loved every bit of this because i,m always on the edge of my seat wanting oxford to win it makes me stressed esp in bad weather so i hope its ok for 09 go oxford all the way get it on

[eaglesfan37]

i'd like to see oxford and cambridge compete at IRA's with all of the american colleges

[bjbjbzz]

they would get wrecked

well, given that both crews regularly beat olympic-level crews and elite clubs like Leander and Molesley containing numerous GB/world champ rowers, I'd put my money pretty heavily on Oxford and Cambridge destroying most if not all US comers, actually. Consider that the Oxford 2009 boat had 5 olympic medallists . . .

@ddscott12 I dont know about that. UK has a very different system of college athletics and sporting than the USA. Gotta think guys who go to Oxford/Cambridge because they are the two dominate schools in rowing. Meanwhile, USA doesn't have a total dominate team. So every year(or 2 if a team has some sort of dynasty) there's always a new team on top, Unlike the UK who always has Cambridge or Oxford on top.
