Ha, but did you know Home Ec, or whatever it's called now, has been a favorite major of male ISU athletes.
How else did they learn to make the pizza they deliver?Originally posted by HRiscool:
Well they do need something to fall back on when the Pros don't come calling.
Have you ever watched the whole thing? I have a copy. It's absolutely hilarious.Originally posted by HRiscool:

Lone Clone, we're just havin some good natured yucks.
It's also a nostalgic look at a much, much different time....hell, it's from about 15 years before LC was there!
When I watched I was struck by the comment that the parents were deciding if they could afford to send their daughter to college. Of course, a lot of parents had to and have to figure out how they can send their kids to college, but this seemed to be "she's a girl, she doesn't need to go to college, but she wants to, so we'll let her." This was a prevailing attitude then in some circles. And the movie was careful to show that what a home ec major learns carries over into married life for a woman.

I believe the preferred declared major for many of the JukeTrans at ISU is 'Family Sciences'. One Clone roster I saw a few months ago had it listed for about 5 or 6 of Fred's players. WTF is Family Sciences? Whatever it is, that department must be rapidly expanding given that PR has decided to follow Fred's lead and bring in a bunch of jucos every year.
Family and Consumer Sciences is the new name for Home Economics. And the athletes majoring in it didn't start with Fred. I saw FB players listed before Fred ever came to ISU.
