A little light coxing-related humor…
(1) Keep going, they might catch a crab.

(9) Heard after 20 pretty good strokes of a 25k steady state row …
“that’s good, one minute gone.”

(11) Two, watch the buoy.
(12) It looks shallow here…
(13) Pull harder guys…my dad is watching!
(14) Take a 10! You’re dying!
(15) Let’s focus on our technique now (as you cross over the 500m down
mark).
(16) Are we at full pressure?
(17) Weigh enough…so three can recover from his crab.
(18) We are walking on the official’s launch.
(19) When does our race start?
(20) Boy, those guys are fast!

(22) Let it run……in two.
(23) Hold water All!!
(24) They’re going faster than us!
(25) We are going to lose…
(26) Hey guys, it looks terrible but feels great.
(27) They expect me to know what `Weigh Enough’ means?
(28) Does anybody know which side the sandbar’s on here?
(29) OH SHIT!!
(30) (Used while practicing for the Charles..) Now guys, this is the hardest
turn in the course, Oh Shit, Weigh’nuf!!
(31) (While your coach screams) “SAVE THE EQUIPMENT!!!”
(32) One, Two, Three, Seven, Five…. (during a power ten)
(33) Skeg?? what skeg?

(39) Look at that!!
(40) ‘cmon guys, that sculler is beating us
(41) What are these strings for??
(42) Don’t get tired…
(43) (During one of your first hard pieces in training):
“Come on, pull harder than you have ever pulled in your life before!”
(44) What the hell does that sail boat think it’s doing?!!
(45) (Before you push off from the dock) How does this thing work?
(46) Give me a power ten. One. . .Two. . .Three. (yawn) .Four. . . .
(47) We’re four boat lengths down…keep up the good work.
(48) (Head of The Connecticut) ” I think I see the finish line, guys.”
(49) Is there a reason that no one takes this arch?
(50) (After a brutal crab) “Hey, where does three think he’s going?”
