...thrilling fact that boats do not actually race against each other, but against the clock (or more specifically, TAG Heuer, the "official timekeeper" of the regatta) does not prevent crowds from gathering happily on the River's banks to cheer a random boat while munching on overpriced fried dough.

"I hope we can beat a couple of the crews who beat us last year. We just barely lost to Cornell and Dartmouth last year and I'd like to beat B.U., Columbia and Rutgers."
