Don't know why they make a big fuss of the boat race ,it's the same two teams in the final every year
(A bit like the Scottish cup final.)
Yeah just some historical thing really that has strangely hung on, not sure if it's still a "Thing" with kids these days but I remember when I was younger kids would be going around apparently pledging support for either Oxford or Cambridge
I seem to recall following Oxford on the basis of my Mum telling me that my Grandad who had died years before supported them (God knows why), my Dad who was as blue collar working class as it was possible to be just sat there ranting about why anyone would support those posh fuckers
It was always good fun for a strong opinion in our house when I was a kid
