Default 2006 Boat Race results !!

This just in. US wins Boat Race fair and square. US: 3, Rest of the World: 0

Leading off, Biff went up against Dave the Canuck, winning easily. Kevin Miller kept the lead alive by breezing past Bernd. Then Brett "heydick" Bayless slugged one while Frazer poured his beer down his face (please note: this is highly illegal!); next it was Andy Kane against yet another German, who tried to take the lead, but our own Skinny Pacino made up for the slight deficit by keeping up with Scott the Canuck. It all came down to the anchor players : your own Mad Max and Andreas. Needless to say, the picture says it all = team USA wins!!! Closest Boat Race in history, but the USA still remains undefeated!!!

USA keeps the trophy - a mounted plaque with the only part of Bogan's plane that did not catch fire! As Biff said, we did it for God and Country!
