No Water Time? Join the Club
We've heard a lot of crews (no, I don't just mean Wisconsin) complain about their lack of water time this season. There seems to be no relief in sight. Pictures of Princeton's flooded boathouse were all over the internet today. I wonder what impact the weekend's storm had on Washington, DC? If the Hoyas can get back on the water before the Tigers, they may just be able to gain an advantage, and in Saturday's race, any advantage could make the difference.
Going back to the weekend for a moment, the George Mason presser highlights the light four's performance.

Can somebody tell me how the CMAX ranking is supposed to work? How are Wisconsin lights ranked 17 seconds ahead of Goergetown, when they only beat Georgetown by 11 secs? And 13 secs faster than Princeton? And the 13th fastest crew in the country? Faster than their own heavyweights? I seriously doubt it. Seriously, how is this supposed to work?
Checking into it...
it's all based off of statistics and common opponents. my guess is that there aren't enough races for at least one of those teams for an intuitively correct answer to come out. if the raw times are used (heaven forbid), then that headwind princeton got stuck with might play a hand.
