Your weekly round-up from row2k. Et vous pret?
Shushing is a Thing Now?
And, if “shushing” is in, what is the standard? Reserved for something like the above: Gtown besting Princeton for the first time in a decade or so? Or suitable for winning your 11th title in a row? When, apparently, a triple-shhh is de rigueur:

Never was a regular season steering DQ so labored over, or more full of protest-shaming...but you can't row a shorter course and claim the win. Dem's the rules.
Plus, fwiw, most places put a DQ'd crew last, without a time, but sure: you could go this route, we guess.
