| Monopoly - Here and Now | |
|
| Everyone loves to skew a web-based popularity contest. Monopoly is currently running a poll to determine which cities should occupy which spaces on their new board; first place takes the Mayfair spot, and so on downwards. Cambridge is currently Bond Street - it should clearly be higher. (4 comments...) | |

| CUBC to enter the eights head | |
|
One rowing headline away from the Cam this week is CUBC's decision to enter the eights head which this year is the weekend before the Boat Race.
An interesting approach to tapering, but maybe JPD can comment on whether in previous years (CUBC have held their penultimate week camp in Nottingham for the past 15 years) the crews have spent the weekend before doing a 5k on the Trent.
My guess is that this may have been linked to the cutting of funding to triallists who refused to join the GB squad for winter training in Reading. Maybe this is an attempt to point out to GB Rowing that they're just as good as Leander.
Another thought is that last year's wash up suggested they couldn't cope with either the Tideway itself or the pressure of a busy race day. (3 comments...) | |
