Still Nicer Than Vespolis

Since when has Washington used Empachers? In the photos of their dual with Cal, the men's varsity eight is rowing in one. That's surprising, considering Pocock's long association with Washington rowing. It's only the 1V, though. The junior varsity, freshman, and varsity four are all still rowing Pococks. Weird. I never thought I'd see Washington in anything but a Pocock.

UW has used Pococks for the last few years, but from about 1994-2000, both the men and women's varsity boats rowed in Empachers all the time. I think the men just wanted a change this season.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I only remember seeing UW crews in Pococks.
