The Head is truly a sight to behold, with 100,000 spectators, more then 3000 competitors, 720 boats, 18 races and the biggest party you'll ever attend.
Already, a whole bunch of green-clad people have started showing up around campus. They must be waiting for the Head to start.
Along with the dawn-to-dusk shoreline revelry, there is some serious rowing. Andy Sudduth, America's premier single sculler, will race. So will Tiff Wood and several past U.S. Olympic boats.
Also, be sure to catch the duel between Harvard heavyweight Coach Harry Parker and Yale men's heavyweight Coach Tony Johnson in the master's singles.
The two are seeded next to each other, so they're likely to slog it out most of the way down the three-mile course. Parker may show some emotion.
Anything could happen.
Elsewhere, Yale takes on Columbia in New York. Don't expect Lion Coach Jim Garrett to blame this on any one of his players--the damage to Columbia pride will be too massive.
I'd bet Lawrence Wien, who shelled out millions for a new stadium at venerable Baker Field, is happy to see that the Lions are now 0-17-1 in their last 18.
Remember--only four more weeks and its time for The Game.
