Ok, so here's a rugby update. The Humboldt State 'Lumberjacks' (and they're OK!) made a good showing of themselves, putting in for one solid try near the end of the match. Yes, we did defeat them 43-7, but when you're playing the Bears, that 7 actually means a lot. Furthermore, they held us to under fifty. This is also a pretty solid accomplishment against the Bears.

Here's what head coach Jack Clark had to say: "It's to convenient to use the `it's the first game excuse.' The fact is we were not very dynamic." I guess that's the amazing thing about our program: a mere victory is not good enough.

So the next match is against Saint Mary's Staurday at 1:00 on Witter field. Come one, come all! Last match they were charging $8 for people not carrying Cal IDs. So alumni, dig out that old student ID. I'm not sure if the next match will be the same price; cost of entrance usually varies a lot from match to match.

For my next trick, you get a choice: do you want to hear about my experience with the Cal Alumni Choir, or do you want to hear my thoughts on Bush's inagural address?
