George Jewett Puns

As of the 2021 football season, Michigan and Northwestern will be competing for the George Jewett Trophy, a new rivalry trophy that honors the Big Ten’s first black player -- who competed for both teams during the 1890s.

We love honoring those who paved the way, and The Jewett Trophy becomes the first rivalry trophy in FBS history to be named after a Black player. https://4ormypeople.com/athletics/2021/2/25/george-jewett-trophy-becomes-first-fbs-rivalry-trophy-named-after-a-black-player

It seemed like they might have been about to apologize or make up.

This part made me wonder a bit. Both were disgusting characters, but I wonder if they realized that they had been tricked, right before the explosion.

LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

The Audacity of Hope (as a Michigan fan); Michigan defeats Northwestern 33-7

By David Woelkers

You’re probably expecting me to write a column on the results of yesterday's game. I’ll get to that, don’t worry. But indulge me for a second here as I talk about what surrounded it:

If you don’t know who George Jewett is, or why he’s important enough a figure to warrant a trophy in his honor being made, that’s okay. I didn’t either, and I’ve been baptized in the maize and blue tradition since before I was born.

George Jewett was born in Ann Arbor in 1870. He was the valedictorian of his graduating class, captain of the debate, football and baseball teams, fluent in four languages, and won the AAU championship in the 100m sprint. 30 years after his death in 1908, and despite only playing two seasons in Ann Arbor, he was still regarded as one of the greatest players in the pre-Fielding Yost era of Michigan football.

He did all of this while being a black man in Jim Crow era America. The ugly reality of Jewett’s sudden move from Michigan to Northwestern is that Dr. Victor C. Vaughan, the dean of Michigan’s medical school and a prominent eugenicist, made clear to Jewett he believed no black man was of an able enough mind and body to both play football and study medicine. In all likelihood, Vaughan probably didn’t want a black man studying medicine at his institution under any circumstances, and simply used Jewett’s football career as a cover. Even after proving Vaughan wrong in Evanston, Jewett was unable to find steady employment as a doctor due to the color of his skin, and returned to Ann Arbor to instead run a dry cleaning and pressing business.

The surprise even the most diehard Wolverines have had at learning about the incredible and somewhat tragic story of George Jewett is part of a larger problem within Michigan’s carefully curated image of their own history. People like Jewett, Moses Fleetwood Walker, the first ever black athlete at Michigan, and Willis Ward were left to faded pages, while eugenicists and racists like Vaughan, President C.C Little, and Fielding Yost were engraved in marble and brick.

Even now, despite having a trophy made in his honor and the induction ceremony taking place literally the night before the game, George Jewett is not an inductee in the Michigan Athletics Hall of Honor. Nor is Moses Fleetwood Walker. While Willis Ward is an inductee, and was honored with a room in the Michigan Union following the Union’s 2020 r

Title caught your attention then? 🙂

Someone recommended the The Futility Closet podcast series covering historical oddities on another Sub a couple of days ago, and I thought this particular episode -- grisly, lurid and fascinating -- might interest all you fine members here, as several FULL NAMES of residents (1784-1892) are given... Recognize any ancestors?

Episode # 336 - A Gruesome Cure for Consumption

Podcast series is (freely!) available on several platforms apparently (You-Tub, Google, etc)... Here are 2 of them (browser access -- you don't need an app):

AUDACY (stream or download!)

A link at top of Audacy page lists all available episodes, fwiw... But research sources apparently not listed.

podcasts @ GOOGLE (stream only)

Full listing of research sources are available at the Google page (woohoo!), which is my main reason for including it here. The page layout may require you to scroll to epi #336...

Here are the residents' names mentioned (and generally in the order named). Any embarrassing misspellings are mine, as I am transcribing these purely phonetically:

• John Barber - near Griswold, Connecticut

• Rae family - Jewett City, Connecticut, c1854

• Reverend Justice Forward - Belchertown, Massachusetts, c1788

• his daughter Mercy - same locale

• Rachel Harris + Capt. Burton (her husband) - Manchester, Vermont, c1790

• Timothy Bede - same locale

• Spalding family - Dummerston, Vermont, late 18th-C

• Stephen Staples and daughter Abigail - Cumberland, Rhode Island, 1796

• his married daughter Levina Chase, wife of Stephen Chase

• brothers Frederick + Daniel Gransom - Woodstock, Vermont, 1817 (1870?)

• Capt. Pearson, blacksmith - same locale

• Nancy Young - Sterling, Connecticut, 1827

• Moses Holmes - Willington, Connecticut, 1784

• Mercy "Lina" Brown - Exeter, Rhode Island, 1892

• her brother Edwin + her father George Brown - same locale

• Dr. Harold Metcalfe - same locale

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

[Removed]

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

There hasn't been a post all year!

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”
