So basically we tied for last place. Pathetic.

Looks like we're in last place in men's and women's golf, too, at least from the headlines. Just don't have enough interest to click on the links for verification that we suck in those sports too. I'll be surprised if Zenger let's this type of performance continue for long.

The headline is very deceiving. In a four team competition, we tied for last.

... guess we need nicer facilities. ... maybe we need more rowing scholarships? ... or, maybe there should only be three rowing teams in the Big 12, instead of 4? ... no ... I'd hate to discourage Kansas high school rowers from pursuing their dreams of rowing in college ... oh, wait, there is no high school rowing in Kansas. ... Mr. Zenger, can't we honor Title IX, by adding scholarships to other sports, so we can be good at something? ... I'm sorry ... I have nothing against rowers, and I really like women's athletics, but I have a big issue knowing that my Williams Fund Contributions are going to fund this unnecessary sport.
