Oak Brook Alumni Association Athletic Affairs Committee Achieves New Triumph

Bakersfield, CA - The OBAAAAC proudly announced the first boxing triumph for one of its members this morning.

"Seth O'Dell is a tribute to the ideal of the student athlete that the Oak Brook College of Law strives to make," stated OBAAAAC founder and athletic wannabe Mark J. Bigger, "Oak Brook grads should be, if not the best attorneys, able to beat their opponents into submission through athletics."

O'Dell won his three round bout by decision after the referee repeatedly intervened to make sure that his larger opponent wanted to continue. After the win, Seth O'Dell thanked his alma mater for all of the support they have given him throughout the years.

"Oak Brook gave me a flexible schedule so that I could pursue other interests," he said, referring to their unique vision of distance learning. "Their professors gave me enough frustration that I developed an interest in wanting to go out and beat people up. This is my opportunity to show how far that interest has brought me."

A large crowd of partisans packed the annual Bakersfield Police Activities League fundraising event "The Battle of the Badges." Fans of O'Dell repeatedly chanted "Seth O'Dell, Seth O'Dell," while carefully emphasizing the first and third beats.

Partisans of the California Department of Corrections (CDC) officer who was O'Dell's opponent repeatedly chanted "CDC, CDC," to increase the frenzied atmosphere of competition. Some audience members responded by chanting "GED, GED," in reference to the exam that CDC officers often take. More sensitive members of the audience hushed them up by reminding them of the pain it could cause to those CDC employees who have had no education at all.

OBAAAAC members applauded Mr. O'Dell's efforts in the boxing arena, pointing to the fact that other than the 120 member strong golfing chapter, Oak Brook athletics have been sadly lacking.

"For too long Oak Brook athletics have been mocked for not being able to compete without a cart," stated alum Jesse Whitten, "now we have shown that we can compete and succeed in other areas. I, for one, will be working to form a vacation beach volleyball team."

Inquiries about the OBAAAAC and their charitable work with physically handicapped Oak Brook alumni of all geographic backgrounds can be obtained through the Bakersfield Extension Office.
