Shocker: Gronk’s Dad Says Rob Picked Arizona Over Other Schools Because Of The Pool Parties
It might come as a surprise to you that Super Bowl champion and notorious partier Rob Gronkowski, a man who once claimed to have only read 80 percent of a book he had supposedly written, did not choose to attend the University of Arizona because of its rigorous academics.
No, Rob apparently lacked that foresight, as many of us do. So what took the Western New York native all the way to Tucson to continue on his educational path? According to his father, it was the pool parties.
From Vanity Fair:
With each of my sons, when they got to the campus that was right for them, they knew right away. Rob had something like 65 scholarship offers, and I asked, “Where are you going? Syracuse? Ohio State?” He goes, “University of Arizona.” I asked, “Why there?” “Dad, if you ever went to a pool party at Arizona, you’d understand.”
Yeah, I’ve been to Arizona and can confirm Rob’s above statement.
I’ve never been a big Gronk fan. The whole Gronkowski family seems like a bunch of weirdos. I would like to be as athletic as one of them (all of the Gronk brothers played professional sports) no question, but not at the expense of my sanity. Can you imagine if one of the Gronk brothers despised sports and instead pursued biochemical engineering or some shit like that at MIT? I think I would still feel slightly more intelligent than him at a dinner party because of his last name.
It hasn’t been a stellar season for Gronk statistically so far, but there is still time for him to turn it on. Maybe he needs some motivation in the form of 12-hour pool parties in Tucson..

10 years ago at 5:25 pmYour QB is a whiny bitch ass
10 years ago at 2:53 amSteve, if you were at a dinner party with my bulldog and a pet rock you would still be the dumbest one there. The fact you could potentially think you were more intelligent than an MIT grad blows my mind.
10 years ago at 4:46 pmI can feel the hurt your bulldog feels for getting compared to Steve Holt.
10 years ago at 3:20 amI picked asu for a similar reason
10 years ago at 4:47 pmSimilar to the “I have 65 full division one rides but like to party” reason?
10 years ago at 4:58 pmProbably, I mean come on his username proves he is athletic!
10 years ago at 6:29 pmAsu and UofA are two different universities you meathead!!!
10 years ago at 6:30 pmI believe the only thing you need to have in order to get accepted to ASU is a pulse

10 years ago at 4:50 pmHe picked asu because you didn’t go there Steve
10 years ago at 4:52 pmASU and UofA are two different schools kegatron. You’re fuckin out!
10 years ago at 5:24 pmGRONK SCORE. GRONK SMASH.
10 years ago at 5:14 pmSteve, I never understood the outright hated of you until now. The Gronks aren’t a bunch of weirdos, they have more fun in a single day than you’ve had in your entire GDI life.
10 years ago at 5:14 pmHatred*
10 years ago at 4:36 amThis just in: Fuck SteveHolt
10 years ago at 5:49 pm“It hasn’t been a stellar season for Gronk statistically so far” you’ve never watched football have you steve?
10 years ago at 6:20 pmSteve seems like the type to prefer soccer and is adamant that it’s called football.
10 years ago at 10:00 pmEvery season Gronk is healthy for, he puts up best Tight End ever stats. STEVE HOLT WATCH A GAME OF FOOTBALL BEFORE YOU SPEAK.
