Can't believe it!

I just got an Iowa Hawkeye mug from a kid whose parents know I'm a big Gopher fan. Suggestions on what to do with it. Maybe it will go as a White Elephant gift to some other Gopher fan.

[BleedGopher]

Drop the kid a letter grade. That type of insult can't go un-punished in this society. Kids and their parents need to learn to respect their teachers and this is a blatant slap in your face.

Go Gophers!!

[gophergrad]

A letter grade? Hold the kid back a year. That will teach the kid and his parents.

[Jike Spingleton]

If it's a Hawkeye family, the kid will probably be held back a grade, anyway. Must find another form of punishment.

Have him arrested for bringing an obscene object to school.

[MRJ]

Yipes!!! Hope you get more desirable gifts between now and Dec. 25, otherwise it figures to be a rough Christmas.

[goldenboy]

Use it as a pee can in your fishing boat. About all it's good for.

That's funny...I've got some kids in my class who are Iowa fans as well. So....for a bonus question at the end of my last test, I put a picture of myself cooking on the grill before a game (with a glass of morgan in one hand but shhhh....) and I asked this question to poke fun of the Iowa folks.. Which University am I tailgating at? Hint...This state and team are far superior to Iowa. The kids got a big kick out of it and everyone got the question right since I was wearing a Gophers shirt and their was a big Gophers flag in the background!

Tell him every time he cheers for the Hawkeyes a puppy dies.

Tell him every time he cheers for the Hawkeyes a puppy dies.


And that dead puppy can be his Christmas present in return.

I have a kid who wears his Iowa bib-overalls to class now and then. Hurts my eyes.

[LC19]

I would have found a nice spot in the bottom of the garbage for it.

[alltimetwinsfan]

Don't hold him back...you're only punishing yourself for that. I'd make him write a current events story on the Gopher-Iowa basketball thumping coming up on January 2.

[Schlic Daddy]

have you been naughty this year?

[Schnoodler]

I have a great deal of respect for special needs teachers. Kudos to you Spaniel.

[StartGrayPlz]

Take a hammer to it, you'll feel better.

[Back2Campus Guy]

Just return it to the Iowa City Police, 'cause everyone knows they got plenty of Iowa Hawkeye mugs there!

[MNSpaniel]

To make matters worse I lost the bet when Iowa beat MN this year. So I had to put on an Iowa jersey for two days. So besides being the wrong color ... the jersey they provided me was about a size too small. It wasn't a very flattering fit.

[Dr.Don]

Fill the mug up with good cold beer and drink the beer. The mug must be good for something.

[Schnoodler]

I might have a solution. Get an approprately sized goldy and have him sitting on it like it's a toilet. Put some turd like candy in the bowl like chocolate covered peanuts. Than both will be displayed, and you'll understand the meaning.

Does it have directions to a stall at the Metrodome hidden in it?
