The 159th University Boat Race OFFICIAL THREAD

hip_young_gunslinger [Edit] [Delete] 11:18, 28 March '13

YES! IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

'The worst TV spectacle of the year' - marckee, DiS, 2012
'rowing can fuck off' - verbal, DiS, 2012

It's still a few days away but I'm not going to waste time on DiS on a bank holiday or weekend, so now's the time to hype up the excitement! Will the Mighty Light Blues continue their dominance? Will the Pitiful Dark Blues claim back a shred of self-respect? Will an Australian take an impromptu dip to take a stance against elitism or wealth or something? NOBODY KNOWS!

A series of unusual events granted Cambridge an easy win last year, but this time it's all to play for, and we'll all be cheering on our chosen team of foreign ringers doing the least demanding degree courses the universities offer.

Indie points awarded for:

They're not even necessarily the best university rowing squads, why do they get to go on TV? (50 points)
Bunch of rich toffs, hope they all drown (100 points)
Innuendo involving 'cox' (200 points)

COME ON PLEBS, LET'S GET EXCITED!
