After rowing today I went up to Willis Reed and told her how badly I would like to be the one who just sits and does nothing...But they do work...The coxswain is like a player/coach who also steers the boat. So when you go to rowing next year you will understand that the person who is not rowing is actually doing something useful.
Rowing is the oldest college American Sport.
I also have a theory that the most intimidating thing in rowing is the name on the boat.
For example I knew Trinity would be good when the name of the boat was the Norman T. Graf...or the Sheldon Watson Brown. Things named like that tend to be pretty good.
Our Varsity 8 boat is named after Sam Witryol. If it smelled like Sam's tobacco and other teams knew just how much of a gangster Sam is then they would probably be too nervous to even launch their boat.
On another random thought...I would pay to watch Sam be put in the coxswain seat (person who motivates and steers) at a race and watch him light up his pipe while coming past the last buoy.
Unrelated news...I must truly be famous...I'm that guy who was at UConn rowing and Track and Field today. I saw Marquis Thomas and he thanked me for my support of Track...(I am very loyal to Track and Field because my roommate freshman year was on the track team and I know several people on men's track) I told Marquis that I had gone to rowing earlier and he said "I know, our trainer Mo told me." Either I'm that guy that they saw or I'm just recognizable.
Whatever it may be I love my sports and I love my major of Sports Management and I love learning and I love experiencing everything about sports. So I attend a lot of sporting events and show support to all of UConn's teams.
