So it's good to be in a big program and its good to be in a small program. whys the man always gotta beat down the middle class?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-25564287075087936622007-05-18T09:10:00.000-04:002007-05-18T09:10:00.000-04:00Given the basic idea of the event, and the reasoni...Given the basic idea of the event, and the reasoning behind not inviting Stanford, I don't get why the 2 powerhouse 8 teams from last year are automatically invited.

Does anyone else have two (or three) eights? I am curious what is the smallest team size that has produced a winning lightweight 8. Is the second 8 necessary for the first 8 to be fast?

I kept on dreaming through my college days that one day my team would have 8 lightweights so that we would have a sliver of hope at going to IRA. We've never had 8 lightweights. It excited me so much to hear that there is a 4. Now I'm graduated, so there's no hope for me, but I'm really excited at the idea that my girls will have a shot at it in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-15610686385355844622007-05-16T21:52:00.000-04:002007-05-16T21:52:00.000-04:00anyone who the replacement will likely be?anyone who the replacement will likely be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345420.post-67284335177104296852007-05-16T21:41:00.000-04:002007-05-16T21:41:00.000-04:00Pitt will not be going to the IRA.Pitt will not be going to the IRA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
