Neither.
Nothing great abt it and it's not toffee nosed.
Bit of fun for participants and excuse for a piss up for budding eastern bloc spies, heads of British espionage and a few thousand undergrads and friends.
Well overrated. |  |

for me it is a great brittish tradition,i remember being at a fulham match on tyhe old thames bank and we could see the boat race ,and as it went pass a break up in play while a player got injured meant the qwhole of the thames bank turned around
but the press got hold of the pictures and it was all over the papers next day that the fulham fans were so bored with fulham that they turned round and watched the boat race |  |

Whether you like rowing or not, the tradition or not, the fact that it's the two most famous universities in the country (and actually the world) or not, one thing that can't be denied is that, like many other things, it is sport in it's in purest form.
No transfers fees, £300k pw salaries or agents involved. Just two teams that are ultimate rivals where winning is everything and losing is not an option worth contemplating.
Me? Not my sport really but the intense dedication, competition and desperation to win keeps me interested for 20 minutes each year. [Post edited 6 Apr 2014 19:35]

In my experience the tvvatish kunt ratio in Putney on boat race day is spectacular. But to answer the question, both. |  | | |

Great tradition, but I love it when one them sinks. Or an Aussie tries to torpedo them. | |

We had our own version on the Cam many years back...
Two punts... Occupants armed with large bicycle pumps that made superb water pistols. Even the policeman watching thought it was funny. One "punter" ended up hanging onto his pole which was stuck in the mud, as his boat continued downstream...

why can't they alternate between rivers in oxford and cambridge and not use the london part of the thames!
why should tax payers pay for policing and clear ups??? | | | |

Perhaps if the oars were made more robust it could be referred to as "thick skulling"...

You could ask the same thing about a number of ' British traditions ' in the sporting calendar.
FA cup.....even we don't put a full team out because we can't be bother
League cup....as above
The Derby.....last time I went there was not loads of opentop buses from the Eastend just loads of hooray Henry's |  | | |

If they used the Manchester Ship Canal, it would dissolve the boats... | | | |
