It’s the 86th edition of the men’s Big Row on Saturday morning. The annual rivalry with that South Bay school that has been dominated by California Golden Bears, since Washington is much more of a Cal rival on the water.
I haven’t got the chance to write anything about Cal rowing just yet, but the perennial national championship contender that’s men’s rowing is having an uneven regular season. Bears lost to the defending IRA champs Yale at the San Diego Crew Classic and also lost the Schoch Cup to Washington last weekend. Bears have beaten Oregon State this year as well as Wisconsin at the Stanford Invitational.
