A+ Story From Gronk Talking About How He And His Brother Emptied Their Bank Accounts To Buy A Hot Tub Freshman Year At The University Of Arizona

Incredible. On a scale of 1 to Gronk that may the most Gronk story of all time. It's called priorities, friends. Some kids show up to college and get a lay of the land, others show up and immediately drain their bank accounts to purchase a hot tub...to pair with the 99 degree arid Arizona desert heat. And look at him now! The greatest tight end of all time with millions of dollars in the bank. The decision was clearly the right one. 

It's also hilarious to think about how poor everyone is in college. I used to beg my mom to transfer me $40 for so I could get a Mexican calzone from Bruno's Pizza in Amherst, MA (and an 8th of weed but she didn't know about that). That $40 was expected to last me a week and a half. Granted that was 2010, but still. I made due, as do most college students to this day. I was in Athens, GA for a High Noon watch party a few weeks ago and the students were so poor/hungry they were literally taking food off of my plate. In other words, the tradition is still alive and well. So if you're poor in college, don't worry. Things will get better. Just look at what happened to Gronk.
