Gotta win the 1V8+ in that case :)  Kudos to head coach Derek Byrnes for staying with the competition and recruiting the right talent to be in the mix.  I think Stanford had the highest number of US rowers in their 1V8+ boat at six (Klok - NED, Zamorano - ESP).  Texas had five US rowers.  For a grand final boat, that shows commitment to recruiting domestic talent, and to medal with those lineups is praiseworthy on the coaches' part.  (In contrast, you can see the men's collegiate nationals lineups in the grand final next weekend!  Or the kal 1V8+ lineup from this weekend...)
