Too bad that the athletic department doesn't seem to know much about rowing and that this big east "accomplishment" is not much at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-41362355874211419422010-08-27T09:49:23.073-04:002010-08-27T09:49:23.073-04:00If Georgetown only cares about the big east result...If Georgetown only cares about the big east result, this means the head women’s rowing coach has failed in his duty to support the entire women’s rowing program. If done correctly, the head women’s rowing coach would have marketed lightweight women’s rowing and explained the value of the IRA (Please see Stanford, Wisco and Radcliffe). However, when there is a conflict of interest between lightweight womens rowing and the head coaches personal goals the school and AD will never be educated about the true value of lightweight women’s rowing.<br /> <br />Those Georgetown supporters who look at the 2010 big east result as a sign that their “program” is competitive and on the cusp of an NCAA bid are wrong. Look at the events from the 2010 big east championship that would determine NCAA qualification. Also remember, Georgetown was already using lightweights in these crews - varsity 8 finished 5th – 21.8 seconds behind the winner. 2v second place finish but they were still 8.9 seconds behind first. V4silver but 18.3 seconds behind first. <br /><br />someone in DC needs a reality check. 7 lengths behind the 1V winner, 3 lengths behind the 2v winner and 9 ½ lengths behind the winner of the 4+.It is delusional to think that lightweights training with the openweights all year will close the gap between where the hoyas currently are and where the AQ qualifying champ of the big east will be.<br /><br />Lastly, Syracuse hired a proven winner to re-direct their program and Louisville is flooding their program with more and more money. In DC, enjoy these days of being a "top 3 big east program."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-84289081082247698052010-08-26T19:41:41.526-04:002010-08-26T19:41:41.526-04:00The athletic department cares about the Big East, ...The athletic department cares about the Big East, since that is their conference, duh. Virginia has some good lightweights, but in openweight boats. When Putryae mixed his open and lights at the Big East, they finished second. Sure, the Sprints finish was a different story as the lights were in lwt boats. If I was a lightweight at Gtown, I would much rather be part of a top three Big East program than fifth and sixth out of six at the IRA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-74262128668867696832010-08-25T01:50:13.087-04:002010-08-25T01:50:13.087-04:00Big East?

Gtown ltwts have better rowers and row better, which is why Putyrae is dissolving their program. Too bad it is going to backfire because they will no longer get good ltwts, only their average openweights who get in to go to Gtown. NCAA bid? What did they place at EASTERN SPRINTS? 14 out of 15? And now they want to go to NCAA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-36390894323003216732010-08-24T17:03:34.650-04:002010-08-24T17:03:34.650-04:00so what does it take to be "nationally ranked...so what does it take to be "nationally ranked"? It seems to me that every varsity lightweight men's and women's program is nationally ranked. In fact, it seems as if programs that don't even exist are also nationally ranked. Based on the IRA, there are eight lightweight teams and Georgetown was sixth (bottom third). You could easily argue that their Big East openweight squad is ranked higher than the bottom third of Division I women's rowing teams. Or, you could even say, who cares if Georgetown lightweights make it to the top third. Who cares? But, as a Big East program, I think there are lot of folks in their department who care if their overall combined squad can have a shot at the Big East win and a future AQ to the NCAA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-20665674599150144472010-08-08T09:44:57.957-04:002010-08-08T09:44:57.957-04:00what a shame! gtown has always been one of the few...what a shame! gtown has always been one of the few consistant ltwt teams. to take a nationally ranked team and sacrifice it for the sake of a much slower team does not make sense. was it Putyrae who made him leave?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-42829959840274911922010-08-04T10:26:56.541-04:002010-08-04T10:26:56.541-04:00Putyrae is going to emphasize the openweight crews...Putyrae is going to emphasize the openweight crews and use lightweight athletes in the open 1v during the season and at the eastern sprints. o’conner would have never gone for it and would have fought for the independence of the ltwt. squad so Putyrae forced him out before announcing this planAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-42724153533247488712010-07-28T21:15:37.824-04:002010-07-28T21:15:37.824-04:00i heard that GTOWN is looking for a new coach -- w...i heard that GTOWN is looking for a new coach -- what happened to o'conner?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-18534899230095888772010-06-08T12:19:08.679-04:002010-06-08T12:19:08.679-04:00S T A N F O R DS T A N F O R DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-76505736488357276892010-02-17T13:46:20.361-05:002010-02-17T13:46:20.361-05:00Anon,

How does that even give you any credible insight into a situation that you aren't a part of? I'd rather hear the opinions of people who are putting in the hours every day towards racing at the IRA. I think every program has seen their fair share of people leave, and everyone involved knows it's because those people can't handle it. Again, now that your 'friend' has coped out, why do you care?
