Commentator smashes other publications in dodgeball match
Yesterday was the first ever (to my knowledge) inter-campus publication dodgeball tournament between the Oregon Daily Emerald, the Commentator, KWVA and the Comic Press, and you know who won? You’re damn right: The Oregon Commentator!
Held in the rec center, the round robin tournament was a spectacle of sport and trash-talking. (Okay, so most of the trash-talking was done by the OC.) Our first match was against the ODE. Surly, in varying states of sobriety (or a lack thereof) and clad in our sudsy tank-tops, we quickly dispatched the ‘Ol Dirty with gusto.
CJ Ciaramella, Drew "you could lick me and get drunk" Cattermole and Matt Tham survey the competition
The Comic Press beat KWVA in the next round, and the stage was set for a clash of titans. After I gave the team an inspiring pep talk, we set out to work. It was a nailbiter of a match. In the end, it came down to two people: OC Managing Editor Matt Tham and a really sweaty, angry-looking guy from the Comic Press. (Seriously, he looked like was going to have a temper tantrum.) But Tham prevailed over the sweaty man! Commentator wins! Holy cow, Commentator wins!
The OC team enjoys some delicious tobacco after stomping the competition.
Our only loss of the day came at the hands of KWVA, which had a guy on its team who, by the looks of it, must be pitching some AAA baseball in his free time. In any case, all the teams who lost to us are now our slaves in Valhalla.
Dodgeball … blog contests … ain’t no thing.
P.S. Where were you, Kai Davis? I didn’t see you on the field of battle. Your honor is in question, sir!
Real life called Kai? So you were off buying prostitutes on 5th and blair then? BOOOO this man!
Oh yeah, Drew was sweating a lot … mostly alcohol.
It’s true. I do bleed a lot.
Sorry I couldn’t make it. Real life called. Good job to all the teams that participated.
Ossie, it isn’t sweat. It’s Kia Davis’ tears. Despite initial reports of him not attending, he was actually there (CJ was just trying to same him some face) and he started crying when Thamski spiked a ball right into his face. He started blubbering like a little girl, tears flying everywhere. Drew got sprayed a little.
No big deal, but Kia Davis is a total cry baby, girly man. He bleeds a lot too.
Good show, guys.
Is it just me, or is Drew sweating profusely in that picture?
Congrats!!
