never ending bashing of Princeton on other threads.

Penn rowed exceptionally well.

I was surprised by Havrvard slow start, good closing speed at the end of heat

Cornell looks to be in control out in front

Columbia rowed a smart middle 1k

Yale gets out of the blocks well, they need to finish it off

I am waiting for Princeton to put a full race in, its there they need to put it together for the final

I thought MasonSon may have mis-read it as a LWT male, and that led to him posting the Princeton LWT men's coach's email address...low reading comprehension or does he think a LWT woman at weight will help Princeton's speed...which with a watts-to-kilos like she has, might actually be true.

That 6:54.7 has stood for quite a few years now, it would be great to see some woman break it!
