The Boat Race thread
That's right bitches, tomorrow is the 157th University Boat Race, with the staggering might of the light blues looking to crush the dark blue scum and raise their lead to 81-75.
Weather is predicted to be good, and strong tides are offering the chance of record times along that epic stretch of river from Putney to Mortlake. Cambridge are favourites at the bookies at 4/9, with Oxford lagging at 13/8. However, my sources in the Cambridge rowing scene say confidence isn't high, and last year Cambridge were definite underdogs but still managed to pull it back, so what do the bookies know?
History. Passion. Sweat. Sinking. Posh birds drinking Pimms. It's the greatest amatuer sporting competition in the world. LET'S FUCKING ROW.
