University of Memphis Football

The coach had put together the perfect team for the University of Memphis.

The only thing missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the High Schools and even other colleges, but he couldn’t find a quarterback who could ensure a Bowl win.

Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan boy with a truly incredible arm. He threw a rock straight into a window from 80 yards away.

“I’ve got to get this guy!” Coach said to himself. “He has the perfect arm!”

So, he brings the young Afghan to the States and teaches him the great game of football……………and the Tigers win one game after another….they eventually get invted to the Rose Bowl….and WIN!!

The young Afghan is hailed as a great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do is call his mother.

“Mom,” he says into the phone, “I just won the Rose Bowl!”

“I don’t want to talk to you,” the old woman says. “You are not my son!”

“Mother, I don’t think you understand,” pleads the son, “I’ve just won the greatest College sporting event in the world!”

“No! Let me tell you,” his mother retorts. “At this very moment there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn’t get assaulted!”

The old lady pauses then tearfully says, ” I will never forgive you for making us move to Memphis!”
