Purple Pipe: Tyler McBride
 |
Niru
Somayajula/Gazette |
| ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT, GENTLY DOWN THE... Western rower Tyler McBride is either nocturnal of absolutely nuts - take your pick. |
As I drove into the
Fanshawe Conservation Park's Rowing Club at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning,
I envisioned Western Mustangs rower Tyler McBride as the devil, equipped
with a long oar to knock me into the burning inferno of hell. Why did
he have to win not one, not two, but three gold medals this past weekend
in Toronto and make me wake up at this ungodly hour to award him the Purple
Pipe?
McBride was chosen as this week's recipient of the Purple Pipe, the one
and only award worthy of wiping your ass with. McBride was a one-man wrecking
crew, winning the heavyweight men's singles race, the lightweight men's
doubles race and the lightweight men's eights race.
Furthermore, McBride's performance was crucial in leading the Mustangs
to a first place finish in the meet.
