As we all expected, the Dodgers beat up on the lowly, they-can-never-win, ha-ha-they-don't-have-any-world-series-championships Giants.  I mean, pretty much everyone expected this, because let's face it, the stupid Giants' pitcher hadn't even won the Cy Young last year.  What a lousy pitcher! 

New Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly proved he doesn't just look good in a mullett, he also may be the best manager EVAIR. 


 

What a soul patch!

It seems clear that if Twist were to become a dictator, he'd want to be Muammar Gaddafi, mostly for the ability to wear crazy, wacky outfits.  Let's take a look at some of what must undoubtedly be Twist's clothes wish list, which also happens to be actual outfits worn by everyone's favorite African dictator who has been in power more than 4 decades.

Yes, I am a purple people leaderdictator.

I am the most regal boy scout on the plant.

Am I in bed, or at the UN? OR BOTH???

Michael Jackson ain't got nuthin' on my epauletts!

 I wonder if Muammar's haberdasher ever said to him: "If you cross this line of men's fashion, YOU DIE!!" Also, why couldn't he ever get promoted beyond the rank of Colonel? HE'S IN CHARGE OF PROMOTIONS. What, he thought it would be too much?

Not only are these guys great rugby players, they're extremely well educated.

Last Saturday was a bit of an issue.  I couldn't make the noon game vs. Notre Dame due to a previous commitment.  Apparently, we used several reserves and won 17-7.  How DARE those silly Domers score a try, AND A CONVERSION, on us!!!!1  The only logical conclusion was that Notre Dame must have cheated, much like stanfurd in pretty much any game they (allegedly) won, ever.  I know this ND score very much upset Ohio Bear, because I had earlier told him that ND didn't look so hot.  Regardless, I was still confident, and was looking forward to the 5 pm game vs. Dartmouth.  With our 42-0 drubbing of Hah-hah-hahvahd, it was clear that the Ivy League was Bear Territory.

Mrs. CALumbus Bear and I went to the Collegiate Rugby Sevens Invitiational this weekend because (1) Cal was attending and (2) it was in Columbus, known as one of the world's best and most awesomest cities, albeit with too few Cal Bears.  Neither the missus nor yours truly is a rugby expert, but we couldn't miss this chance to see our reigning (and 25 times out of the last 31) National Champions.  The action kicked off on Friday night, where we kicked things off against Harvard as we see below.

The guy kicking is All American Keegan Englebrecht.  I was sitting right next to his family. His father is originally from South Africa, and they live in Texas (Dallas, I believe).  Nice folks and really dedicated to their Senior Son, who, by the way, is one hell of a rugby player.  He also has the best boot in the entire tourney field.  On a day when all kicks were dropkicked (exceptionally difficult), he stood head and shoulders above the rest.  He took every kickoff and every conversion attempt, and he did remarkably well.
