This Is What It Looks Like To Get Free Shit From The Rose Bowl Gift Suite

A few weeks ago, I brought you guys the full list of gifts that bowl players would be getting this post season. Many bowl games included something called a gift suite where players get to choose from a whole bunch of gifts as long as it didn’t exceed a certain amount, because the NCAA frowns upon that or something.

The Rose Bowl was one of those bowls that included a gift suite and thanks to two videos posted to their Instagram account, we can see that both the Stanford and Iowa players were pretty pleased as to what they found in the suite.

Some pretty good stuff in there to choose from. However, if I’m running a bowl game then I’m going to put some real shit in there.

1) $100 handshakes
2) Strippers and cocaine
3) Gold Trans Ams
4) More $100 handshakes

This all may sound familiar because it’s the best gift suite ever provided in the history of the NCAA by SMU back in the 1980s (minus the Trans Am, that was all A&M and even that couldn’t get Dickerson to College Station). If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

    Forum topic: Does TFM help or hurt the Greek community? Obviously the site is satire, but there are “HS frat stars” who take it too seriously, then they bring this mentality to college and make it a reality. Of course they should have these bullshit ideas hazed out of them, but those perpetuated stereotypes still will be present. Does TFM contribute to this enough where it’s harmful to the Greek community? Or does TFM shine a light on news stories the media would never pick up?

      If TFM didn’t exist, something/someone else would exist as “TFM” in one way or another. There would be no way to escape a “frat” media site/group. Shit, College Weekly is mostly fraternity-based news and video. Their content is gaining popularity quickly.

        But TFM is like a bible. My little cousin is attending LSU this fall and hes already dead set on DKE cause of some video he saw on TFM. He’s the definition of a try-hard. He’s a good young man, and with some education he’ll be a stand up fraternity man, but as it stands, he lives and breathes TFM. It’s absurd.

        On the one hand, he’s now very interested in Greek Life (well actually, more like “frat” life) but he is the embodiment of every frat sterotype – and it is from TFM.

        Ideally, whomever he chooses to be his brothers will teach him right. I can say, I started out the same way. Granted, I didn’t know what TFM was before I rushed, but I still had my stereotypical ideas based on the media. You just have to guide him to choose for brotherhood, not the parties.

      The highschoolers on this site take everything literal and wany to be frat boys instead of fraternity men. When I was rush chair, I asked someone what they wanted to major in. He responded that he majored in partying. Shit stains like that can’t understand satire. He didn’t get a bid from us, but he got a bid elsewhere, thus hurting the greek community.

      I think TFM stemmed from MLIB from way back in the day. I dont think that website helped anyone become more “bro”

        What the shit is that? It definitely didn’t stem from it since I actually had to look it up to know what that stood for.
