Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 14, 2021

Didja hear about the family that spent a hundred grand to send their boy to college and all they got was a quarterback?

Does Frazz have Marquette links?

Ba da BOOM. Most recent of my grandkids to graduate from college had no interest AT ALL in football. Or any other sport, so far as I could tell. Good kid…

And therein lies the rub!

And the over-building fund appreciates every penny.

I think it’s kind of sad that so many only seem to think about their sports teams when talking about these educational institutions.

The highest paid government employee in Tennessee is the football coach for the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. According to ESPN, coaches are the highest paid employees in forty states.

SMH.

Ain’t it the truth . .

Go Blue

My daughter didn’t know that her university even had football and basketball teams.

Sad.

You were talking about his dad? But that’s not what you said.

For all the complaints about sports focus, more than one college president (non-power 5) talks about the big jump in donations when playing a bowl game or making the post season basketball tourney.

“Parking for the faculty,

Football for the alumni,

Sex for the students"

A coworker stated that he’d never send his son to a certain college because they have a terrible football team. I asked if his son played football…nope. I asked how was the school in his son’s desired area of academics. He didn’t know. I finally asked if he knew that he was a friggin’ idiot.

None of my sons played sports. No sports injuries for them.

My Alma Mater held the first-ever “Metric Football” game in the U.S., and as we routinely lost to our cross-town rivals we chanted, “We’ve Got Higher Board Scores!”
