Not that this should be shocking news to anybody, but there is a lot going on in London over the next two weeks.

So if you want to follow your favorite Princeton rowers, you need a plan.

We’re here to help.

GoPrincetonTigers.com will give daily updates on who is competing, or who just competed, but for those who want to plan their early wake-ups around specific races, here is what you need to know.
NBCOlympics.com has promised people the ability to watch all events live “with a cable, satellite or telco TV subscription that includes MSNBC and CNBC,” so you will need to check your local listings. You may need to sign up online, and there is also a mobile app “London 2012 Live Extra” that is free to download.

You can follow the athletes’ Twitter feeds, which are listed in each rower's feature (links above), as well as the Princeton rowing and the Princeton athletics ones. The Ivy League is using the hashtag #LondonIvies for their own coverage.
