The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 08, 2024

None of the above.

Go Blue!

I doubt they have ever studied any subject.

She asks innocently!

A revival of College Bowl had a ten spisode run in 2022.

“Controversial thesis: If the highest paid person in your university or college is the basketball coach or the football coach, then it is not a university, it is a sporting franchise with a side hustle in tertiary education.”- Michael F. Bird

His answer was a little misleading.

How to bring more money into the corporation, I mean college.

Go (Wisconsin) Badgers’ neighboring State!

The popularity of a college has nothing to do with academics!

better order some pizza!

“This is sports. That’s Academic.”

Too bad Bama had a good day a few weeks ago or it would’ve been Georgia there. They were incredible this year

The correct answer was “Yes”. It’s all of the above, physics of arcing the ball to the receiver, politics in arguing with the refs, history by studying “tape” of the opponent, and finally literature by reading the X’s and O’s. ;) There’s also chemistry, but she didn’t ask about that.

I’m with Gladys.

If it was soccer it would be Dramatics.

College Sport players get scholarships their degree and yet spend hours a day on the “field” and not in class. And few are truly competent students. Sad to real academic students who struggle often without scholarships and have to borrow a ton of money to get that Degree. No wonder we have to import Doctors from afar. We need to pay medical students way toward their degrees and skills. Sport time are short – Doctors/nursing 40 plus years.

Not that kind of championship Gladys .

most probably couldn’t pass an 8th grade spelling test. Or even read it for that matter.

boy, this’ll be interesting to see how they get there college degrees. maybe they’ll do it in an obstacle maze style. :D

Basketball or football, probably, Gladys.

Tonight is the night the great University of Washington Huskies play some other team from back east somewhere for the college championship.

Oy! ☺️.

I think Gladys is thinking of the old College Bowl TV show that pitted colleges mental wits against eachother to see whose college was the smartest. I always had more interest in this program than the football/basketball competitions. It was something my mother/teacher had in common.

They are competing in hoop shots……

Tonight is the Midget Toss Championship at the Drunker’n a Skunk Inn.

To see which school spent the most money to hire the best team.

This fits in nicely with the arc they are running for Doonesbury.

Now that truly is hilarious! Gladys is the last person alive untouched by the college football hype/money machine!

UW Dawgs Go Huskies

I don’t think she’ll understand if he explained it.

Are you serious, Gladys?? You’ve been married all these years and still don’t know what your husband likes on TV??

Dreading the traffic when I leave the office today. I go right by NRG Stadium on the way home :-(

Any school that accepts money from the NCAA for playing football to basketball on TV should have their non-profit status revoked and required to pay income tax.

Gladys, it’s debatable.

Definitely not a sports enthusiast it would seem…..

who can graduate with most useless degree and owe the most in student loans for 1000 Alex. (gender neutral tolerance of political wokeness of humanitarian climate change of historical revisionist government taxing. speeches are plagerizingly prepared and ready to bore with illogical nonsense based on passion and intolerance of opposing views so that the all get a participation award for excellence and a chance to be a Harvard.Yale.Princeton president.

University Challenge is a popular TV show in the UK and yes, they compete on their knowledge of academic subjects, like a very high-powered pub quiz.

GO HUSKIES!!!

Ooo! I hope it’s physics!!!

Washington didn’t give them the game I thought they would. There is always next year, I guess…
