Harvard-Yale rowing: a long tradition on the Thames

[@devilledhamman]

"It's the race that they'll remember most when they're through rowing."- Harry Parker That's certainly true for me. Red Top days are my strongest and best memories of college. I'm forever grateful for having a part in it.

Great piece. Go Yale!

[@RighteousReverendDynamite]

I wish they would bring back classic white-hulled, mahogany-paneled steam yachts to line the race course with spectators. What a sight that was (of course, only a few yachts of that era are even around any more). Way to go, to both teams. Carry on strongly. Harry Parker will always be with you.

The Thames River in Connecticut is not pronounced the same as the Thames River in England.

[@drk2aps]

Pronunciation is fine but it is NOT the first inter-collegiate athletics contests ever for any university, Unless Oxford and Cambridge don't count as universities!

[@ninjaskilledmyfather]

He's referring to American universities.

[@ninjaskilledmyfather]

You do if it's the one in Connecticut.

[@janpierrel-boas5008]

Why do American rowers bend so little at the hip? They are not using the leg muscles fully

[@leeryan1051]
