Dean's Cup Picnic

September 30, 2006 5:36 PM

aw was in the lead at the beginning of the day. But as the morning's events - the 5k run and football started - the tide turned and Med took the lead. Although, that might not be true since the football results were apparently controversial and I was never able to get a definitive answer as to what happened.

Still, Law dominated Med at dodgeball. Those Med kids couldn't dodge, duck, dip, dive or dodge to save their lives. The law school won despite their teams' failure to understand basic strategy: when you've got all the balls and there are two guys on the other side, throw all the balls at once - they can't possibly catch them all. The one time they tried this strategy, they managed to fail completely. But it doesn't matter, Law won dodgeball 9-1 overall.

Then came arm wrestling. The problem with arm wrestling this year was the same problem as the picnic in general: pitiful planning. For the past two years, the picnic has been held on a Friday evening. For some inexplicable reason, it was held on a Saturday afternoon this time, resulting in far fewer people being around. Also for the past two years, arm wrestling was the final event at the picnic. It took place after hours and hours of drinking and competing, with the result being hundreds of angry, drunk, competative professional students standing around one picnic table, screaming at the top of their lungs trying to kill each other with words.

This year's arm wrestling was a little more tame. There weren't nearly as many people, and the level of intoxication was pitiful.

The ladies started the arm wrestling off. Our heavy hitter, Claudia, easily took out her first opponent. The problem was that every other Law woman save one was eliminated in the first round. The only girl to make it to the second round other than Claudia lost her match, leaving Claudia our only hope. Her next match was against a scrawny-looking blonde girl. Everyone took the results of the match for granted. But that stopped when the match started. The fucking thing took something like 15 minutes. The Little Blonde that Could would not give up, but it was clear she couldn't possibly win. Even though it was just a matter of time before Claudia won, blondie succeeded in tiring her out, meaning that Med went on to sweep women's arm wrestling, 10-0. At this point, the law school had lost a net of 2 points.

Men's arm wrestling saw better for Law. Our heavy hitters were pretty much invincible. However, because of the way the brackets worked out, two of our best had to face each other, meaning that Med ended up taking 2nd place. The overall score for men's arm wrestling, then, was 7-3, meaning that Law had gained a total of 2 points for the day.

That's when Chris and I left, and I have no idea if any other events were played.

Still, Law, we've got to win. Let's Go Law!

Yeah, I have not been impressed with scheduling thus far this year. So far bar review has been at shitty bars (brink, described as a hotel lobby and too far away, brats, madisons, which is one of the shittiest bars ever, and no plaza) and now the deans cup picnic is in the afternoon on a saturday (holy football conflict batman). There is only one solution for this: plaza, silver dollar, plaza, caribou.
