OT: What's a UConn Fan To Do?!

[JordyG]

So I'm a high school teacher, and at the end of the year, a senior I really like (despite the fact that he's leaving CT to go to Tennessee) dropped off a present for me. I wrote his college recommendation and he wanted to thank me. But he's also a sly little bastard, so this is what he gave me, KNOWING it would kill me a little every time I looked at it. (And he made sure to tell me that he specifically got the LADY VOLS one for me.)

So what could I possibly do with this (other than accidentally "dropping" it)? I'm taking all creative suggestions. . .

Paint it white and blue. Everything but the "Lady". Use it for your dogs when you don't feel like walking them. Use for target practice. Use it as a receptacle for old tampons. It could make a great spit cup.

I'll take it and use it for target practice.

I just got done sighting in my new rifle for deer season, I bet I could help you get rid of it.

I would have tossed it right into the trash. And called any kid who fished it out a "garbage-picker."

I hope you were intelligent enough to congratulate him on his extreme good luck of moving to Tenn. Then too, I hope you were intelligent enough to know what bastard is and looked deeply into his heritage before you characterized his such. While I'm not a UT fans, maybe now with Holly gone, you too will be pleased you had such a nice student. As one who had to re-educated HS educated students I feel for him.

Withdraw the recommendation and return the gift.

I know YOU with your high moral convictions is joking. You'd never actually do that because it to do so would be immoral, nasty, and in poor taste to treat a student in that manner.
I doubt you would ever characterize his parentage in the manner as presented. You have high morals.

Use it and savor it as a symbol of the great friendship that you have with your student.. He knew you well enough to torture you with a friendly rivalry.

While you are, of course, correct, I feel like you are not getting into the spirit of this thread.

Likely the best solution. . . he's a great kid.

...then this would be a great gift to send him. Your lives would be intertwined together.
