Though Washington has it this year, they won the Pac-12's, but looks like the ladies never quit and captured the national title.

Go Bears!

GO Bears!!!

What turn around. I think in Pac-12 conf we loss to UDUB in most of the races. This time we won 2 out of the 3 races, varsity 8 and the four. Were there lots of personnel changes for the NCAA 'ship.

Congrats to the Bears!

Special props to Head Coach Al Acosta: Berkeley native, Phi Beta Kappa Cal grad. Previously coached lightweight crew on the farm to multiple national titles, but wisely came home to Oski and has already won two NCAA titles.

Was great to see Goff get a win in Austin against the 'Whorns, but was rough to see former Cal Coach Dave O'Neill (2 Bear NCAA titles) celebrated during the game. Pretty sure that sacreligious act is ultimately what killed that big ass cow Bevo weeks later. Don't mess with Oski.

A former Cal roomate's daughter was an accomplished junior rower. During her recruiting, the Princeton coach told the family that they chose 4 or 5 rowers a year from more than 200 admissible recruits annually. My buddy's daughter graduated from Cal, but didn't row for the Bears.

Hopefully the link work but here is the video of all of the races yesterday.

Cal races:

V8 at approx 11:30 mark

IIV8 at approx 27:30

V4 at approx 44:10
